[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jin-ho] Former President Jeon Du-hwan is hospitalized and receiving treatment at Severance Hospital in Sinchon, Seoul.


According to political circles on the 14th, the former president was admitted to the hospital on the 13th to undergo health examinations. It is reported that if there are no special health issues, he is expected to be discharged during the Liberation Day holiday period.



The former president appeared at the appellate trial held at the Gwangju District Court on the 9th, accused of defaming witnesses by denying the military's helicopter gunfire during the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement. At that time, he was dozing off in the defendant's seat and left the courtroom 25 minutes after the trial began, citing health problems.
