Jeon Du-hwan's Grandson Who Exposed Family's 'Black Money'
Live Broadcast: "I Will Surrender... My Brother Can Live Only If I Do Drugs"

Jeon Woo-won, the grandson of former President Jeon Du-hwan, who has been exposing the corruption of the Jeon Du-hwan family day after day, revealed a drug use scene during a YouTube live broadcast.


On the 17th, Jeon said through a YouTube live, "I am doing drugs and telling the truth," and took a substance that appeared to be drugs. He emphasized his intention to surrender, saying, "If I take drugs on the broadcast like this, I will get tested and serve my sentence."


The drug use scene seems to be a move to emphasize the reality of the Jeon Du-hwan family's 'black money.' He urged an investigation into the corruption of the Jeon Du-hwan family, saying, "Is it better for drug users and criminals to be punished, or is it better for criminals not to be punished without doing drugs?"

Earlier, Jeon had revealed that he was a drug user. When his father, Jeon Jae-yong, said in an interview with a media outlet that "my son was treated for depression," Jeon refuted, saying, "It was not depression medicine, but drugs. I smoked drugs like LSD, 2C-E, and marijuana."


During the live broadcast that day, Jeon mentioned several drugs and took substances presumed to be drugs. While taking drugs, he said, "I will do drugs and catch criminals," adding, "Since I am also among the criminals, I will be caught first."


Jeon appeared to be incoherent as if intoxicated by drugs. He said, "I said on the broadcast that I am a drug user and did the broadcast. So what if I do drugs?" and "I am doing drugs and telling the truth. They do not do drugs but embezzle the hard-earned money of you all and use slush funds."


The live broadcast ended with the arrival of U.S. police. After the drug use, Jeon continued to make noise, including shouting, and a police officer, presumably dispatched after receiving a report, appeared and stopped the live broadcast.


Recently, Jeon has been exposing the illegal slush fund suspicions and other corruptions involving the Jeon Du-hwan family and their acquaintances. He claimed that the Jeon Du-hwan family lives a luxurious life using black money of unclear origin.


On the 15th, through his SNS, he said, "Since I was young, we rented ultra-luxury hotels for several days and went on family trips with the whole family of several dozen people eating full-course meals. We went on family trips every year until middle school," adding, "I can't understand how people with only 290,000 won in total assets could do that."



Meanwhile, on the same day, Jeon donated half of his assets. He disclosed his bank account balance of about 110,000 dollars and donated about half of it, approximately 52,000 dollars, to UNICEF during the live broadcast.
