Mahkeme Chun'in görevde kaldigi süre içinde 220 milyar wonun (191 milyon ABD $) üzerindeki parayi uygunsuz bir sekilde biriktirdigine hükmetti. Eski devlet baskani bu miktara sahip oldugunu yalanlayararak yine de söz verdigi gibi fonlari iade etti.

Calling the money "gifts and donations" from conglomerates, Chun promised to return it to state coffers. After the announcement, he retired to Baekdam Temple at Mount Seorak, Gangwon Province.

A court later ruled that Chun had improperly accumulated over 220 billion won (US$191 million) during his term in office. The former president denied having that amount and has yet to keep his promise to return the funds.
