People of various circles demanded traitor Chun return the illicit money and properties he had accumulated by use of power and through scandals during the tenure of his office but he has so far refused to comply with collection, insisting that he had no assets.

The search operation resulted in the discovery of more than 100 artifacts including art and ceramic works worth a colossal sum of money.

An old art work worth more than a hundred million won was found in Chun's residence, in particular.

This gave the lie to his assertion that he had just 290,000 won in his bank account.
