ABSTRACT

Chung Ju Yung could not stay quiet for long. His impatience grew as ambitious bureaucrats began to look into the elaborate network of financial devices by which he held his group together. The hypocrisy of the democratic reform movement was not his style. He felt more at ease with the old arrangements, under which he had funneled money into the coffers of whoever was in power in return for the favors he wanted. If he could never respect Chun Doo Hwan as president, he viewed his successor with boundless contempt.
