On the 24th, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno of the Government of Japan said at a regular press conference, "I would like to express my condolences for the death of former President Chun Doo-hwan and pray for the soul of the deceased."
When asked how the Japanese government accepted the death of Chun Doo-hwan, he answered, "He was the first Korean president to make an official visit to Japan in 1984."
The Japanese media is also very interested in the news of Chun Doo-hwan's death. NHK introduced Chun Doo-hwan as "taking control of the coup d'etat in 1980 and conducting a coercive developmental dictatorship for seven and a half years." They also reported the fact that Chun Doo-hwan, the former head of the Korean state, visited Japan for the first time and met with Emperor Showa. The Nihon Keizai Shimbun also said, "Following former presidents Park Chung-hee and Roh Tae-woo, Chun Doo-hwan passed away, and the Korean military dictatorship that recorded an era was completely over."
