Prosecutors have slapped travel bans on some 10 family members of disgraced ex-president Chun Doo-hwan, but Chun himself and his wife remain free to travel. Another 10 of their close friends have also been prohibited from leaving the country. 
Chun's youngest son Jae-man, who lives in the U.S., will face a travel ban once he returns to Korea.

Former National Security Council deputy secretary-general Philip Yang (楊永明) yesterday expressed concern about the Keelung City Government’s plan to establish a red-light district in the city.
Yang, who is planning to run in the city’s mayoral election next year, yesterday said the city government had to give serious consideration to how such a district would affect Keelung residents.
