Five former presidents including Roh have been tarnished by scandals involving either themselves or their families. Apart from Roh, Chun Doo-Hwan and Roh Tae-Woo personally faced a criminal probe.
Chun and Roh Tae-Woo were convicted in 1995 of receiving bribes and inciting mutiny. Both were sentenced to death but pardoned in 1997.
