SEOUL, May 29 (UPI) -- Thousands of South Koreans Friday put aside concerns of war threats from North Korea to attend the funeral in Seoul of former President Roh Moo-hyun.
Tearful mourners, displaying colors of yellow that Roh had used in his 2002 presidential campaign, gathered at the capital's Gyeongbok royal palace to pay tribute to a man they regarded as a challenger of the country's political establishment and regionalism, Yonhap news agency reported.
