"Cash for Summit" Pardons

From S Korea pardons cash convicts:
    "SOUTH Korea today pardoned six people, including an ex-spy agency chief, convicted over illegally paying 500 million dollars to North Korea in 2000, the justice ministry said."

I'm surprised this story received such little attention from the English-language Korean press. The exemption is Presidential Pardons Given on Buddha's Birthday from the Chosun Ilbo.
