2015 May 23, Hong Kong Economic Journal, 全斗煥 藉戒嚴法奪權 (Chun Doo-hwan: Seizing Power through Martial Law):

In 1979, Park Chung-hee was assassinated, Chun Doo-hwan and his Hanahoe members then staged the Coup d'état of December Twelfth to overthrow then martial law commander Jeong Seung-hwa and made acting president Choi Kyu-hah a figurehead, therefore became the de facto leader of the country.

2021 November 14, United Daily News, 全斗煥的死前一擊：欺騙轉型正義的南韓「最後獨裁者」 (Chun Doo-hwan's Last Strike before Death: The Last Dictator of South Korea that Cheated Transitional Justice):

As the Hanahoe was very influential within the military, Chun Doo-hwa mobilized 6,000 soldiers on 12 December [1979] to attack and occupy the Ministry of National Defense and other military institution and arresting his boss—martial law commander Jeong Seung-hwa, in an event later known as "Coup d'état of December Twelfth"...

由於一心會在軍隊內已能呼風喚雨，全斗煥於是在12月12日，動員武裝6,000名武裝兵力，直搗並佔領國防部與其他軍事機構，並逮捕上司——戒嚴司令官鄭昇和，史稱「雙十二政變」……

2022 July 27, Hong Kong China News Agency, 韓國警察和新政府對峙愈演愈烈 (Intensifying Confrontation between South Korean Police and Government):

Later, Minister of the Interior and Safety Lee Sang-min strongly criticized that "The National Police Station Commander Meeting is not only a violation of the Civil Service Act punishable by criminal penalty, but also very similar to the Coup d'état of December Twelfth staged by the Hanahoe."

Suíhòu, xíngzhèng ānquán bù chángguān Lǐxiángmǐn zuòchū qiángliè pīpàn chēng, “jǐngchá shǔcháng huìyì bùjǐn wéifǎn guójiā gōngwùyuán fǎ, zúyǐ shòudào xíngshì chéngfá, érqiě xìngzhì jǐhū yǔ yīxīnhuì shìlì fādòng de ‘shuāng shí'èr zhèngbiàn’ xiàngdāng.”

隨後，行政安全部長官李祥敏作出強烈批判稱，「警察署長會議不僅違反國家公務員法，足以受到刑事懲罰，而且性質幾乎與一心會勢力發動的『雙十二政變』相當。」
