Average Koreans Aid with Hunt for Former ROK Presidential Secretary

I guess this guy figures he can ride out the ROK presidential scandal to its conclusion by remaining in hiding:

The National Assembly is getting close to tracking down Woo Byung-woo, the former presidential secretary for civil affairs who has been on the run to avoid questioning over his role in the abuse of power scandal that led to the impeachment of Park Geun-hye.

Its uncommon allies in the hunt: average angry Koreans.

Several people, including Woo and the presidential friend at the center of the scandal, Choi Soon-sil, did not obey summonses by a bipartisan special legislative committee that held a series of public hearings last week to grill key suspects in the scandal.

Former and current lawmakers have come together to offer a nearly 15 million won ($12,855) bounty for details on the whereabouts of Woo, who has earned the nickname “mikkuraji” (loach) in local media, a Korean term for someone hard to catch.

A personal aide of Rep. Sohn Hye-won from the main opposition Minjoo Party of Korea, who is one of the committee’s 18 members, said on a CBS radio show Tuesday morning that ordinary Koreans were eagerly hunting Woo down.  [Joong Ang Ilbo]

You can read the rest at the link, but the summons papers has to be handed to him in person to be legally binding.  This is why he is remaining in hiding so no one can hand him the papers that would legally force him to appear in public for questioning about the scandal.
