Here is a YTN News report about the death of Mayor Park:
According to the YTN News report Mayor Park was found dead in slopes of Bukhansan mountain near Waryong Park. The below map shows where the park is located at in Seoul with red tree icon:
It has not been confirmed if this is suicide yet or not, but according to what this daughter has said, it does appear to be a suicide. If confirmed this would be the second major political suicide since 2009 to rock South Korea. In 2009 former President Roh Moo-hyun committed suicide when him and his family was faced with corruption probes.
Condolences to Mayor Park’s family and friends.
Sad to hear this, we did see the news that he was missing even in the States.
Tragic news for the family and friends.
If this was in fact a suicide as it appears to be, KBS is reporting a possible motive of a city employee filing a sexual harassment complaint against him:

Just a commie avoiding a scandal. “Suicide” to stop an investigation that would have exposed more commies.
Condolences to Park’s family.
Condolences to the family but don’t do the crime if you can’t handle the time.
Why condolences? Commie family sucking off the life blood of the country for their personal gain.
Flyingsword, it is customary, in certain circles, to offer small kindnesses to the family and friends of those who die. That Park was a politician we may not have chosen ourselves is immaterial. He did have family. He did have friends. And his selfish act of leaving a dead body on a mountain was as much an admission of guilt as if he was convicted.
Here is some of that obsolete thinking to which I try to hold. Granted it’s a bit “Eurocentric”; but we are the product of our environment and our actions.
Lefties worldwide have become so detached from reality they are eating their own (and themselves) just to keep up the fiction of staying in compliance with their own unworkable rules.
Mayor Park has been a big #metoo advocate. As a lawyer, he won Korea’s first sexual harassment case. Now he appears to be exposed as yet another #metoo perpetrator… not the first time in recent history where the loudest #metoo supporters have been closet predators…
…or victims of unstable women…
…who knows?
Whatever the case, the left has weaponized manufactured outrage of this nature…
…so it is somewhat glorious to see it mostly affecting the hypocrites on the left.
When I was younger, I chased “unstable women.”
Now I thank God I never caught any…
“When I was younger, I chased “unstable women.”
Now I thank God I never caught any…”
Plot Twist: They all are… it is only a matter of degree.
OTOH, I met a few more stable than me, so it works out on balance.
yeah, For Whom The Bell Tolls…Metallica. I have no kind words for someone that subscribes to a ideology responsible for the deaths of millions and the misery of billions. https://youtu.be/eeqGuaAl6Ic
Flyingsword, I hear you and sympathize; but I’m constrained to try to spread the Gospel even to brutal scumbags… Because frankly, I need a Savior as much as anyone else.
John 2:15 And he made for himself a whip from rope and cast all of them out of The Temple, and the sheep, the lambs, and money exchangers, and he poured out their money and overturned their tables.
Being a Christian doesn’t mean being a pushover.
True. But we need to “follow orders”. And since the Romans sacked Jerusalem and destroyed the temple in about 70 AD (Titus Flavius Josephus wrote it up very nicely), that “home-made whip” approach needs a bit of refinement…
There’s a lot more of “love your neighbor’ than “kill the infidels”; and the Fruit of the Spirit contrasted with the Deeds of the Flesh. After putting on the Whole Armor of God, Paul wrote we’re to pray.
Sometimes that requires a lot more trust in God than taking up arms and “smiting the heathen” or some such. But don’t worry. The world is full of people willing to burn down their own neighborhoods.
