Park Won-soon, mayor of Seoul, goes missing after assault allegation - The Guardian

Police in Seoul say they have found the body of the city’s mayor, who was long seen as a potential South Korean presidential candidate, after he was reported missing by his daughter.

Park Won-soon, 64, was found on a mountain in northern Seoul, police said, hours after hundreds of officers started searching for him.

A police complaint – allegedly involving sexual assault – was filed against Park by a former Seoul city employee on Wednesday and local media said a television channel had been due to broadcast a programme on the previously unreported case on Thursday evening
