The former mayor of Seoul committed suicide. Why did he do it?

On July 9, 2020, Seoul Mayor Park Won soon suddenly lost contact, and his daughter called the police for help that afternoon. Later, the police located her by mobile phone and found that she finally appeared near the Jixiang Temple in Beiyue Mountain. Finally, the police found Park Won soon's body in a hanging position near Sujingmen the next morning. Later, when Seoul was sorting out park geun-hye's relics at the mayor's residence, it found a suicide note, which was published with the consent of his family. Park geun-hye apologized to everyone in his suicide note and thanked all those who accompanied him. He felt sorry for the pain his death brought to his family, and hoped to scatter the ashes to his parents' cemetery. The funeral was simple and no gifts were accepted.

Park Won soon's death is directly related to his former secretary reporting his sexual harassment. He may feel guilty and commit suicide. It is reported that Park Won soon's secretary A doesn't work in the Seoul Mayor's office. Four years ago, the municipal government contacted her, hoping that she could participate in the selection interview. Later, she passed the interview and became Park's secretary. During this period, she was sexually harassed by Park for four years. A is often called into the bedroom of the park. Park geun-hye hugged and kissed him and sent him some indecent photos and frivolous words. At the beginning of this year, A chose to transfer, but was soon harassed by Park Won soon. Under mental pressure, she had to seek the help of feminist groups. Later, she got up the courage to call the police on the afternoon of July 8.

Park Won soon had no choice. Why did he choose to commit suicide?

Park is not without considering other countermeasures. He got the news through Lin Shunying, assistant of gender affairs in Seoul, and then A called the police on the afternoon of the 8th. At 9 pm, after the district head meeting in Seoul, Park discussed the matter with Lin Shunying and two other cronies, during which he considered resigning or other public relations plans. But obviously, Park Won soon soon thought that these public relations schemes were not feasible, which was not enough to dispel his worries, and he could not let go.

Park Won soon himself is a character with his own aura. He had participated in the pro-democracy movement before, was a lawyer and had a happy family. Park Won soon himself has strong ruling ability, high popularity and is supported by the people. As a progressive politician, he once supported the feminist movement #ME TOO and opposed sexual harassment. In fact, however, Park seems to be benevolent and moral, but he is doing nasty things behind his back. After this scandal is discovered, the huge contrast will subvert people's three views. Not only will I be humiliated and imprisoned, but the incident will also affect the entire progressive political forces.

South Korea is deeply influenced by Confucianism, paying attention to courtesy, honesty, shame, loyalty, filial piety and chastity, and it is understandable to die before the incident. Former President Roh Moo-hyun was also investigated for being involved in the corruption case of his wife and cronies, and finally he was forced to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff. Korean progressive politicians are all born in poverty, high-spirited and thin-skinned. In contrast, rich and powerful conservatives are not like this. They have long been immersed in privilege and cherish their lives, so even if the scandal is exposed, they will not commit suicide, and even when they are sued, they will feel a little guilty. The four conservative presidents who were convicted and sentenced are all fine.
