Future United Party Nomination Canceled Kim Won-sung Supreme Council Member Writes Suicide Note and Disappears

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Kim Won-seong, a Supreme Council member whose nomination by the United Future Party was canceled, is reported to have left a message implying an extreme choice and has gone missing.

According to Yonhap News on the 20th, Kim left his home in Hwamyung-dong, Buk-gu, Busan, around 3:35 a.m. that day and his whereabouts have since been unknown, prompting the police to begin a search.

Kim's wife found a handwritten note at home and reported it to the police, and Kim's mobile phone is turned off. The police have deployed the missing persons team and patrol units to conduct a search.

The handwritten note reportedly states, "I believe this is the only way to be a father who is not ashamed to our children, so I left home and hope for forgiveness. I feel truly pathetic and foolish for trying to convince you that politics is about dreaming of happiness together."

It also reportedly includes, "I don't know what this MeToo thing is about, and I never had a chance to explain, so I hope you believe me. I hope those around me can help clear my grievances. Please do not look for me, proceed with the press conference as planned, and I hope the MeToo accuser and the involved parties are revealed."

The day before, the United Future Party canceled Kim's nomination and gave priority recommendation (strategic nomination) to Representative Kim Do-eup.
