[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] Former Busan Mayor Oh Keo-don, who sexually harassed a subordinate, appeared at the police station 29 days after his resignation.

On the morning of the 22nd, former Mayor Oh appeared privately at the Busan Police Agency to undergo suspect questioning. It has been 29 days since he confessed to the sexual harassment and held a resignation press conference on the 23rd of last month. Former Mayor Oh is accused of calling a female employee of Busan City Hall to his office on the 7th floor and sexually harassing her in early last month.

It is reported that around 8 a.m. that day, he entered the underground parking lot of the Busan Police Agency by car with an associate and took the elevator up. After stepping down from the mayoral position following the press conference, various suspicions arose regarding the timing of his resignation, and he remained silent, leading to a 'disappearance controversy.'

As the sexual harassment case involving former Mayor Oh became a matter of national interest, the police once considered a public summons. However, since former Mayor Oh's side refused the Busan Police Agency press corps' request to make a statement during the police questioning, he was summoned privately.
