Seok Rakhee, President of Seoul Metro Environment, "Only tears flow endlessly..."

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seok Rak-hee, CEO of Seoul Metro Environment, expressed condolences on the sudden death of Mayor Park Won-soon, saying, "I stayed up all night holding onto a fragile hope, but a devastating reality unfolded before my eyes, and tears flowed endlessly," praying for the deceased's soul.

CEO Seok conveyed this on the morning of the 10th through his Facebook.

CEO Seok and Mayor Park shared a deep connection. Before Park became the mayor of Seoul through a by-election in 2010, they climbed Baekdudaegan together with "Bearded Park Won-soon."

After Mayor Park's inauguration, CEO Seok joined as a Seoul city citizen auditor and worked alongside Mayor Park before being appointed as the CEO of Seoul Metro Environment, a subsidiary of Seoul Transportation Corporation.

In particular, CEO Seok, a marathon runner, maintained a close relationship with Mayor Park, running together at Namsan.

CEO Seok lamented, "As humans, did you have no older brother, friend, younger sibling, or comrade to share the inevitable anguish with? Why did you leave alone like that?"

He continued, "You were a fool, Mr. Won-soon, who spent your entire life diligently wiping away the tears and sweat of the weak but could not even properly take care of your own small body and left us. Now, rest in peace," expressing his feelings as he bid farewell to Mayor Park.
