[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Yuhan-gi, former head of the Development Project Headquarters at Seongnam Urban Development Corporation (66, currently president of Pocheon Urban Corporation), who was involved in the 'Daejang-dong scandal,' reportedly left a suicide note and went missing on the 10th.

According to the police, a missing person report was filed by Yuhan-gi's family, who reside in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, around 4 a.m. that day. It is known that Yuhan-gi left a suicide note.

The police captured footage of Yuhan-gi leaving an apartment complex around 2 a.m. that day and have deployed personnel to conduct a search. It is reported that tracking his location is difficult as he did not take his mobile phone with him.

The prosecution, investigating the lobbying and preferential treatment allegations related to the Daejang-dong development, filed an arrest warrant for Yuhan-gi the day before. Yuhan-gi is accused of receiving 200 million won in bribes under the pretext of lobbying from lawyer Nam Wook, owner of Cheonhwa-dongin No. 4, and accountant Jung Young-hak, owner of Cheonhwa-dongin No. 5, affiliated with Hwacheon Daeyu in August 2014.

Yuhan-gi has consistently denied the allegations. The pre-arrest suspect interrogation (warrant hearing) for Yuhan-gi is scheduled for the 14th at the Seoul Central District Court.
