[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] Yuhan-gi, former head of the Development Project Headquarters at Seongnam Urban Development Corporation (66, currently president of Pocheon Urban Corporation), who had an arrest warrant issued in connection with the 'Daejang-dong scandal,' was found dead on the 10th.

According to the police, at around 7:40 a.m. that day, a resident discovered Yuhan-gi deceased in a flower bed in an apartment complex in Ilsan-seo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province, and reported it. The location where he was found was near Yuhan-gi's residence.

Earlier, the police had received a report from his family around 4 a.m. that day stating that Yuhan-gi had left a suicide note and gone missing, and had been conducting a search.

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 Nam Wook, lawyer and owner of Cheonhwa-dongin No. 4, and Jung Young-hak, accountant and owner of Cheonhwa-dongin No. 5, affiliated companies of Hwacheon Daeyu, in August 2014.

Yuhan-gi's pre-arrest detention hearing was scheduled for the 14th at the Seoul Central District Court. He had consistently denied the related allegations.
