[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] The administrator of the online community DC Inside's 'Lee Jae-myung Gallery' went missing after leaving a suicide note immediately following the confirmation of Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party candidate's, election loss, but was found by the police after five hours.

The Siheung Police Station in Gyeonggi announced on the 11th that they found Mr. A (31), the administrator of the 'Lee Jae-myung Gallery,' near Mulwang Reservoir in Mulwang-dong around 3 p.m. on the previous day (the 10th) and handed him over to his family. Mr. A is reported to be in good health, and no signs of an attempted suicide were found at the scene.

Mr. A posted a message titled "Suicide Note" on the 'Lee Jae-myung Gallery' around 10 a.m. the previous day and then turned off his phone, cutting off contact. In the post, he stated, "No matter how hard I try to sleep, I cannot, and no matter how hard I try to shake off the gloom, it does not work," and added, "I have been suffering from all kinds of slander and threats while managing this place."

He continued, "When I was young, I did not understand why Min Yeong-hwan and Jeon Tae-il died, but now I do," and explained, "Because a weak individual human cannot stop a massive flow by ordinary means, I wanted to appeal to people by sacrificing myself as an offering to stop the huge negative flow."

He also wrote content implying an extreme choice, such as "It feels like half of my soul has fallen away," and "Father, mother, I am sorry. I could not keep the promise to go down to the countryside together and live a peaceful rural life."

Previously, the candidate posted three messages through the 'Lee Jae-myung Gallery' from November to December last year, announcing policies targeting men in their 20s and 30s.
