[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Former National Intelligence Service Director Park Ji-won said on the 17th that he had an accident while walking and "had a series of bad luck."

Park posted on his Facebook that "this morning, while walking down the Ansan Jarak-gil trail in Seodaemun, Seoul, I slipped on a manhole cover," and "I immediately went to the hospital, and after examination, I was diagnosed with two broken bones in my ankle that require surgery."

He added, "If surgery is performed within a few days, about one and a half months of treatment will be necessary," and "I can participate in radio broadcasts via phone connection, but I have no choice but to cancel TV appearances."

Former Director Park was reported by the NIS in connection with the 'West Sea Public Official Killing Incident' and the 'Forced Repatriation of North Korean Fishermen Incident,' and recently was subject to a travel ban by the prosecution.
