Park Hee-young, Mayor of Yongsan District, who was detained for about five months due to the Itaewon tragedy and was released on bail on the 7th, went to work on the 8th but faced public criticism, and subsequently took annual leave and sick leave.


It is known that Mayor Park took annual leave on the 9th and sick leave on the 12th, not going to work.


This is interpreted as Mayor Park feeling burdened after going to work the day after being released on bail.


Accordingly, it is expected that he will rest for the time being and not go to work.


A district office official said, "It seems that Mayor Park went to work on the 8th, the day after his release on bail, because if he had not gone to work, there would have been further criticism."


This is interpreted to mean that Mayor Park is bound to face criticism no matter what the situation is at this time.



However, since Mayor Park was released on bail and is likely physically and mentally exhausted, it is expected that he will need to rest for a while and observe the situation.
