SEOUL, Korea, Republic Of — The mayor of South Korean capital Seoul has been reported missing and search operations are underway on Thursday, police said.
Police officers said they are looking for Mayor Park Won-sun at Seoul’s Sungbuk neighbourhood where his mobile phone signal was last detected.
His daughter called police earlier Thursday and said her father has been unaccounted for, the police officers said, requesting anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media on the matter.
Kim Ji-hyeong, an official from the Seoul Metropolitan Government, confirmed that Park did not show up for work on Thursday because of unspecified reasons and cancelled all his schedules, including a meeting with a presidential official at his Seoul City Hall office.
