Seoul buries mayor despite outcry over unanswered sex abuse allegations

A mortuary tablet and portrait of late Seoul mayor Park Won-soon are carried during a funeral ceremony outside Seoul City Hall today. – EPA pic, July 13, 2020.

He was found dead on a mountain on Friday, a day after his former secretary filed a police complaint against him, widely reported to involve sexual harassment. But an online petition on the presidential website opposing the ceremony garnered more than 500,000 signatures. Around 100 people attended the service – where numbers were limited because of the coronavirus pandemic – today, the final day of the funeral. Afterwards, Park’s body was to be cremated and taken to his hometown in South Gyeongsang province.
