Yes. I am now in front of the main building of Seoul City Hall.

Many Seoul employees stayed up all night, but today (10th), hearing the news of Mayor Park Won-soon's death at dawn, they were all overwhelmed.

As the mayor of Seoul became vacant, the first vice mayor of Seojeonghyup took over until April 7, next year's by-election.

There was an emergency briefing at 9 o'clock a while ago.

[Seojeonghyup/Seoul Metropolitan Government First Vice Mayor: There is no way to stop the bitter heart. May the souls of the deceased refrain. I'd like to give you a great consolation to the citizens

who may have been in sorrow and confusion with sudden reports.] Some employees came to the briefing site with a memorial ribbon on their tops. I could not conceal myself and shed tears.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government has announced that it will set up an incense burner in the city hall square as of today for ordinary citizens who want to commemorate Mayor Park.

Seoul officials spared no answer to Mayor Park's question regarding the accused.

Mayor Park Won-soon, a former human rights lawyer, was inaugurated as Mayor of Seoul on October 27, 2011, nine years ago.

Afterwards, he won two local elections in succession and served for 3,180 days, the longest period in Seoul's past.

But when I died today, I couldn't fill my remaining two years.
