On March 23, Busan Mayor Park Heong-joon stepped before reporters in front of the National Assembly in Yeouido, western Seoul, and defiantly said, “Today, I’m going to shave my head.”

He then sat down, and an aide draped a white haircutting cape around his shoulders and ran a hair clipper over his head.
