A former Busan mayoral candidate appeared at a court Wednesday for a hearing on his potential arrest over allegations that he staged an assault on himself in an apparent attempt to woo voters ahead of last month's local elections.
Jeong Yi-han, former candidate of the minor Reform Party, arrived at the Busan District Court after prosecutors filed for a warrant for his arrest last week on charges of obstruction of official duties by fraudulent means and violating the election law.
"I am sorry. I will clearly disclose all the facts in the courtroom," he told reporters when asked whether he admitted to the allegations.
The court is expected to make a decision on his arrest as early as later in the day.
