Several very powerful and influential people in the Park administration were listed as taking bribes from businessmen (with the exact amounts) in a note found in the pocket of a former Chairman who committed suicide a day after being gound guilty of bribery himself.

Corruption in Korea seems to know no limits..

Not that other countries are any better, but this is pretty typical around here. Bribery? Check. Suicide? Check. Outright denial of any wrongdoing from multiple parties? Check. This whole thing will quietly disappear in a few days regardless (or perhaps because) of the half dozen or more key officials who had the finger pointed at them.
