Following the discovery of Yoo Byung Un's death, Yoo Byung Un's eldest son Yoo Dae Gyun has been arrested.
Police found him hiding out at an officetel earlier today with Park Soo Kyung (pictured below), the daughter of Shin Myung Hee. Shin Myung Hee is Yoo Byung Un's female confidante and one of the leaders of his Evangelical Baptist Church, or the Salvation Sect.
Park Soo Kyung was taken into custody for helping Yoo Dae Gyun flee from the police since the Sewol ferry incident. Her mother has already given herself up to the police and has been in their custody ever since the announcement of Yoo Byung Un's death.
Yoo Dae Gyun has been wanted for arrest, along with his father and two siblings Yoo Hyuk Kee and Yoo Seom Na, for owning the operator of the Sewol Ferry through shady cross-funding. He was found at an officetel along with Park Soo Kyung with $15 million won ($15,000 USD) in cash and a computer. The two decided not to bring their cell phones with them in case they could be traced. After being discovered, they refused to open the door for the police for an hour, until the police threatened to force their way in.
The Yoo family is currently being investigated for more business corruption and irregularities. Furthermore, the police are still searching for Yoo Byung Un's other two children as well as his chauffeur Yang Hoi Jeong, who can hopefully clear up how his employer died. Considering their recent loss, the prosecutor has stated that if the family members and their aides turn themselves in by the end of the month, they will only be questioned without being detained.
