Local media has previously accused the ambassador of sexually molesting female embassy staff members and misconduct while drinking with young South Korean female volunteer workers in the African country. Later, the ministry dispatched a special investigation team to Ethiopia, which conducted a 10-day probe from July 21-30. Upon the ministry decision, the ambassador reportedly plans to return to South Korea in the near future. He was also referred to the prosecution for a criminal investigation. According to the result of a ministry investigation, he took the woman to his home at night on July 8 and raped her while she was excessively inebriated.
