  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that police are currently searching Yeouido Hangang Park in southern Seoul following a bomb threat posted online. The threat, which was received by the Seoul Seongbuk Police Station around 2:25 a.m. on Sunday, claimed that an explosive device had been planted in the area and threatened harm to park-goers unless 10 million won ($7,103) was paid through wire transfer. Police have dispatched special units to the park to conduct a thorough search, while also working to identify the author of the threatening message. Summer festival events are currently being held at nine different parks along the river, adding urgency to the situation.",
