A man has been arrested on charges of exposing himself in a Seoul park, police said Friday.

The 40-year-old suspect, only identified by his surname Cheong, is accused of lewd conduct and walking around naked at the park in Hongje-dong in western Seoul on May 30, according to the Seoul’s Seodaemun Police Station.

Cheong was previously convicted five times for sexually assaulting minors, it said.

The suspect also allegedly interfered with the work of police during an investigation such as by cursing at police investigators, it added.

In a separate account, officers said they have booked an American university student without physical detention on charges of running naked on the streets in western Seoul’s Sinchon area on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old suspect, who came to the country as an exchange student, allegedly was intoxicated at the time of the incident, they said. (Yonhap News)
