A man who feigned food poisoning to dodge restaurant bills was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of blackmail.
Busan Saha Police said Park, 47, had eaten without paying at 12 restaurants using similar tricks.
In the latest occasion, Park ordered a 40,000 won ($35) worth of food at a restaurant in Saha-gu, Busan, at around 8 p.m. on July 13.
After finishing the food, Park refused to pay, claiming the dishes he had were not delicious.
