Hyun Ki-hwan, a former top political advisor to President Park Geun-hye, was hospitalized late Wednesday following an apparent suicide attempt, medical workers said, adding that he is not in critical condition.

The 57-year-old Hyun sought to slit his wrist at a hotel in his hometown of Busan at around 6:30 p.m. His injuries are not “life-threatening” and he is receiving treatment at a nearby hospital, according to local rescue workers.

The incident came as the prosecution continues to carry out an investigation into the former lawmaker over his alleged involvement in a corruption case surrounding a skyscraper construction project in the port city.
