Most, a professor at Liberty University in the U.S. who is accused of defaming President Lee Jae-myung, did not appear for scheduled police questioning today (June 24).

Professor Most was scheduled to appear at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency at 10:00 a.m. on charges of making false statements, including claims during a press conference in the U.S. last year that President Lee was incarcerated in a juvenile detention center during his youth.

Professor Most's side had initially expressed a desire to avoid media exposure. However, after reporters and civic groups gathered at the scene, they announced that they would reschedule the date of appearance.
