Updated: 2013-10-15-17:52
A stressed office worker set fire to the motel where he was staying in Wanju, North Jeolla Province, police said Tuesday.
On Thursday last week, at about 1:40 a.m., the man, surnamed Kim, 29, allegedly made a small stack of matches, and lit them.
Police estimate the fire caused about 2 million won damage, before Kim put it out himself.
Police said Kim told them he had been under a lot of stress, and was depressed after being caught driving under the influence.
“His motive was personal, and its lucky he didn’t hurt anyone,” a police official said.
Police booked Kim without detention.
