A special counsel team is inspecting about 2.47 million ballots stored at the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium in southern Seoul as part of a probe into a shortage of ballot papers during the June 3 local elections, KBS World reports. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said 48 riot police units will be deployed to maintain order during the inspection, according to the Korea Times. The special counsel team also searched the handball arena on Tuesday as part of the investigation, the Korea Times adds. Korean media are covering this as a high-stakes procedural step, with the inspection scheduled for Wednesday, though public reaction from blogs or cafés is not detailed in the supplied documents.
