S Korean man found hanged at Japanese consulate in Busan

More than 2 weeks ??? How do you not find a hanged man in a consulate for that long ??

Bizarre!

It was a warehouse, maybe too secluded, I guess he didn't want to be found until it was over. But why the consulate, maybe some strange kind of protest.

Speaks a lot about the security at the Japanese consulate in Busan.

I wonder if this lack of security is the fault of the Japanese government or the Korean government

What a mystery ahead of the games

Probably just another guy trying to go out as a "martyr" like the one who burned himself in front of the Japanese Embassy years back. Expect a note to be found.

Depending on what was in the warehouse, it may not have been checked for a long time. People enter warehouses to stock or remove supplies.

Now it's a "Scare-house"

Eaglezz:

I believe Japan is tasked with ensuring security within the consulate (US uses marines, but unsure if they use SDF, police, or different security). Outside the consulate, south Korea is responsible, but host countries usually only send police when protests or strange disturbances near.

Ok there, Cryptkeeper!

Pretty crappy security, warehouse or not. If the guy was seen going in (on camera) at the time and it was not followed up on, that's negligence. If it was simply not seen, not much point in having cameras.

Seriously, if the guy had been a terrorist or just an angry guy who wanted to commit a crime, he wouldn't have been noticed and no one alerted. Again, the idea that "It was a warehouse and therefore we didn't notice" is beside the point -- he could quite easily enter the Consulate grounds, and probably could have done worse. Not sure if it was Korea or Japan or both who dropped the ball here, but time to security to do a little better.

As it is a Japanese consulate the security inside is Japan's responsibility, as the external security by most host nations is limited to response as JuminRhee said, then it is incumbent on the internal security to keep a watchful eye on the perimeter, which obviously didn't happen here. Sound of ball hitting floor!
