To summarize:
An official in charge of devising measures against cryptocurrency speculation was found dead in Seoul this Sunday. The likely cause of death is heart attack according to media reports. Additionally, police are already investigating the cause of death of the officer attached to Office for Government Policy Coordination. He was in his 50s. Colleagues say he was under stress since taking office late last year.
South Korea is already into charge of regulating cryprocurrencies since November last year. The crypto regulations are now in place since mid January this year. To start with, the government formed a group of vice minsters led by minister of the Office for Government Policy Coordination Hong Nam-ki in November.
Will post an update if there comes anything of the regulation. I highly doubt there is any foul play involved, but we still won't know for sure until the autopsy reports are published.

Maybe it was due to stress, espicialy cryptocurrency in every country needed a lot of attention espicialy about regulation and policies, implementation of the law over it, and a lot of time for the work, and since the man is in his old age, I thinks his heart did not contain all the pressure of the work.
