United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon held his last press conference Friday in New York, in which he avoided answering if he would run for the President of South Korea.

Ban Ki-moon said he will return to South Korea and consider how best to help his country after his UN term expires at the end of this year. Ban described the political scandal involving Park Geun-hye and Choi Soon-sil as one of biggest crises South Koreans have encountered. He said he would speak to friends and advisors before making a final decision to run.
