The Gangseo Police Station in Seoul announced on the 10th that they have booked and are investigating a man in his 20s, identified as Mr. A, on charges of trespassing.


Mr. A is suspected of entering an officetel in Yeomchang-dong, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, in the early morning of the 6th and wandering through several floors while pressing his ear against apartment doors to eavesdrop on sounds.


The officetel is a 15-story building where access through the first-floor entrance requires a card. It is known that Mr. A does not reside in the officetel.


According to the police investigation, files suspected to be illegal recordings and illegal videos were found on Mr. A’s mobile phone.



The police have requested digital forensics (scientific evidence analysis techniques) on Mr. A’s phone to verify whether he is involved in additional crimes such as illegal filming.
