On the afternoon of the 13th, the Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency held a 'Personal Information Disclosure Review Committee' and decided to disclose Moon Hyeong-uk's name, age, and face. The committee consisted of seven internal and external members, including police officers, legal professionals, and university professors.

The committee stated, "The crime method is malicious and repetitive, producing and distributing sexually exploitative videos by referring to unspecified numerous women as slaves, with 10 child and adolescent victims, making the crime serious," and added, "An arrest warrant has been issued, and sufficient personal and material evidence has been secured," explaining the reason for disclosure.

The current Sexual Violence Punishment Act stipulates that personal information can be disclosed when there is sufficient evidence to believe the suspect committed the crime, and when it is necessary for the public interest such as guaranteeing the public's right to know, preventing recidivism of the suspect, and crime prevention.
