[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] The decision on whether to detain the YouTuber who damaged the escort vehicle carrying child sex offender Jo Doo-soon (68) is expected to be made as early as this week.


The Ansan Danwon Police Station in Gyeonggi announced on the 20th that the pre-arrest detention hearing (warrant substantive examination) for YouTuber A, who has been issued a pre-arrest warrant on charges of obstruction of official duties and damage to public property, is scheduled to be held as early as this week.


A is accused of climbing onto the roof of the escort vehicle carrying Jo Doo-soon and kicking the vehicle with his foot in front of the Ansan Probation Center of the Ministry of Justice in Ansan City on the 12th.


The court will soon set the date for A's hearing. However, according to criminal procedure, if A requests a change of the hearing date, the schedule may be slightly delayed.



The police are also investigating two other YouTubers, including a martial artist who threatened to take private revenge on Jo Doo-soon, on the same charges.
