[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] Recently, a man who caused a disturbance and even threatened the police because his clothes did not dry properly at an unmanned laundromat visited the same laundromat again and committed retaliatory vandalism by throwing a fire extinguisher.

According to media reports, the police announced that they have applied for an arrest warrant on charges including property damage against Mr. A, who damaged the glass windows of a coin-operated laundromat in Seoul.

At around 4 a.m. on the 22nd, Mr. A, dissatisfied with the laundromat owner, threw a fire extinguisher and shattered the store’s glass window. The glass window of the laundromat where Mr. A threw the fire extinguisher was completely broken, and glass shards were scattered all over the inside of the store.

Afterward, Mr. A called the laundromat owner and shouted, "I'm the one who broke this place. Do you remember me? If you come and apologize, I will let it go, but if you don't apologize, I will sue you."

Earlier, in the early morning of the 17th, Mr. A had also caused a disturbance at the same laundromat by breaking the washing machine with a chair and was investigated by the police. The reason for the disturbance was that the laundry did not dry completely even after inserting 500 won into the dryer.

At that time, Mr. A also called the laundromat owner and threatened, protesting with phrases like "If you don't dry my clothes, I will break everything" and "I will kill you."

When the police arrived, Mr. A continued his rampage by violently hitting the police car with a chair. He only stopped after being hit with a police taser. The police booked Mr. A without detention. Mr. A was released on the same day after the police investigation, but it was revealed that he held a grudge and returned to the laundromat five days later to cause another disturbance.
