Reporter A's Blue House accreditation has been revoked, and the media outlet is also restricted from dispatching reporters for one year. The Blue House press corps made this decision in consultation with the Chunghwagwan.

The assault controversy involving A initially spread through a post on the Blue House petition site. The petitioner, who identified himself as the victim's son, claimed that his father became disabled due to the assault and demanded punishment for A. A's family posted a statement refuting the facts of the assault controversy.

A was indicted without detention for this incident, and the trial is currently ongoing.
