[Asia Economy Video Team PD Seungmok Han] Citizens demanded an apology from the Seocho Police Station Chief, claiming the police investigation into the death of the late Son Jung-min was inadequate.


'People Seeking the Truth of the Banpo Hangang Incident' (hereafter BanJinSa) held a press conference at 11 a.m. on the 25th in front of the Seoul Seocho Police Station.





On this day, they said, "The majority of the public expected the truth of the incident to be revealed through a thorough investigation and inquiry by the police. However, the police investigation is proceeding passively, betraying the public’s expectations. We ask for your attention to this case so that no suspicion remains regarding the deceased’s death."


They also stated, "The truth of that day is known by CCTV and YouTubers. Stop hiding, covering up, and concealing it any longer. Investigate thoroughly and transparently as if it were your own child, without a single doubt." They added, "The failure of the investigation into the deceased has made it difficult to ascertain the truth and has caused additional pain to the bereaved family. We strongly condemn the fact that (friend A) is still being investigated as a witness."


Finally, they held a silent memorial ceremony mourning Son’s death.



Meanwhile, the BanJinSa press conference was held for 40 minutes under the control of dozens of police officers without any significant clashes.
