[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] The police have obtained and executed arrest warrants for the cast members of the YouTube channel 'Garosero Research Institute (Gaseyeon)'.

According to the police on the 7th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul visited the homes of three Gaseyeon cast members?lawyer Kang Yong-seok, former MBC reporter Kim Se-ui, and YouTuber Kim Yong-ho?to execute the arrest warrants and successfully apprehended all of them.

YouTuber Kim was arrested in front of his home that morning, but lawyer Kang and former reporter Kim initially resisted the execution of the arrest warrants and confronted the police starting with Oh Jun. The police forcibly opened their doors and arrested former reporter Kim at around 7:46 p.m. and lawyer Kang at around 7:59 p.m.

The Gaseyeon cast members are reportedly facing more than ten lawsuits on charges including defamation and insult. The police had requested their appearances for investigation more than ten times, but after their noncompliance, they obtained and executed the arrest warrants. Former reporter Kim questioned through the Gaseyeon YouTube channel's bulletin board, "Whose defamation case was this anyway? It was a defamation case concerning 'Cho Kuk's daughter' and 'Lee In-young's son,'" and asked, "Is this a matter that justifies breaking into my house and arresting me?" Gaseyeon also live-streamed the confrontation with the police and the arrests on YouTube that day.

A police official stated, "We plan to proceed with the investigation according to procedures such as questioning the suspects."
