[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] The police are attempting a search and seizure on the 7th regarding the incident in which the YouTube media outlet ‘Simin Eonlon The Tam-sa’ reporters went to the front of Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon’s residence without his consent.

The Anti-Corruption and Public Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency sent investigators from the morning to The Tam-sa office located in Byeollae-dong, Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, on charges including trespassing in a shared residence, presenting them with a search warrant for video production-related materials.

However, The Tam-sa stated, “We have sincerely complied with search and seizure so far, but we can no longer comply with the regime’s search and seizure that recklessly infringes on press freedom,” and are refusing the search and seizure. It is known that this is the sixth search and seizure against them since August, including cases related to accusations involving President Yoon Seok-yeol.

The Tam-sa reporters are accused of going up to the door of Minister Han’s residence without his consent or permission. On the 27th of last month, they visited an apartment in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, entered through the shared entrance, took the elevator to Minister Han’s floor, and said, “Is Minister Han here?” and “We are from The Tam-sa for reporting.” They then looked at a delivery package placed in front of Minister Han’s residence and left the scene when there was no sign of anyone. It is known that Minister Han’s wife and children were at home at the time.

In response, Minister Han’s side filed a complaint with the police on the same afternoon, accusing them of trespassing in a shared residence and retaliatory crimes. The police announced on the 6th that the case had been assigned to the Anti-Corruption and Public Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
