[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] Kang Jin-gu, co-representative of the citizen media outlet The Tam-sa (hereinafter The Tam-sa), who was accused of unlawfully trespassing on the residence of Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon, will appear at the police station on the 14th.


Kang is scheduled to appear at 2 p.m. at the Anti-Corruption and Public Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency as a suspect for questioning.


Kang and The Tam-sa's reporting team visited the front door of Minister Han’s residence through the shared entrance of the apartment in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on the 27th of last month. Minister Han subsequently filed a complaint against them for trespassing and other charges.


The police, having initiated an investigation, conducted a search and seizure on the 7th of this month at The Tam-sa’s office located in Byeollae-dong, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, as well as at Kang’s residence in Anyang-si.
