On the 8th, the Suseo Police Station in Seoul announced that Hwang was arrested on charges of instructing robbery and murder. The police issued an arrest warrant at 8:18 a.m. that day and detained Hwang.

Hwang is suspected of conspiring with her husband Yoo to instruct Lee Kyung-woo (36) to commit robbery and murder against a woman in her 40s, identified as A. The police are reportedly investigating based on Lee Kyung-woo’s confession. After being apprehended on the 31st of last month, Lee Kyung-woo denied all charges of robbery and murder.

The couple Yoo and Hwang had previously invested in the cryptocurrency 'Purever' together with A, but their relationship deteriorated due to a sharp drop in its market price.
