The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Narcotics Crime Investigation Unit sent Gil, who is suspected of violating the Narcotics Control Act, and Kim, who is suspected of violating the Telecommunications Business Act, to the prosecution at around 8:30 a.m. on the 17th.

When Gil was sent to the prosecution, he answered "yes" to reporters' questions asking if he did not know the Chinese superiors. He also nodded when asked if he had received instructions from a Korean national named Lee in China.

Gil was arrested on the 7th on charges of sending drug beverages he manufactured at his home in Wonju, Gangwon Province, to four part-time workers in Seoul using express buses and quick delivery services. It was investigated that he purchased methamphetamine using the so-called 'throwing method,' where drugs are left at designated locations, and then mixed it with milk to make the drug beverage.

Kim is suspected of installing and operating a relay device that changed the Chinese-origin phone numbers used for threatening calls into domestic mobile phone numbers.

Meanwhile, the police are conducting an investigation into the superiors behind the drug beverage case. The police have identified the masterminds, including Lee, a Korean national who instructed Gil to commit the crime; Park, a Chinese national who participated in delivering empty bottles; and Lee, a Chinese national who ordered Gil to deliver methamphetamine using the so-called 'throwing method.' On the 14th, the police applied for Interpol red notices for these three individuals.
