On the 26th, the Jungbu Police Station in Seoul announced that they had received a report of a lost mobile phone from Minister Han's side the previous day.


Minister Han was attending the 73rd anniversary ceremony of the 6.25 War held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Jung-gu, Seoul, the day before. It is known that he reported to the police after noticing his mobile phone was missing during the ceremony.


The police, unable to find the phone at the scene, deployed detectives to search for the phone on suspicion of embezzlement of lost property. Later, through analysis of closed-circuit television (CCTV), it was confirmed that Mr. A, who attended the event, had taken Minister Han's mobile phone.



However, Mr. A went to a different police station to report the lost item. The police stated that they found no evidence of other crimes such as theft. After returning the mobile phone to Minister Han, the police closed the case.
