On the afternoon of the 27th, Lee Min-su, the chief judge in charge of warrants at the Seoul Central District Court, held a pre-arrest detention hearing for the man in his 20s, Lee Mo, who was charged with intimidation, and issued an arrest warrant citing "risk of flight."

According to the police, Lee is suspected of posting a message on an online community around 2 p.m. on the 24th stating, "I will kill 20 Korean women at Sillim Station."

Lee also attached a photo capturing the purchase details of a weapon over 30 cm in length. It is known that Lee purchased the weapon but later canceled the order. The post has since been deleted.

As the police investigation closed in, Lee surrendered himself by calling 112 at 11:56 p.m. on the 24th. The police urgently arrested Lee at 1:44 a.m. on the 25th.
