"Threatened by a Person Presumed to Be an Acquaintance of the Perpetrator"

"If I die, it will be a clear homicide."


The YouTuber Karakula Detective Agency, investigating the perpetrator who drove a Rolls-Royce SUV onto the sidewalk and seriously injured a woman in her 20s, posted on their YouTube channel community on the 7th, stating, "There is absolutely no chance that I will suddenly die from a heart attack, myocardial infarction, traffic accident, accidental fall, or suicide," and added, "If such an event occurs, it will clearly be a homicide."

He emphasized, "I am generally healthy without any chronic illnesses, and a health checkup two weeks ago showed no issues except for a slight fatty liver. I am not currently taking any medication. I have no financial debts with others, and there is no discord within my family or relatives," adding, "There is absolutely no reason for me to be pessimistic about my personal safety."


He continued, "I have no issues with depression or mental health. I strictly follow traffic laws and speed limits. I also practice defensive driving and, just in case, installed a 4-channel black box inside the vehicle."


He added, "GPS chips are attached to my watch and belt so that my family and company employees can always check my location, so there is no chance of me going missing."


The reason he publicly disclosed his personal situation is that he feels threatened by a person presumed to be the perpetrator.


He previously explained, "I was notified of a DDoS attack from someone presumed to be an acquaintance of the perpetrator. In fact, there was an attempt of excessive overseas traffic access to a specific video early yesterday morning."


He added, "My social networking service (SNS) has been flooded with abusive comments from ghost accounts, including threats involving my family. This morning, through an acquaintance, there was even an attempt to persuade me by offering to send cash in 50,000 won bills if I disclose a realistic amount and stop here," he claimed.


He then revealed messages received from the perpetrator’s acquaintance. The acquaintance warned, "If you do not take down the personal information, we will attack your YouTube channel with traffic from Russia, China, and India," and added, "If you cause pain to my precious people, Karakula, you will suffer the same."

Earlier, on the 2nd, a man in his 20s, Mr. A, driving a Rolls-Royce, drove onto the sidewalk near Apgujeong Station in Gangnam-gu and seriously injured a woman in her 20s.


The victim suffered fractures in both legs and serious injuries to her head and abdomen. In the worst case, it is reported that she may have to have her legs amputated even after surgery.


At the time, Mr. A tested positive for ketamine in a rapid drug test. Ketamine is used as a general anesthetic but also has pain relief and hallucinogenic effects, and is known as a "club drug."


Mr. A was detained on charges including violation of the Special Act on Traffic Accident Processing but was released around 3 p.m. on the 3rd, 17 hours later.

In response, Karakula stated, "The perpetrator with full-body tattoos who not only ran over a woman in her 20s but also caused a disturbance to the responding police officers is Shin XX, born in 1995," and claimed that Mr. Shin appeared on a pilot program of a broadcasting company in 2013.


At that time, Mr. Shin confessed to school violence, saying, "I was expelled from school twice," "I buried other students in the ground," and "I bullied many friends when I was young."


Karakula further claimed, "Mr. Shin organized an emerging criminal group called 'MT5' in Gangnam, created a virtual currency overseas exchange, and enabled drug dealers to use it as a payment method through Telegram."



He also stated, "Mr. Shin and his gang spent tens of millions of won weekly at clubs and spent hundreds of millions on hiring lawyers at major law firms, wielding tremendous power with 'money' as their weapon."
