In particular, President Yoon instructed the Prime Minister to "prepare fundamental measures against random crimes, including strengthening public security capabilities," in response to the recent series of heinous crimes.

This directive is interpreted as a response to the continuous occurrence of brutal crimes such as the stabbing rampage at Seohyeon Station and the sexual assault and murder case on the Sillim-dong hiking trail. Earlier this month, during the stabbing rampage terror incident at Seohyeon Station in Bundang, Gyeonggi Province, President Yoon also ordered the government to mobilize all police forces for a strong response. Even while on vacation, President Yoon emphasized, "The stabbing rampage is a terror attack against innocent citizens," and added, "Since threatening messages have also been posted on social media, the government should respond by deploying security personnel for preventive measures and carrying effective and powerful suppression equipment."
