According to the prosecution on that day, Choi is accused of posting a murder notice on an internet community on the 26th of last month stating, "I am standing at Sillim Station holding a knife. From now on, I will kill people," which caused about 20 police officers to be dispatched to the scene, thereby obstructing police work.



The prosecution stated, "We will strictly respond to similar crimes that threaten citizens' daily lives, cause waste of police resources, and create security gaps."
