According to the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul on the 13th, the police are currently investigating Hong's (30) account transaction details to determine if there are any criminal proceeds involved in the source of his funds.


Hong stated during the police investigation that he is unemployed. However, it was revealed that he has been making significant expenditures, such as driving a luxury foreign car worth about 400 million won and living in a monthly rental apartment in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, paying 2 million won per month, raising suspicions about the source of his funds.


However, the Lamborghini vehicle driven by Hong was a leased car, and regarding the monthly rent, he reportedly stated, "My family supported me."


Earlier, on the 11th at around 4:30 p.m., Hong was arrested on charges of special intimidation after threatening the owner of another car with a weapon during a dispute while parking his Lamborghini in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.


At that time, he showed a knife strapped to his waist and said, "Have you ever been stabbed? I have," then fled by car and visited a hospital in Sinsa-dong. It was reported that he underwent sedation anesthesia at the hospital.


The police requested a detailed examination from the National Forensic Service after Hong tested positive for methamphetamine, ecstasy, and ketamine in a rapid drug test.


Meanwhile, the YouTube channel "Caracula Detective Agency" claimed that Hong is an acquaintance of Shin Mo (28), who drove a Rolls-Royce under the influence of drugs near Apgujeong Station and hit a pedestrian. However, Hong told the police that "I do not know Shin."
