Avoiding Military Service with Fake Medical Certificates... 'Parking Dispute' Lamborghini Man's Flashy Criminal Record

Tattooed Soldier Rated Grade 4 Active Duty → Imprisoned for Crime Committed During Probation

Hong Mo (30), who was arrested for threatening a person with a weapon after a dispute while parking his Lamborghini vehicle, is known to have a criminal record including several convictions for special threats and injury in the past.

According to the police on the 15th, Hong was prosecuted in 2017 for threatening a motorcycle rider while driving a Mercedes-Benz on a road in Changwon, Gyeongnam. At the time, he suddenly braked because the motorcycle behind him honked, chased the rider, and verbally abused him with phrases like "I'll run you over with the car. XXX, stop." He also pushed the motorcycle twice as if to collide with it.

He is also accused of getting tattoos to evade military service. After receiving a grade 3 active duty classification in 2012 due to tattoos on both arms and chest, he repeatedly got tattoos on both legs until 2017, when he was reclassified as grade 4 in the military service examination in August of the same year, making him subject to social service duty.

In May 2018, he was tried for special threats and violation of the Military Service Act and was sentenced to one year in prison with two years of probation. At that time, the court considered that Hong had not been completely exempted from military service and that the motorcycle threat was an impulsive crime. However, Hong was sentenced to prison for special injury in April 2019 while still on probation. It was reported that in December 2018, at a club in Busan, he struck the other party’s head with a champagne bottle and assaulted them with his fists because they bumped into him.

When he was 20 years old, Hong was also fined for group assault. In March 2013, at a pub in Busanjin-gu, he was accused of group assault (joint injury) for stepping on a companion’s foot while dancing and was fined 1 million won in September the following year.

Threatened with a weapon saying "Have you ever been stabbed with a knife?"

On the afternoon of the 11th, around 4:30 PM, Hong was arrested on charges of special threats after threatening another car owner with a weapon during a dispute while parking his Lamborghini in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and was detained on the 13th. He was also charged with violating the Road Traffic Act as he was driving without a license.

During the dispute, Hong showed a knife tucked in his waist and said, "Have you ever been stabbed with a knife? I have," then fled in his car and underwent sedation anesthesia at a hospital in Sinsa-dong. The police requested a detailed examination from the National Forensic Service after a preliminary drug test on Hong showed positive results for methamphetamine, ecstasy, and ketamine.

The police are also investigating the source of Hong’s funds. In the investigation, Hong stated he was unemployed, but the Lamborghini he drove is worth about 400 million won, and he is known to be paying 2 million won monthly rent in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. However, the Lamborghini was a leased vehicle, and regarding the rent, he stated that he paid it with family support.
