On the 20th, the Suseo Police Station in Seoul sent Hong to the prosecution on charges of special intimidation and special trespassing.

Hong is accused of leaving a weapon and an ignition torch in front of the entrance door of the minister's apartment in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at around 3 a.m. on the 11th.

During the police investigation, Hong stated, "I wanted to visit the house of someone I remember among the powerful people who have been tormenting me for over two years and express my feelings."

Hong learned the address of Minister Han's house through an internet search and is reported to have never been affiliated with any political party. It is also known that he worked in day labor and logistics centers but is currently unemployed.

When Hong appeared in court for a warrant hearing on the 16th and was asked, "Do you have anything you want to say?" he replied, "My current appearance is the future image of Minister Han Dong-hoon."
