According to the police on the 8th, the Jungnang Police Station in Seoul is investigating Kim on charges of fraud. The police began the investigation after recognizing circumstances in early June where Kim did not return approximately 300 million won of the jeonse deposit for a villa in Sangdo-dong, Dongjak-gu, registered under his name, to the tenant.

The Geumcheon Police Station in Seoul received a complaint against Kim on the previous day on charges including fraud. The complainant, a tenant, reportedly filed the complaint because despite the end of the jeonse contract for a multi-family house located in Geumcheon-gu, Seoul, they had not received about 250 million won of the deposit and had registered Kim as the landlord. According to the police, the complainant stated, "The lease contract expired in early November, but I have not received the deposit and cannot contact the landlord," when filing the complaint.

Kim was detained on charges of special robbery and was held at Seoul Detention Center. However, on the morning of the 4th, at 6:20 a.m., while receiving hospital treatment, he changed clothes and fled. He was apprehended on the evening of the 6th, the third day after his escape, at 9:25 p.m. in Ganeung-dong, Uijeongbu City.
