Despite passersby and apartment residents witnessing the assault, they continued the attack without concern. Afterwards, Mr. B was dragged toward a van by the men. They took Mr. B’s bag and belongings and attempted to kidnap him, but fled the scene when Mr. B resisted.

The group of Chinese nationals involved in the assault were confirmed to be tourists who came to Jeju to gamble at a casino. According to the police investigation, they stated, "Mr. B owed about 100 million won in debt at the casino and committed the crime because he did not repay it." Mr. B is also Chinese, and it is known that they first met at a large casino in downtown Jeju.

Meanwhile, the police are expanding their investigation, believing there may be more accomplices beyond the eight Chinese nationals.
