According to the Seodaemun Police Station in Seoul on the 30th, the police received a report at 11:38 PM the previous day stating, "An internet post claimed that a bomb was sent to Yonsei University."


About 50 personnel, including the police special forces and firefighters, searched the area around four engineering buildings at Yonsei University for about two hours but did not find any objects suspected to be bombs. During this process, about 100 people, including Yonsei University students, evacuated.



The police confirmed that about 1 hour and 30 minutes before the report was received, a post saying "I put a bomb in a tumbler and sent it by delivery" was uploaded on a university student online community, and they are tracking the author. The post has since been deleted.
