"Is the reporter's mobile phone registered under their name?" Repeated confirmation
Fine imposed for official document forgery charge

An incident occurred where an employee of a financial institution illegally parked in a disabled parking zone and, after being reported, used the reporter's personal information to threaten them.


On the 30th, YouTuber Ddalbae Hunter uploaded a video titled "She Pretended to Be Disabled, Got Caught, and Threatened Me to Watch Out." The channel focuses on content tracking citizens who violate traffic regulations.

In May, Ddalbae Hunter witnessed a passenger car parked in a disabled parking zone at a department store in Gyeongnam, with more than two-thirds of the disabled parking permit obscured. After reporting the vehicle to the district office, he called the car owner to ask if the numbers on the obscured parking permit matched the car's license plate. The owner evaded the question and replied, "I will move the car."


When Ddalbae Hunter revealed that he had already reported the car to the district office, the owner demanded, "Please cancel the report." The owner came down to the parking lot and insisted, "My brother is disabled, and the car is co-owned," repeatedly asking for the report to be withdrawn. When the request was denied, the owner raised their voice at Ddalbae Hunter, saying, "Who are you? Are you in charge here? Are you trying to get a civic award? Are you making money as a paparazzi? Isn't this too much?"

Ddalbae Hunter responded, "I cannot confirm whether the parking permit was properly issued, so the district office needs to verify it," and left the scene. Afterwards, the owner repeatedly called Ddalbae Hunter, urging him to cancel the report and threatening, "Is this mobile phone registered under your name? I will see how well off you are."


When the owner repeatedly asked, "Is the mobile phone registered under your name?" Ddalbae Hunter asked, "Why are you asking?" The owner replied, "You will find out. Just wait," and hung up.


Noting that the owner mistakenly referred to him as "customer" several times and confirmed the mobile phone registration, Ddalbae Hunter suspected the owner worked in a profession handling personal information and filed a complaint against him.



Ultimately, the owner was fined 1.6 million won for violating the disabled parking zone and was also sentenced to a 1 million won fine for forgery of official documents. The YouTuber revealed that the owner's occupation listed in the court ruling was an employee of a financial institution and commented, "I was surprised to see the occupation. It seems that your personal information is being managed quite carelessly."
