At the regular press briefing that day, Commissioner Yoon said, “Complaints and petitions against the YouTuber have been received.”

A police official explained, “From the 5th to the 7th, three complaints and thirteen petitions were submitted. There is a possibility of more coming in,” adding, “The Gimhae Jungbu Police Station has been designated to conduct a focused investigation.” He continued, “There are various issues mixed in, such as defamation and obstruction of business. We will carefully examine each case during the investigation process,” and added, “The complainants were questioned over the weekend.”

Regarding the distribution of leaflets to North Korea by domestic civic groups, Commissioner Yoon said, “It is unclear whether North Korea’s ‘filth balloons’ can be regarded as an urgent and serious threat,” and cited the example of the 2014 October howitzer shelling, saying, “There is precedent that allows sanctioning leaflet distribution to North Korea. However, simply sending filth balloons is excessive.”

A police official stated, “The Constitutional Court ruled that banning the distribution of leaflets to North Korea restricts freedom of expression,” and added, “Currently, it can only be restrained if there is a clear and specific danger. This is an area that requires legislative refinement.”
