On the 13th, just before the accused investigation held at the Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul, Pastor Choi stated, "The essence of this case is a solicitation," and added, "First Lady Kim and those around her should be investigated."


He continued, "I met with the First Lady's side after making a formal agreement," and added, "The essence is that the First Lady received all the gifts I provided."


On that day, the Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul has been investigating Pastor Choi since 10 a.m. on charges of trespassing. This follows a complaint filed in February by a conservative civic group against Pastor Choi and the Seoul's Voice personnel who released the filmed video, accusing them of trespassing and other charges.



The police plan to examine the legality of Pastor Choi secretly filming and distributing the process of delivering the expensive bag to the First Lady. Lee Myung-soo, a reporter from Seoul's Voice who was also accused, is scheduled to appear at the Yeongdeungpo Police Station on the morning of the 14th for an investigation on charges of defamation.
