On the 19th, the Criminal Mobile Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced that they have been conducting additional raids since 9:30 a.m. on a hospital and medical staff located in the metropolitan area who performed the abortion surgery on a woman at 36 weeks of pregnancy.

Currently, the police have booked a woman in her 20s who posted the "36-week abortion video" on YouTube and the hospital director who performed the surgery on charges of murder and are conducting an investigation.

Earlier, at the end of June, controversy arose after a woman uploaded a video on her YouTube channel stating that she had undergone an abortion surgery at 36 weeks of pregnancy. Since the Constitutional Court ruled the abortion law unconstitutional in April 2019, abortion itself is no longer illegal under criminal law; however, if the medical staff caused the death of the baby after removing it from the mother's body, they could be charged with murder.
