In Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, an area densely populated with private academies, a post threatening a violent attack with a weapon was uploaded online, prompting the police to track down the author on the 21st.

The police stated that on the 20th, they received a report about a post on an online community stating, "I will stab people in Daechi-dong tomorrow morning," and have launched an investigation.

The post has since been deleted from the community, and a message believed to be from the author saying, "I could not control the severity. I am sorry," was posted.

However, the police have reportedly strengthened patrols in the area, including deploying mobile patrol units, to prepare for any possible incidents. On the 18th, a similar post threatening a violent attack with a weapon was uploaded online near Yatap Station on the Suin-Bundang Line in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi Province, leading the police to begin tracking the case. Patrols around Yatap Station were increased, and Seongnam City also entered an emergency preparedness posture.
