On the 16th, Yonhap News reported, "Jeju Police Agency has booked a man in his 20s, A (Seoul), on charges of special threats and obstruction of official duties by deception, and is investigating him on the 16th."

A is suspected of posting a message on an online community around 10:20 p.m. on the 20th of last month, saying, "I will carry out a stabbing in Daechi-dong tomorrow morning. It will be dangerous if you have academy schedules in the morning," thereby warning of a knife rampage. Afterward, the post was deleted, and an additional message believed to be written by A appeared, saying, "I could not control the severity. I am sorry." However, the police strengthened nearby patrols, including supporting the mobile patrol unit, in preparation for any possible situation.

After posting the message, A surrendered to the police, who executed a warrant on the online community to confirm that A had posted the message. A resident of Jeju who saw the post first reported it to Jeju Police Agency's 112, and the Jeju Police Agency has been investigating. A police official said, "As this is still an ongoing investigation, we cannot disclose specific details of the case."
