According to the Namdaemun Police Station in Seoul on the 3rd, a threatening post about making a knife attack at Seoul Station tomorrow was posted on an internet community around 1 am on the 1st.

The post is currently known to have been deleted.

A community user made the report.

The police carried out preventive measures such as strengthening security around Seoul Station for two days from the 1st to the 2nd.

Fortunately, there was no incident of a knife attack on the scene.

The police are tracking the author’s IP and considering applying charges of obstructing official duties by posting false information.

Meanwhile, in December last year, a series of individuals in their 10s and 20s who posted murder threats online were prosecuted.

The Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office Anyang Branch Criminal Department 1 (Chief Prosecutor Choi Hyung-won) indicted two high school students, including Mr. A, and three people in their 20s, including Mr. B, on charges of threats and obstruction of official duties by false information.

Mr. A and others are accused of each posting a murder threat online after a knife attack incident occurred at Seohyun Station in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, last August.

They were identified as having posted content such as ‘I will kill everyone I see at the amusement park’ and ‘I will make a knife attack in Uiwang’.
