The police, who are investigating the mastermind behind the Seoul Western District Court disturbance, will summon Jeon Kwang-hoon, pastor of Sarang Jeil Church. This is the first time Jeon has been summoned by the police regarding this incident.
The Security Investigation Division of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency (SMPA) announced on the 17th that Jeon, who faces charges of instigating special trespassing and obstruction of official duties, will be called in for questioning as a suspect at 10 a.m. on the 18th.
The police believe that Jeon Kwang-hoon was behind the disturbance at the Seoul Western District Court that occurred on January 19.
Earlier in August, the police searched Jeon's residence, Sarang Jeil Church, and the offices and homes of six conservative YouTubers. In September, they also conducted additional searches of Jeon's daughter and the office of Lee Young-han, the head pastor of Sarang Jeil Church.
On the 13th, the police questioned Shin Hye-sik, the head of the YouTube channel 'Sinihan Su.'
The police have completed summoning and questioning Shin and six other suspects, as well as several witnesses.
