According to the police today (21st), Seogwipo Police Station arrested three entertainment business employees, including a man in his 20s, on April 13 on charges of violating the law on punishment such as special robbery and violence (joint imprisonment) and violating the Credit Finance Business Act. It is reported that they conducted an undercover investigation for more than 10 days to arrest them.

Earlier, a group of entertainment bars is accused of paying 6 million won on two occasions with the credit card of a Chinese man in his 30s, B, who was drunk alone at around 11 p.m. on March 27.

They forced a Chinese man, B, to pay for alcohol using a fake liquor called "Pingsul," made by mixing low-priced alcohol.

At that time, they reportedly took away B's mobile phone, imprisoned him for five hours, and assaulted him for refusing to pay for excessive alcohol.

It was around 4 a.m. on the 28th, the next day that the victim was released. After a nightmarish night, the victim immediately called the police.

The Seogwipo Police Station Detective Team 5 began the investigation by hiding the next day, but as victim B left for China, he had to communicate through messenger and conduct an investigation.

Currently, three people, including A, who was handed over to the prosecution, are reportedly being indicted and tried.
