"Explosives" in the middle of the night at KINTEX...About 200 people were evacuated at one point.

An Internet post was posted last night (1st) that explosives were installed at a game venue in KINTEX, Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.

Hundreds of visitors who had been waiting overnight to enter early the next day were evacuated and a major search was conducted, with no explosives found.

Crowds are lining up outside the dark exhibition hall.

Armed police commandos busily move in and out of the building.

At 8:40 p.m. last night, police received a report that a post warning of a "bombing" was posted on an Internet community.

The place that was pointed out was a one-game venue.

At the time, hundreds of fans were waiting all night to buy the limited edition "Goods."

Immediately after receiving the report, police security departments, commandos, fire departments and military personnel were dispatched to the scene.

Fortunately, no explosives were found in the search using police sniffer dogs.

[Sanghoon Lee / Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province: The police came and said, 'Someone posted an explosive, so I'll put down all my personal luggage and go outside and wait for a while.]

Fans who waited like this for the so-called "Open Run" had to evacuate outside for about two hours until the explosive disturbance was completed.

The police cyber investigation team believes that the "terrorist notice" post was false, and is pursuing the person who wrote it on charges of intimidation.

Earlier last summer, the same game company's event held at the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium in Jamsil, Seoul, was also temporarily suspended due to the threat of explosives.
