[Anchor]
Two months after a post was posted about a stabbing rampage at Yatap Station, police caught the author, a man in his 20s.

It was investigated that an employee who was running the site posted a threat to increase the number of views on the community site.

I'll connect with the Ministry of Social Affairs to find out more about the news.

Reporter Jung Hyun-woo, please explain how you were arrested.

Yes. On the day before yesterday (13th), nearly two months after the announcement of a deadly rampage was posted, the police identified the publisher and arrested him.

The culprit was none other than A, a man in his 20s, an employee of a community site where the article was posted.

It is a community site that claims anonymity by placing servers overseas, and A was an employee who managed a sub-bulletin board that shared the address of a pornographic site here.

In order to arrest the author, the police seized and searched the site's office with international cooperation and found that A was the culprit.

Regarding the reason for posting a notice of a deadly rampage, A said he did it to increase the number of site views, and it was confirmed that he admitted the crime to the police.

The police applied for an arrest warrant against the arrested Mr. A, and the court will examine the validity of the warrant today.

In addition, the police also arrested three people in their 20s, including the manager who operated the community site, on charges of assisting in the distribution of pornography.

Earlier, he posted a position on the site that he was cooperating with the investigation, but the police explained that there was no actual cooperation.

The police are also investigating whether they instructed A to post threatening messages.

Because of the threatening text, there has been a considerable waste of police personnel.

In the three weeks since the post was posted that it would carry out a deadly rampage, there have been 529 police personnel on the scene for patrols.

In particular, special forces were dispatched on the day A predicted the crime, and even armored vehicles were deployed.

The police are also considering charging Mr. A for the amount spent on career investment.
