The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions has sued the author of an Internet post and the media that reported that a police officer assaulted by a member of the union fell into a coma at a rally calling for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions said it sued the author of the article and a media reporter who reported the article on charges of defamation of false information to Namdaemun Police Station in Seoul on the morning of the 14th.

Earlier, a message was posted on the office worker community "Blind" by a user believed to be a member of the National Police Agency, saying, "A participant in a KCTU rally stole a police officer's walkie-talkie and took a picture of the head, and the employee was in a coma."

At that time, a member of the union stole the police officer's radio and threw it, and the police officer suffered a stab wound of about 3cm to the forehead, but he was treated at the hospital and returned to the hospital and is said to be unconscious.
