Supporters of President Yoon Suk Yeol, who caused a riot at the Seoul Western District Court, broke into the seventh floor, where the judges' private offices are located.

The protesters deliberately damaged the warrant judge's office as if they targeted Judge Cha Eun-kyung, who issued the warrant.

Protesters supporting President Yoon Suk Yeol, who staged an unprecedented riot at the Seoul Western District Court, broke through windows and entered the court without hesitation.

They went up the stairs to the seventh floor, where the judges' private offices are located.

It is a space where outsiders are strictly restricted due to case records and personal items of judges.

Chun Dae-yup, the head of the court administration, said that the warrant judge's office on the 7th floor was intentionally damaged.

There were signs of an invasion that forced the door open.

In light of the fact that the protesters walked around the court building calling the name of senior judge Cha Eun-kyung, who issued the warrant,
It is suspected that
were aiming for Judge Cha.

[Cheon Dae-yeop / Head of Court Administration: Judging from the fact that only the warrant judge's room was intentionally damaged and there were traces of it, I'm guessing he knew about this.]

Fortunately, Judge Cha's room was on another floor, and when the rioters came in, he had already finished his work and left work, so there was no incident.
