Bae In-kyu, head of the New Men's Solidarity, said on his YouTube channel on the 19th, "The videos of citizens' faces and breaking the glass are all used as videos of evidence," adding, "If (the video) is collected, all citizens will be caught, so YouTubers have to lower the video."
"There are many YouTubers who filmed citizens, and if they have their faces, they will be caught," he said. "The number of views is important, but it hurts them."
This seems to be concerned about the possibility of YouTube videos containing the faces of protesters who participated in the violence at the Western District Court being used as evidence for the police.
Police said they have arrested a total of 90 people as current offenders for group illegal activities at the Seoul Western District Court and the Constitutional Court for two days from the 18th to the 19th.
Of the 90 people, 46 were in their 20s and 30s, accounting for 51% of the total, and three YouTubers were found to have broken into the Western District Court. Police are applying for arrest warrants for 66 of them sequentially.
A police official said, "We plan to thoroughly analyze mobile phones, evidence data, and YouTube videos to check illegal actors, tutors, and helpers to the end and punish them strictly."
