Police launched an investigation after a post predicting a terror attack claiming explosives had been planted at Yeouido Hangang Park in Seoul was uploaded.
According to the Seoul Seongbuk Police Station and others on the 9th, at about 2:25 a.m. that day they received a report that a post predicting a bomb attack had been uploaded to a broadcaster's tip-off platform.
The author reportedly threatened in the post that a bomb had been planted near Yeouido Hangang Park and that unless 10 million won was sent, multiple casualties would occur.
Currently, the "2026 Hangang Festival," which features movie screenings, music performances, and water leisure experiences, is underway at nine Hangang parks including Yeouido.
Police are tracking the author of the post on suspicion of public intimidation while deploying a special forces unit across the Hangang Park area to confirm whether explosives have been planted.
