The police investigation into the assassination attempt on President Yoon, declared the country’s first official act of terrorism, has led to a search of former prosecutor Kim Sang-min's residence for allegedly falsifying legal documents.
A police task force investigating the assault on President Yoon Suk-yeol, which occurred on January 2, 2024, has conducted a search of former prosecutor Kim Sang-min's home as part of their inquiries into the incident classified as 'National Public Terrorist Act No. 1.' The investigation targets a document Kim authored while serving as a special advisor to the National Intelligence Service in which he argued that the assault should not be classified as an act of terrorism. This report discussed a modified weapon described as a 'cutter knife' and claimed that there was no advantage to designating the incident as terrorism. The inquiry raises questions about the legality and integrity of Kim's assertions regarding the attack on the President.
