A police investigation has revealed that the person responsible for paying two teenagers to vandalize the walls of Gyeongbokgung also instructed another teenager to graffiti subway stations in Daegu. The individual, identified as “team leader Lee,” is believed to have contacted a 17-year-old male named Im and a 16-year-old female, offering payment to graffiti the palace walls with web addresses to illegal video streaming platforms. It has now been discovered that Lee made a similar request to a teen in Daegu on December 18.
The Daegu incident involved Lee approaching a teenager and suggesting that any station in Daegu would be suitable for graffiti. Lee assured the teen that they would not get caught if they wore a mask and a hat. However, the teenager refused to comply with the request.
The cyber investigative unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency has been actively tracking Lee based on information provided by Im. According to Im, team leader Lee promised to pay him 3 million won ($2,300) if they wrote promotional messages for an illegal movie website on the walls of the Joseon-era palace. As an advance payment, Lee gave them 100,000 won.
Lee had contacted all three teenagers through an open chat room on the Telegram app, claiming to be the owner of the illegal website that the teens were instructed to promote.
The initial incident occurred in the early hours of December 16 when graffiti was sprayed on the walls of Gyeongbokgung, spanning approximately 44 meters. The duo responsible for the vandalism also wrote similar messages on the walls of the Seoul police agency headquarters near Gyeongbokgung. Both locations are situated in Jongno-gu, central Seoul.
In a separate incident, a man in his 20s named Seol vandalized the walls of Gyeongbokgung on December 17. Seol wrote promotional messages for a local singer and the singer’s album.
All three suspects involved in the vandalism have been apprehended by the police and are currently under investigation.
