A man covering his face with a hat and mask enters the courthouse to receive an arrest warrant.
This is a 30-year-old Mr. Cho, who is accused of killing one person and injuring three others by stabbing passers-by near Sillim Station in Gwanak-gu, Seoul.

″Everything has been in such a bad situation since before, I think it was my fault. I’m just a useless person, sorry.”
He also said he was “remorseful” as he left the police station just before appearing in court.

″<범행은 왜 저지른 겁니까?> I did it because it was so hard.”
The court issued an arrest warrant, saying, “There is a concern that Mr. Cho may escape.”
The police are going to test whether Mr. Cho is a ‘psychopath’, which is part of the antisocial personality disorder.
However, experts point out that Cho’s behavior is far from typical psychopathic crimes.

″When the desire for a happy life was frustrated, it was because of that that the crime was brutal due to deep frustration… “Psychopaths” are insensitive and don’t care much about other people, but that’s a different context.”
Among the injured, one victim who was transferred to the hospital in critical condition and underwent emergency surgery was reported to have passed a major hurdle.
The police were concerned that the video of Mr. Cho’s crime was spreading indiscriminately online and that it was “secondary harm to the bereaved family and victims.”
We plan to investigate those who repeatedly distribute the information by applying charges of violating the Information and Communications Network Act.
