[Seoul = Minoruhiko Ueno]Since the 20th, more than 2,000 reports have been received in various parts of South Korea that suspicious international mail has arrived. In some cases, people who opened the package complained of poor physical condition, and the police are investigating and urging caution not to open it.
According to South Korean media, in the southeastern city of Ulsan, workers at a welfare facility who opened the package complained of numbness in their arms on the 20th, but a government investigation found no poisonous substances. On the 21st, similar mail was found at a post office in central Seoul, prompting about 1,700 people inside the building to evacuate.
The sender was written as “Taipei Taiwan” in a yellow or black envelope, but Taiwan’s branch office in South Korea explained that it was “shipped from China and arrived in South Korea via Taiwan.”
It is said that many of the items were empty or contained cheap items such as lip balm.
