A YouTuber who caused controversy by posting a message threatening to kill Moon Hyung-bae, Acting Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, was arrested for causing a disturbance while intoxicated but was later released.

According to the police on the 23rd, the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul applied for an arrest warrant for A, a YouTuber in his 40s, on charges including obstruction of business, but the prosecution decided not to request the warrant the day before. A is accused of causing a disturbance while intoxicated at a restaurant in Yongsan-gu on the 21st, using abusive language such as "red XX".

The police applied for an arrest warrant for A the following day, but the prosecution did not accept it, stating that "it is difficult to see the necessity for detention at this point in time." On the 13th and 14th, A posted messages on his YouTube channel, including a threat to kill Acting Chief Justice Moon, which was reported to the police as a 'murder threat' directed at an unspecified number of people.

Currently, the Yeongdeungpo Police Station has registered him as a suspect and is investigating him on charges including intimidation.
