On the afternoon of the 24th, a similar incident occurred in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province.
A third-grade female student was walking from home to an academy when a strange man in a black sedan spoke to her, saying, "I will show you the cat inside the car."
Feeling threatened, the girl screamed and ran away, and immediately informed her parents.
As this information became known, residents are anxiously worried that such incidents might happen to their own children.
The police are checking closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage and conducting inquiries to confirm any connection between the two incidents while tracking the suspects.
