[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Soyoung] A male middle school teacher in his 30s has been booked by the police on charges of detaining a woman in her 20s at a motel after meeting her through a chat app.

The Jungbu Police Station in Incheon announced on the 23rd that they have booked and are investigating A (31, male), a teacher at a middle school in Incheon, on charges of detention.

A is suspected of detaining a woman in her 20s, B, for about 30 minutes at a motel in Jung-gu, Incheon, at around 2:50 a.m. on the 21st.

It was confirmed that he contacted B through a chat app and then met her in person, heading to the motel.

Afterwards, when B tried to leave the room, A reportedly prevented her from doing so.

The police responded to B's report pleading "Please save me" and escorted A from the motel to the police station voluntarily. A is known to have denied the charges during the police investigation.

A is reported to be a teacher at a middle school in Incheon.

The police plan to summon A soon to investigate the exact facts of the crime. A police official stated, "After the investigation, we will decide whether to notify the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education to initiate an investigation."
