On the 2nd, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul is reviewing the possibility of applying charges of excessive exposure under the Minor Offenses Act to the motorcycle driver and the woman riding as a passenger. If charged under the Minor Offenses Act for excessive exposure, a fine of 50,000 won is expected to be imposed.
