"What's Broken, Should I Kill?" Heated Reactions Also Emerge
So-called 'MZ Jopok' composed of members born in 2002 were massively arrested by the police, and it was revealed that they mocked the chief prosecutor who previously criticized their behavior.
According to the Chungnam Provincial Police Agency on the 20th, in the chat room of the 'MZ Jopok' formed by members born in 2002 from 21 violent organizations nationwide, they posted and mocked articles related to Shin Junho, chief prosecutor of the Violent Crime Investigation Division at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
The article stated that Chief Prosecutor Shin was angered after watching a video during a press briefing on June 30, showing gangsters revealing tattoos all over their bodies and holding a unity rally at a bar.
In the video released by the prosecution at the time, young gangsters repeatedly shouted "Fighting" while showing off their power, and Chief Prosecutor Shin was captured tightly closing his eyes or pursing his lips, attracting attention. There was also footage of him turning his head as if trying to hold back his anger.

This scene became a big topic, with netizens commenting, "You can feel the deep frustration being held back from the prosecutor's expression during the briefing," "You can feel the chief prosecutor's anger," and "Beyond chilliness, you can sense the line of emotional restraint."
Regarding this, one member of the MZ Jopok said, "The chief prosecutor is f***ing angry," adding, "If we gather at this timing, are we all f***ed? lol." Another member responded with "lol" as if it was nothing serious.
In response to a post with a photo of the members and the caption, "I heard their entire organization was completely destroyed as of today?" they reacted with comments like "The prosecutors took that photo," and "What do you mean destroyed? Should we kill them?"
