According to the Seongdong Police Station in Seoul on the 18th, graffiti in the form of street art resembling scribbles was found on the exterior of a Line 1 subway train at the Gunja Vehicle Depot of Seoul Metro in Yongdap-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, that morning.

Three men, believed to be male, illegally trespassed by climbing over a roughly 4-meter-high wall of the train depot at around 3:10 a.m. on the 17th, spent about an hour drawing graffiti, and then fled. The graffiti measured 4 meters wide and 1.5 meters high and has since been restored.

The police are tracking the suspects based on CCTV footage and, judging from their appearance, they are presumed to be foreigners. Seoul Metro plans to claim the restoration costs.
