Around 8 a.m. that day, A blocked a road near Sillim-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, with her black Mercedes-Benz vehicle. She then kicked her car’s side mirror and repeatedly hit the trunk area with her cellphone. During this, she shouted insults at drivers honking to ask her to move the car and at nearby citizens.
