 Karakula YouTube Channel Capture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A suspect in the group assault that killed filmmaker Kim Chang-min appeared on YouTube and issued an apology. <\/p>\n

In a video titled “I am the killer of Director Kim Chang-min,” uploaded on the 9th to the Caracula YouTube channel, known as CyberRekker, the man identified as A bowed his head and said, “I’m deeply sorry to Director Kim and his bereaved family.” <\/p>\n

He also defended the controversy over releasing a song called “Gangster” under the stage name “Perpetrator” after the incident, saying, “I recorded that track before the incident; it’s just a story about first love.” <\/p>\n

The victim’s family called the suspect’s actions “another form of violence.” Kim’s father criticized him, saying, “We have not received a single direct apology since the incident. Hiding behind the media to say you’re sorry without contacting the family only provokes and wounds us further.” <\/p>\n

Through the media on the 7th, A again bowed and said, “I know I committed an unforgivable crime against Director Kim and his family.” <\/p>\n

The family also updated the public on the condition of Kim’s son, who has a developmental disability. Kim’s father said, “My grandson has been shouting and is anxious since the incident. He’s receiving psychiatric treatment and taking medication.” <\/p>\n

Allegations of a botched initial police investigation have resurfaced. Guri Police in Gyeonggi Province initially relied on a restaurant worker’s statement and reported that Kim charged at attackers with a pork-cutlet knife, listing him as a suspect on a special intimidation charge. Responding officers treated the incident as a mutual altercation, but that allegation was closed without prosecution after Kim died. <\/p>\n

CCTV later showed Kim pick something up but did not show him swinging it; instead, footage captured the attackers choking Kim, dragging his collapsed body into a blind spot, and beating him indiscriminately. The family says at least six people took part in the attack, yet authorities have identified only one suspect, and they are demanding a full reinvestigation. <\/p>\n

The prosecution has formed a special team of three prosecutors and five investigators to conduct a supplementary inquiry. The Gyeonggi Northern Provincial Police Agency is also conducting internal inspections of Guri Police officers who led the initial investigation. <\/p>\n

Kim, who worked on films including The Witch and The Firefighter, collapsed last October from a brain hemorrhage caused by the assault. He was declared brain-dead and donated organs to four recipients before passing away. The Ministry of Justice said it will work to uncover the facts and ensure the perpetrators face stern punishment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
