The suspect in the 'Boa graffiti terror' has been captured... Unidentified woman's suspicious behavior in the heart of Gangnam

As the malicious graffiti terror targeting singer Boa continues, the suspect in the incident has been captured, causing shock.

According to a report from Channel A on 12th, a woman's suspicious behavior was captured on CCTV at a bus stop in Gangnam, Seoul, on 5th. The woman in the footage had short hair and was carrying a handbag.

This woman is suspected to be the perpetrator of the so-called 'graffiti terror.' Recently, malicious graffiti aimed at Boa has been continuously discovered in major bustling areas such as Gangnam Station, Sinnonhyeon Station, and Yeoksam-daero, causing significant upheaval. The graffiti contained serious insults and personal attacks, prompting some fans to take a proactive response by cleaning the area.

With the suspect's appearance being made public, concerns are growing that the online malicious comments and insults that had previously been limited to the internet are now expanding into offline crimes. In particular, as Boa had recently hinted at retirement and repeatedly expressed the pain caused by the ongoing malicious comments, this incident is being viewed as a serious act of psychological violence inflicted on the artist, going beyond mere property damage.

The management company SM Entertainment stated earlier on the 11th, "After confirming graffiti near Gangnam Station, we immediately reported it to the police and plan to submit a formal complaint today," indicating strong measures. They added, "Public insults and the spread of false information are clear crimes, and we will pursue legal action without any leniency."

As the news broke, reactions of anger and concern were poured out on various online communities and social media. "This has really crossed the line. Why are they doing this offline?" "People like this must be caught and punished. Telling public figures to tolerate it is outdated." "Since it was caught on video, please conduct a thorough investigation," many voiced.

The police are currently focused on identifying the woman captured on CCTV and are also looking into the connection with other areas where graffiti terror occurred.
