A man in his 20s wearing military uniform and exposing important parts of his body on the subway has been identified as an active-duty soldier.
On the 25th, the Seocho Police Station in Seoul confirmed the identity of a man in his 20s, referred to as A, who is facing charges of public indecency.
Earlier, on X (formerly Twitter), a post was made on the 19th by a netizen warning, "Women taking the Shinbundang Line, be careful." A video accompanying the post showed a man in military uniform with his pants zipper down, exposing important parts of his body.
According to the police, A got off at Yangjae Citizen's Forest Station on the Shinbundang Line around 2 p.m. on the 19th and then moved to Gangnam Station, switching to Seoul Metro Line 2.
The police identified A four days after the incident, on the 19th. They are currently coordinating a schedule for A's appearance to investigate the exact circumstances of the case.
