While the Prosecution Service is conducting a reinvestigation into the assault case involving the late Director Kim Chang-min, the content written in the ambulance log of the 119th emergency response team that arrived at the scene on the day of the incident has become a subject of controversy.

According to NEWSIS on the 22nd, the ambulance activity log of the 119th emergency response team at the Gyo-mun 119 Safety Center of the Guri Fire Station dated October 20 last year stated, "(According to the police, the son hit the father in the face with a fist during an argument with his son)."

It further read, "Swelling and bruising observed in both eyes; bleeding from the left ear observed. Vomited multiple times inside the ambulance. Consciousness faded afterward, but responded to pain."

It also noted that the transfer to the hospital was delayed because, when contacted by the hospital, the team was told to arrange for a guardian before transporting the patient to the emergency room, and efforts to secure a guardian caused a delay in departure from the scene. It is also reported that although the team attempted to transport the director's son, who has severe developmental disabilities, as a guardian, the son was confused and unable to communicate, so he was taken into protective custody by the police and could not ride along as a guardian.

Although the emergency room specialist's record at the hospital also contained content stating that the director's son committed the assault, it was reported that the fact of the assault by the perpetrator's group was omitted.

In contrast, it is reported that the local police report only stated, "Mr. Lee, who assaulted Director Kim Chang-min, admitted from the beginning that he struck him, explained the circumstances leading to the crime while in an agitated state, and Director Kim Chang-min was transported to the hospital as he was unable to give a statement due to injuries from the assault."

In response, fire authorities stated, "It appears that the field personnel simply transcribed the information they received from the police," while the police maintained that "such content does not appear in the field report at all," further raising suspicions.

Meanwhile, the late Director Kim Chang-min got into a dispute with a group of men in their 20s while having a meal with his son with developmental disabilities at a restaurant in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, on October 20 last year. The perpetrators, using a so-called "chokehold" from behind to knock the deceased unconscious, carried out a indiscriminate group assault and continued the assault even after dragging Director Kim outside the restaurant.

In particular, one of the perpetrators released a song with lyrics such as "The innocent me is already gone, I've become a thug," drawing public outrage for showing no remorse. Furthermore, as the controversy grew, the family members were heavily criticized after seeking out a YouTuber instead of themselves to film an apology video.
