The public's anger is growing as it was belatedly known that the late film director Kim Chang-min, who left after donating organs to four people, was beaten to death. In the meantime, the police reportedly judged the dispute between the late director Kim Chang-min and the perpetrators as "bilateral assault" in the early days of the incident.

According to News 1 on the 9th, the police put the late head coach Kim Chang-min on the investigation list on charges of special intimidation on the day of the incident. According to reports, the Guri Police Station in Gyeonggi Province, which investigated the case, secured and analyzed closed-circuit (CC) TVs that illuminated the restaurant and the alley where the assault took place shortly after the incident occurred on October 20 last year. At that time, the late director Kim Chang-min visited a restaurant with his developmental disability son and got into a dispute with A (30) party over noise problems. CCTV footage on the day of the incident showed the late director Kim Chang-min smoking with A's group outside the restaurant, and the late director Kim Chang-min, who later entered the restaurant, rushed to the group after picking something up from the table, but was stopped. It is reported that the late head coach Kim Chang-min did not show him swinging it.

Later, one of the group strangled the late director Kim Chang-min, and while they came out of the restaurant, the perpetrators were seen patting the late director Kim Chang-min on the back. Later, as the scuffle broke out again, the perpetrator A swung a fist in the face of the late director Kim Chang-min, and the other B dragged the late director Kim Chang-min down the alley and then additional assault took place.

Police were dispatched at the report of a restaurant employee, and it was reported that the late director Kim Chang-min was put on the list of investigators on charges of special intimidation at the beginning of the investigation through the employee's statement that "the late director Kim Chang-min rushed with a pork cutlet knife." As a result of checking employee statements and CCTV, the dispatched police officer judged it as a bilateral assault between the late director Kim Chang-min and A. However, when the late head coach Kim Chang-min died, the police ended the charge without the right to indict.

While the case is drawing public outrage, the Ministry of Justice has also stepped up. Justice Minister Jung Sung-ho stressed on the 7th that "we will thoroughly investigate the truth and reveal the actual truth so that the perpetrators will be subject to strict punishment." Minister Chung said, "The victim, who was a young and dreamy film director, was assaulted in a group while visiting a restaurant with his children with developmental disabilities and died of brain death," adding, "The bereaved families point out the lack of initial investigation, with only one person being sent as a suspect, even though at least six people appear on CCTV at the time of the assault, and only one more person was identified only after the bereaved family protested and the prosecution demanded a supplementary investigation." "The mental pain and anxiety of the bereaved families are also great in the tragic reality that the perpetrators are walking on the streets due to the rejection of arrest warrants." It is difficult to even count the heart of the deceased, who had to close his eyes while leaving children with severe developmental disabilities, and the heartbreak of the bereaved family, who must have been hurt by the investigation that did not meet expectations, in addition to the loss of their families, he said.

According to Minister Chung, the prosecution (the Namyangju branch of the Uijeongbu District Prosecutors' Office) quickly formed a dedicated team and launched a supplementary investigation after receiving the case from the Guri Police Station on the 2nd to thoroughly investigate the entire case and bring the perpetrators involved to justice. Minister Chung said, "The Ministry of Justice will ensure that there is not a single point of injustice left for the deceased victims and their families," adding, "We will thoroughly investigate the truth and reveal the actual truth by thoroughly supplementing the first investigation so that the perpetrators will be punished strictly." I pray for the repose of the late director Kim Chang-min, who left after sharing the warmth of life with organ donation until the end," he mourned the deceased.

Meanwhile, the late head coach Kim Chang-min passed away on November 7 last year due to cerebral hemorrhage. The sister of the deceased announced the obituary on social media and said, "After being diagnosed with brain death on the 7th, I shared my precious new life with four people through organ donation and left for the Lord." At that time, it was known as a simple cerebral hemorrhage death, but it was later known that it was a cerebral hemorrhage caused by assault, making it even more regrettable. The late director Kim Chang-min directed "Whose Daughter" and "Exit 3 of Guui Station." He also worked on writing teams such as 'Daechang Kim Chang-soo', 'Witch', 'Drug King', and 'Firefighter'.
