Justice Minister Jung Sung-ho stressed 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 on his SNS on the 7th, "The lack of an initial investigation into the 'injury death case of the late director Kim Chang-min' caused great pain to the bereaved families and the people."

"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," he said. "The bereaved families point out the lack of initial investigation, with only one person being sent as a suspect, even though at least six perpetrators 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 disastrous reality that the perpetrators are walking on the streets due to the rejection of arrest warrants," Minister Chung said. "It is hard to imagine the heart of the deceased who had to close their eyes while leaving children with severe developmental disabilities, and the heartbreak of the bereaved families who must have been hurt by the investigation that did not meet expectations."

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 reiterated, "The Ministry of Justice will ensure that there is not a single point of unfairness left by 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 subject to strict punishment."

He mourned the deceased, saying, "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."

The late head coach Kim Chang-min got into an argument with a group of men in their 20s while eating with his developmentally disabled son at a restaurant in Guri, Gyeonggi-do, on October 20 last year. The perpetrators not only stunned the deceased with a so-called "back choke" that strangled him from behind, but also indiscriminately assaulted the late director Kim Chang-min outside the restaurant and continued the assault.

In particular, one of the perpetrators caused outrage by not reflecting on himself after the incident, releasing a song with the lyrics, "I'm already gone, I'm a bully."

Meanwhile, the late director Kim Chang-min, who was born in 1985, directed the films "Whose Daughter" (2016) and "Exit No. 3 of Gu Station" (2019), and participated in the films "Firefighter" (2024), "Rain and Your Story" (2021), "Witch" (2018), and "The Drug King" (2018).
