The perpetrator, who assaulted and killed the late director Kim Chang-min, has been found to have bragged about the crime, saying, "My attention was not rusty."

JTBC's "Case Team Leader," which aired on the 6th, dealt with the death of the late Kim Chang-min.

According to the 'case leader', the perpetrators of the assault and death of the late director Kim Chang-min are presumed to be health trainers and delivery company operators. Lawyer Sohn Soo-ho said, "There are things my acquaintances said about the actual perpetrator. One of the perpetrators is a health trainer, and the other runs a delivery company," he said.

After the death of the late Kim Chang-min, residents reported that the perpetrators witnessed it. Lawyer Sohn Soo-ho said, "The residents of the apartment where the perpetrator lives were usually visible because of the tattoos, but they said there were scenes of him appearing at the gym or running after this incident."

In particular, one of the perpetrators reportedly released a hip-hop music on the 17th of last month, four months after the death of the late director Kim Chang-min. The song released on YouTube shocked people as it contained lyrics that reminded them of the incident, such as "I'm gone, I'm already innocent," and "I'm becoming a bully."

In addition, one of the perpetrators is said to have boasted of the crime. According to the case leader, the perpetrator said, "My fist was not rusty. When I hit him, he collapsed right away," he reportedly said.

Recently, online communities have raised suspicions that the perpetrators are gang members operating in Guri, Gyeonggi-do. In this regard, lawyer Sohn Soo-ho said, "Photographs of two men who are believed to be perpetrators are spreading online," adding, "Specifically, the production team personally checked when they heard that they belong to a gang in Guri City." One of the two men in the picture has nothing to do with the incident," he said.

"The other one was there, but he was rather a dried person. When I asked the gang member about the alleged gangster, he said he was close to the two perpetrators, but he did not belong."

Meanwhile, the late head coach Kim Chang-min was assaulted at 1:10 a.m. on October 20, 2025 when he was having a meal with his son at a restaurant in Sutaek-dong, Guri-si, and was taken to a hospital after being assaulted in a dispute, but he fell unconscious as he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

The late head coach Kim Chang-min, who had been treated in the intensive care unit since then, was diagnosed with brain death on November 7, 2025 without finally recovering consciousness, and later gave four people a new life through organ donation.
