The Prosecution Service has filed for arrest warrants against two suspects in the case of the late Director Kim Chang-min, who died from injuries sustained in an assault.

The Criminal Division 2 of the Namyangju Branch of the Uijeongbu District Prosecution Service, led by Chief Prosecutor Park Shin-young, announced on the 28th that it has requested arrest warrants for two suspects, including Mr. A, on charges of causing injury that led to the death of the late Director Kim Chang-min (injury resulting in death).

The late Director Kim Chang-min visited a restaurant in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, with his son who has a developmental disability around 1 a.m. on October 20, 2025. He was assaulted by a group led by Mr. A, who was seated nearby, and was rushed to a hospital about an hour later. However, he was declared brain dead on November 7, 2025, and passed away after donating his organs to four recipients.

Following this, the police initially identified only Mr. A as a suspect before the victim's death and applied charges of serious injury, requesting an arrest warrant, which was rejected. In response to a request for supplementary investigation, the police added Mr. B, who was present at the scene, to the case and sought arrest warrants for both individuals on charges of injury resulting in death. However, the court rejected the request, stating there was no risk of evidence destruction or escape.

Ultimately, the Prosecution Service, which took over the case from the police, formed a dedicated team consisting of three prosecutors and five investigators and launched a reinvestigation.

The late Director Kim Chang-min was born in 1985 and entered the film industry in 2013 as a prop specialist for the movie "Suspect." He later participated in numerous films, including "Only One Way Out" (2018), "King of Pigs" (2018), "The Witch" (2018), and "Firefighter" (2024), as part of the art department.
