Sex offender Cho (25) has made his first public appearance following his identity reveal by police.
Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency forwarded Cho to prosecution at 8:00am on the 25th after being detained at Jongno Police Station. Cho made an appearance in front of the police station wearing a neck brace and band-aid on his head.
He then addressed reporters stating, "I apologize to the (JTBC) president Son Seok-hee, Mayor Yoon Jang-hyun and all the people who I have hurt including Kim Woong. Thank you for stopping the devil's life that I couldn't."
When asked by reporters whether "he admits to the charges", "if he has anything to say to the victims", or "if he feels guilty for his crimes against young victims," he didn't answer.
According to police reports, Cho, graduated college in 2018 and majored in Information and Communications but was good at writing and won first place in his school's book report contest. He was also the editor of the school newspaper, writing editorials. He also won multiple scholarships for having good grades, but according to colleagues had "trouble with professors... he was just trouble in general." However, a past colleague stated that many would have never imagined him to end up in this manner. It seems like he started the '"N bang" chatroom in 2018.
