Knife attack warning posted online
The police have launched an investigation after a death threat post targeting the grandmother of famous pro gamer Faker (real name Lee Sanghyuk) was posted online.
The Dobong Police Station in Seoul announced on June 1 that they are tracking down the author who posted a death threat against Faker's grandmother and a separate post warning of a knife rampage on an online community.
The threatening post was reportedly uploaded to an online community at around 11 p.m. on May 30. The author posted content threatening to kill Faker's grandmother. Several minutes later, another post was uploaded to the same community, warning of a knife rampage and stating, "I will go to Irwon Station" and "Women nearby should be careful." All of these posts have since been deleted.
