On July 15, Gwangju Bukbu Police Station announced that Mr. A, a doctor in his 70s, had been referred to the prosecution without detention on suspicion of violating the Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes.

Mr. A, who runs a hospital in the local area, is accused of repeatedly causing distress this year by visiting the home of Ms. B, a woman in her 20s who attended the same university as him, ringing her doorbell twice and then fleeing.

The police investigation determined that Mr. A engaged in these actions to arrange a marriage between his son and Ms. B.

It was also found that Mr. A repeatedly visited not only Ms. B’s home, but also the residence of Mr. C, Ms. B’s father, who is in his 60s.

During this process, Mr. A reportedly told people around him that “Ms. B will become my daughter-in-law,” and even distributed false wedding invitations and reception announcements.

After receiving a complaint in March, police launched an investigation and concluded that Mr. A’s actions constituted stalking, subsequently referring the case to the prosecution.
