On November 2nd, Mr.A posted on his SNS, "I went to the police station yesterday and was investigated," and said, "The footage from the security camera confirmed that my friend and I left the scene of the accident at 9:50 pm."
He continued, "The police confirmed that the traffic card was also mine," and added, "I have submitted all other evidence. Stop playing Conan."
'Conan' is the name of the main character of the Japanese animation/manga 'Detective Conan', and it seems that he requested netizens to stop searching for criminals like detectives.
After the crushing accident in Itaewon earlier, online and social media posted, "A group of 5 or 6 people led and started pushing people," and "A man wearing a rabbit headband shouted to push." Many testimonies such as "People began to fall down after shouting 'Push!'", and suspicions were raised.
In the process, Mr.A, who was wearing a rabbit headband at the time, was named as the person who pushed the citizens and appeared in the video taken by the people, further deepening the suspicion.
When the controversy spread, Mr.A presented his subway transportation card usage history on social media as evidence and said, "There may be misunderstandings, but I want you to stop witch-hunting. I will sue those who spread false information."
According to the usage history released by Mr.A at the time, he got on the train from Itaewon Station at 9:55 pm and got off at Hapjeong Station at 10:17 pm. The crushing accident occurred at 10:15 p.m.
Meanwhile, the police are conducting additional background checks on other people who were suspected of pushing people at the time.
