Cambodian suspect involved in series of kidnappings of Koreans revealed... ”Why is Cambodia being blamed?”

While South Korean police admitted that cooperation with Cambodian authorities was not smooth, the identity of a Korean ethnic Korean who is believed to be the main participant was made public in a Telegram group chat of the so-called vigilante group.
According to JTBC on the 13th, the Telegram group chat in question contained personal information such as the height of a Korean man named "Lee Gwang-ho," as well as information that he was currently wanted.
The group chat administrator pointed out the man as a key figure in the case of a Korean university student who was tortured to death by a Cambodian criminal organization.
This group chat was the first to share footage of a deceased university student being forced to take drugs before his death, and was the first to send him to Cambodia.
It is said that information was also provided about the person who committed the crime. There are criticisms that this is a form of private punishment, but in a situation where it is not easy to carry out an investigation on the ground, information was provided by the victim and their family.
This is the reason why people are concentrating on group chats. At the National Assembly Political Affairs Committee's audit held on the same day, it was revealed that Cambodia's official development assistance (ODA) budget for this year is 400 billion won.
Along with the calls for the items to be recalled, there were also calls for a strong message to be sent not only to the Chinese criminal organizations involved but also to the Chinese government.
Kang Min-guk, a member of the People's Power Assembly, said, "Hundreds of our people have been abducted and held captive, and we are in a desperate situation, but the government is standing idly by.
"Is this really okay?" he said, making his point. Rep. Kang also emphasized that "military operations should be carried out in cooperation with the Cambodian military and police."
Amid this situation, Korean residents in Cambodia are complaining about their suffering.
The chairman of the Korean Association of Cambodia said on CBS radio that day, "Anti-Korean sentiment is emerging in Cambodia," and "Cambodians are concerned that Chinese and Koreans are involved in these (incidents)."
"I wonder why Cambodia should be blamed and subjected to sanctions, including travel bans, for events that are taking place in response to the United States' support."
Meanwhile, the Blue House has responded to a series of crimes in Cambodia targeting Koreans, including employment fraud, kidnapping, confinement, and torture.
However, it is understood that some Koreans are being detained by Cambodian authorities on suspicion of involvement in crimes there.
Yoon Hu-deok, a lawmaker with the Democratic Party, said during a parliamentary audit by the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee on the same day, "National Security Advisor Wi Seong-rak told me that there are 68 Koreans in the (local) prison.
"I heard that many of these people do not want to return (to South Korea)," he said. Director Wee said, "If necessary, we will
A gradual repatriation should also be considered," he was quoted as saying.
