The Police on Tuesday summoned a political YouTuber for questioning over alleged charges for stalking the Justice Minister, Han Dong-hoon on his way home from work for nearly a month, officials said.

The police summons follows a stalking complaint the justice minister’s side filed last week, saying he has been followed for a month by a vehicle on his way home.

After analyzing CCTV and black box footage, police have identified a man affiliated with a political YouTube channel as the suspect, according to police officials.

The YouTube channel is operated by those who previously worked for Open Mind TV, a progressive YouTube channel dealing with political issues.

Seoul Suseo Police Station issued the summons on Tuesday shortly after questioning the complainant, officials said, without disclosing the date of the planned inquiry for the suspect.

Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon speaks to reporters at the Constitutional Court on Sept. 27, 2022.
