The man in gray clothing receives the yellow container and approaches the court's broken window, seemingly pouring something.

The man in black follows him, throws a burning piece of paper through the window, and calmly leaves the scene.

This man was urgently arrested for breaking into the court during the riot, and the police plan to investigate the arson charges as well.

The detention procedures for the suspects involved in the riot are also ongoing.

YouTuber Lee, known as a special evangelist of the Sarangjeil Presbyterian Church, has been detained after undergoing a substantive examination of the warrant.

Lee broke into the warrant judge's office during the riot.

The Sarangjeil Presbyterian Church denied any connection, stating that they did not instruct Lee to take any specific actions, but the controversy is expected to continue.
