Shin Se-byuck with the latest.
The police issued an arrest warrant late on Wednesday night for the suspect involved in the stabbing assault on Lee Jae-myung, the opposition Democratic Party leader.
The 67-year-old suspect, surnamed Kim, is charged with attempted murder.
On the same day, a search warrant was issued for the attacker’s residence and his real estate agency office in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do Province.
The DP chairman was stabbed in the neck on early on Tuesday during a visit to Busan, and underwent a two-hour jugular vein reconstruction surgery in the evening.
After spending around a day in intensive care, Lee was transferred to a general ward at Seoul National University Hospital for recovery on Wednesday afternoon.
On Wednesday, the Democratic Party convened an emergency assembly to discuss the party’s future operations.
After the meeting, they announced plans to establish a specialized response unit focusing on the recent assault on their party leader.
This team will closely monitor the progress of the investigation, address the circulation of false information, to tackle any secondary victimization, and develop strategies for future safety measures.
The DP leadership, during a separate meeting earlier on Wednesday, called the assault “a blatant challenge to democracy.“
“What happened yesterday was completely out of place in a democratic society. This act of terror on Lee represents a blatant challenge and a direct threat to democracy. We call on the authorities to conduct a swift and comprehensive investigation.“
As for the investigation into the stabbing incident, prosecutors have set up a team to look into the attack.
The National Police Agency has also formed a 69-member special investigation team to conduct a thorough and swift inquiry.
Separately, the police have also formed a dedicated protection team for key political figures, including party leaders, following the recent assault on Lee.
This is a departure from the usual protocol, where personal security teams are typically deployed for such individuals only during the official campaign period, starting 14 days before an election.
This year’s general elections begin their campaign period on March 28.
