first trial was held against Seok-mo, who was found to be the real mother of a 3-year-old girl who was found dead in an empty house in Gumi. Seok admitted to the charges of trying to hide the body of the child who died, but still denied giving birth and swapping children.

Seok, who got off the convoy, showed up at Gimcheon Jiwon wearing a suit and a mask.
Seok, who bowed his head, went into the courtroom without saying anything to the reporters' pouring questions.
[Suk Mo: (If you have any regrets, please just say one word. What are you unhappy with?)… … .]
Mr. Suk still denied the fact of giving birth and the alleged inducement of underage drugs.
Seok, who stubbornly denies the fact of giving birth, admitted to all charges of attempting to conceal the body.
The prosecution suggested that the identification tag attached to the newborn's ankle was separated as evidence of replacement, but the specific method was not specified.
Mr. Suk's lawyer requested that time is needed because the private lawyer resigned, and there was not enough preparation for the trial, so the first trial ended in 10 minutes.
[Attorney Seo An-kyo/Seok: Personal thoughts or things that are of personal interest should be excluded as a working person.] As
Seok denies the allegation of looting, fierce court battles are expected to be inevitable in the future. It's possible.
In front of the court, five members of the Korea Child Abuse Prevention Association held a demonstration with pickets and billboards from early in the morning and urged severe punishment.
