though the police investigation is underway and no conclusion has been reached, unconfirmed content and unfounded suspicions continue to pour. There are also cases where such people are hurting them.
Reporter Jo Yoon-ha met the victim and listened to the story.
<Reporter> On the
25th of last month, Mr. Kim was in a car accident near Banpo Bridge in Seoul.
The drunk driving vehicle hit Mr. Kim's car.
[Kim/Fake News Victim: I was drinking coffee in the car and talking on my cell phone. But suddenly there was a thumping sound... . I couldn't communicate normally because (the partner) was intoxicated.]
Since then, a post has been posted on an Internet community.
It was an eyewitness account of "I saw six police cars dispatched from the Han River" on the day Kim was in an accident, and it was a search vehicle that came to find the missing Son Jung-min.
Kim also learned from this article that there was a case of the disappearance of Mr. Son right after the time he was in the accident.
Thinking that he should correct the misunderstanding, Mr. Kim posted a post with evidence saying that he was the person involved in the accident, and that he was dispatched to the police related to a drinking accident that had nothing to do with Mr. Son's case.
But it was a constant attack that came back.
"What's the reason to go ahead and cover up the case?"Even the photos related to the insurance filing that Mr. Kim uploaded as evidence were manipulated, and he closed his eyes and ears to explain Mr. Kim.
[Kim/Fake News Victim: Despite the fact that I released all the insurance documents and the parts that I could disclose, I constantly created suspicions... .]
A YouTuber even called Kim'an Internet public opinion manipulation force trying to conceal the search for Mr. Son'.
[YouTuber: It was a fake image that was synthesized in the end. Who the hell would he have done by lying and compounding?]
Mr. Kim says he is tired of refuting.
[Kim/Fake News Victim: It's easy to criticize without grounds, but people didn't stab it with a knife, but I think it's almost like killing.]
This is not the only fake news that exceeded degrees.
One far right person even made an absurd claim that the soul of the late Son Jung-min appeared on the SBS report screen yesterday (17th).

But this was a reflection of the coffee shop envelope brought by the reporters at the time.

In addition the police senior executives hand Rumors, such as being the uncle of Mr. A's friend, are still spreading on the Internet, even though it turns out that it is not true.
