Last summer, a man in his 50s made a commotion in the subway on his way to work.



[Why are you doing this, XX? XX bastard.]



I took off my shoes, slapped another passenger in the face, and threw an umbrella, but I got into an argument with a passenger who pointed out that he wasn't wearing a mask, and he even messed up.



[(You do what you have to do. It doesn't matter.) It's against the law.]



Earlier this year, this man was sentenced to one year and eight months in prison by the court.



Even though strict punishment was imposed on the 'mask riot,' similar crimes continued.

The man even shows his weapon to officials who ask them to wear a mask, and then gets into the car.



He hit the officials who blocked him and ran away, but in the end, he was arrested.



A man in his 20s who cursed a taxi driver for asking to wear a mask and assaulted a police officer who was dispatched was also arrested.

[Emergency room drinking patient: (wear a mask.) Oh, don't talk about it.]



Even in the hospital, he says that having to fight with patients who refuse to wear a mask every day is the most difficult thing.



[Son Yu-jin/Emergency room nurse: There are many cases where I stop by the emergency room for a while and then get confirmed later. (Looking at the patient who refuses to wear a mask) What is it that we are working so hard right now (...)]



From January to last month, there were 805 cases of 'mask riots' that were reported to the police from January to last month, of which 10 person was arrested.



The police said they will take strict action against the no-mask riots from the initial stage of the investigation.
