[Anchor] A man in his 50s has been apprehended by police for persistently harassing the family of professional baseball player Yang Hyeon-jong. What is the story behind this?
The incident began with a minor parking dispute between neighbors.
The man, identified as A, is accused of loitering around the home of Yang Hyeon-jong's family in Yangnim-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju, since March. He allegedly monitored the family and damaged promotional posters attached to their wall by spitting food on them more than 10 times.
An investigation revealed that A, who runs a business in the neighborhood, had been in conflict with the family over parking issues in the alleyway.
Considering the risk of recidivism, police have issued emergency measures, including a restraining order prohibiting A from approaching within 100 meters of the victims and banning him from contacting them.
However, it has been reported that the victims, Yang's family, do not wish to press charges against A, as he is a neighbor who has operated a business in the area for a long time; they are only requesting that he refrain from such behavior in the future.
