Fooled Guests... A 'Suspicious Host' at a Gangnam Wedding Hall

A man in his 60s has been caught by the police for posing as a wedding host and stealing congratulatory money at a wedding hall in Gangnam, Seoul.

The Seoul Gangnam Police Station announced today (September 30) that they have apprehended and are investigating a man identified as A on theft charges.

A is accused of pretending to be a host to guests in the lobby of a wedding hall in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, around 3:48 PM on September 20 and stealing 1 million won in congratulatory money.

Investigations revealed that A has no relation to the bride and groom as a relative, family member, or acquaintance.

Taking advantage of lax management by the host side while directly receiving congratulatory money, A was caught on the scene by wedding hall staff who recognized the crime and handed him over to the police.

It was found that A, who had a criminal record for similar offenses, committed the crime again while on probation.

The police are investigating the specific details of the case and whether there are any additional crimes.
