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

A man in his 60s has been caught by 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 currently investigating individual A on theft charges.

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

Investigations revealed that individual A had no familial, relative, or acquaintance relationship with the couple getting married.

Taking advantage of lax management by the host side, A was directly collecting congratulatory money when wedding hall staff, who noticed the crime, caught him at the scene and handed him over to the police.

It was found that A, who had a prior record for similar crimes, committed the offense again while on probation.

Police are investigating the specific details of the incident and whether there are any additional crimes.
