President Lee Jae-myung visited the Incheon Police Agency on the 13th and requested a prompt and strict investigation and follow-up measures for the knife attack incident at a large supermarket in Incheon.

On this day, President Lee visited Incheon as soon as he arrived in Seoul after completing a welcoming ceremony for the Northern Sea Route test operation and an encouraging visit to the HMM headquarters at the unveiling ceremony in Busan, and received a report on the incident, investigation status, and victim's condition from Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency Commissioner Yoo Seung-ryeol, said Ki-hong Ki, senior secretary for public relations and communications at the Blue House, in a written briefing.

Attending the event were Acting National Police Agency Commissioner Kim Jong-cheol, Incheon Mayor Park Chan-dae, Presidential Chief of Staff Kang Hoon-sik, Blue House Policy Director Ha Jun-kyung, and Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs Han Chan-sik.

President Lee ordered, “Take special measures against violent crimes that cause serious damage to innocent citizens and the socially vulnerable and threaten the peaceful daily lives of the people.”

He also said, “Protecting the lives and safety of the people is the most basic and important responsibility of the police,” and asked, “Please prepare effective measures to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents and focus all of your capabilities on preventing and quickly responding to violent crimes.”

In addition, taking this incident as an opportunity, we thoroughly inspected the overall management and supervision system for electronic anklet wearers and prepared measures to fundamentally improve the problems revealed, while also calling for special attention to necessary measures such as treatment, recovery, and personal protection of victims.
