5月27日、ソウル西部にあるLGエレクトロニクスのオフィスで男性2人が刺される事件が発生した。容疑者は協力会社の従業員で、現在警察に身柄を拘束されている。
警察および消防当局によると、午前11時18分に通報があり、江西区にある麻谷（マゴク）ビジネスセンターの2階で、腕や肋骨に負傷をした50代と40代の被害者2人が発見された。2人は病院に搬送されたが、命に別条はない。
容疑者は現場から逃走したが、その後デジタルメディアシティ駅付近で逮捕された。本人は出頭するために警察署へ向かっていたと供述している。
取り調べに対し、容疑者は当日、解雇を通知されたことによる突発的な怒りから犯行に及んだと説明した。また、被害者らから繰り返し嫌がらせを受けていたと主張しているが、被害者側はこれを否定し、業務量の問題を理由に協力会社の代表に配置転換を求めただけだと話している。
警察は逮捕状の請求を検討しており、食い違う供述を明らかにするため、今後さらに捜査を進める方針である。
X（旧Twitter）での反応は、主にソウルのLGエレクトロニクスでの刺傷事件と容疑者拘束の経過に関する報告が中心となっている。その中には、下請け企業の労働環境や嫌がらせの問題と結びつける投稿や、犯人の画像が共有されている投稿も見受けられる。
