Sun Haneul was found in an alley nearing the luxurious neighborhood where the Suns and the Yeongs lived. He was badly beaten together with his driver.
The police received an anonymous tip at twelve midnight about Haneul's state, and they rushed to his rescue. He was found face down and bleeding on the pavement. His face was disfigured and was barely breathing. He suffered head injuries and multiple bruises all over his body.
His driver had fewer fractures compared to Haneul, yet both were seriously knocked out.
Pieces of evidence were readily found at the scene. A baseball bat was used to make damage. The police thought it was a random robbery at first, but after finding all Haneul's valuables intact and inside the car, they suspected foul play.
The scene of the crime happen to have occurred in an alley between two private establishments, where one had a surveillance camera directly to where Haneul was assaulted.
