Public backlash prompts prosecution to reopen art director death case

The prosecution has reopened an investigation into the death of a film art director after surveillance footage of a group assault and the suspects’ release without detention sparked nationwide outrage. Kim Chang-min, a 40-year-old film art director, was declared brain-dead last October after being attacked by multiple men at a restaurant in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, while dining with his son.
