Shin Young-hee, a senior judge in charge of warrants at the Seoul Central District Court, rejected the warrant on the 4th, saying, "It is difficult to admit the reason for arresting the suspect at this stage, considering the need to guarantee the suspect's right to defend himself, the fact that there were circumstances that could be feared to run away or destroy evidence since the rejection of the arrest warrant request (January 25), the attitude toward investigation and interrogation, and housing and family relations." The arrest warrant for Park, the head of the agency who is suspected of conspiring, was also rejected again.

According to News 1, Lim Hye-dong, who came out of the court at around 11:10 a.m. after the screening, boarded a police convoy without answering questions from reporters such as "Do you admit the charges," "Did you receive 400 million won?" and "Did you get assaulted by Kim Ha-sung?"

Im Hye-dong is accused of receiving 400 million won twice in the name of a settlement for the assault after having a physical fight with Kim Ha-sung at a bar in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, in March 2021. Kim Ha-sung filed a complaint with the police on November 27 last year, claiming that he was constantly threatened by Lim Hye-dong.

Meanwhile, Lim Hye-dong was accused of stealing hundreds of millions of won from professional baseball player Ryu Hyun-jin (37, Hanwha Eagles) through a similar method, but was excluded from the reason for applying for an arrest warrant, News 1 reported.
