The Incheon Police Department's Anti-Corruption Economic Crime Investigation Team revealed today (21st) that they have begun an investigation following a report that firefighter A, belonging to the Incheon Western Fire Department, violated the solicitation prohibition law. In June, during the 'Wet Show' performance held at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium, A firefighter is suspected of having received 80 admission tickets from the sponsoring company.
