According to Yonhap News, the Jongno Police Station in Seoul reported that the suspect, identified as A, was apprehended on charges of robbery and assault.
A is accused of entering Kim's home around 9 p.m. the previous day, demanding valuables and assaulting the residents.
At the time of the incident, Kim was at home with another woman. The two managed to escape when A's attention waned and sought help from nearby citizens.
Reports indicate that both women sustained injuries, including fractures and bruises, due to A's assault.
Police arrested A around midnight after he turned himself in approximately three hours after the crime.
Authorities are investigating whether the crime was premeditated and are considering applying for an arrest warrant for A.
This incident follows a series of similar robberies targeting celebrities' homes. In November of last year, a man in his 30s broke into Nana's residence armed with a weapon, threatening her and her mother. Additionally, in April of last year, a robbery occurred at comedian Park Na-rae's home, where valuables worth millions were stolen, drawing significant public attention.
