According to the "Chosun Ilbo" report, the South District Prosecutor's Office in Seoul established the "Virtual Assets Joint Investigation Team", an independent agency specializing in the investigation of virtual currency-related crimes. According to the report, the prosecutorial agency established a special organization to investigate cryptocurrencies because of the rapid increase in related criminal activities such as "virtual currency fraud", and the focus will first be on "kimchi coins" that are only traded in Korean won in South Korea.
