Police have launched an investigation into an incident in Seongju, North Gyeongsang Province, in which eggs and plastic bottles were thrown at Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn as he explained the reasons for the selection of candidate sites for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system.
On July 15, 2016, Prime Minister Hwang visited Seongju, North Gyeongsang Province, to persuade residents opposed to the THAAD deployment. However, residents attending the briefing violently hurled eggs and plastic bottles at Hwang.
After being hit with a raw egg, Prime Minister Hwang fled to his car. However, residents surrounded his car, preventing him from moving for six hours.
On July 16, police announced that they would form a dedicated investigation team at the North Gyeongsang Provincial Police Agency to track down those involved in the violent acts.
A police official said, "We will investigate based on the collected evidence to determine whether the eggs and plastic bottles were dangerous and who the perpetrators were. We won't know which legal provisions apply until we continue our investigation."
Even if the residents' actions were intended to criticize the government, they constitute "violence using a tool," and punishment is expected to be inevitable.
There have been numerous cases in the past of prime ministers, former presidents, and presidential candidates being pelted with eggs.
In 1991, during the Kim Young-sam administration, students pelted Jeong Won-sik with flour and eggs during his final lecture at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies before he became prime minister.
At the time, a large number of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies students who participated in the incident were indicted and sentenced to prison for violating the law on the punishment of violent acts.

According to China Youth Network on July 18, 2016, South Korean Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn visited Seongju County, North Gyeongsang Province, the site of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system, on July 15, 2016, but was met with fierce criticism from local residents.
According to South Korea's KBS TV, Prime Minister Hwang visited the area to explain the reasons for the THAAD deployment and the government's support policy for residents. However, upon the Prime Minister's arrival, local residents reacted with fierce opposition. Instead of providing an explanation, some residents yelled, "Who told you to deploy such a thing?" and threw raw eggs and plastic bottles at the Prime Minister.
Approximately 3,000 local residents attended the briefing. Prime Minister Huang was protected by umbrellas provided by security guards and evacuated to the government building. The suit he was wearing was stained with egg.
The car carrying the prime minister was then surrounded by residents, and he was unable to move.
