Bro, Why Did You Have to Poop There?
Bro, why did you poop there? Why there?
Man in his 50s enters someone else’s house to relieve his stomach, fined 3 million won
A man in his 50s who secretly entered someone else’s house and defecated there was fined 3 million won for trespassing.
Here’s how the incident unfolded.
A씨는 강도상해죄로 징역 7년을 복역한 뒤 지난해 10월 출소했습니다.
After his release, he was placed under probation, during which he violated an order prohibiting him from drinking alcohol.
He was eventually tried again for that violation and sentenced to 10 months in prison, returning to prison in April this year.
And you noticed the poop story under the title, right?
Before being sent back to prison, A씨 left someone a rather extraordinary
New Year’s gift and walked away.
I can’t even imagine how much he must have valued that neighbor.
December 31 of last year, and suddenly his stomach hurt
At around 3:50 p.m. on December 31 last year, A씨 was driving through Boeun-eup, Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, on his way to meet his family.
But then, apparently, his stomach suddenly started hurting.
A씨 stopped his car and entered a nearby detached house.
A씨 crossed the yard, made his way to the front of the boiler room, and
defecated there.
He then left the scene.
Now, let me take a guess as to why he chose to
defecate right in front of the boiler room.
To help people from cities and people from other countries understand the situation,
I’ll include a background of a typical rural Korean farmhouse, imagined with AI.
For the sake of putting yourself in the situation, let’s say you are the person involved.
You’re literally seconds away from pooping your pants, so
you open the gate of
the first house you can see.
And, unbelievably, you see a bathroom right in front of you.
That has to be a bathroom.
It absolutely has to be a bathroom.

I’m saved. I’m saved.
I thought I was going to shit my pants at 50.

You sprint like your life depends on it.
One second of hesitation and it’s a full-blown disaster.
And then you fling the door open—

??!!?!!?!?!?!?
Oh… God.
From that point on, resistance is futile.
You just pull your pants down.
Under this scenario, defecating right in front of the boiler room suddenly makes sense.
The furious homeowner checked the CCTV
Some time later, the homeowner discovered feces covered with toilet paper in his house.
The culprit
apparently did have some intention of cleaning up like a gentleman, since he had brought toilet paper with him.
But
what good does that do after you’ve already taken a dump right in front of someone else’s boiler room?
Eventually, the furious homeowner checked the security camera (CCTV) and
saw a man enter and leave his property.
He then reported the incident to the police,
and A씨 was indicted on charges of trespassing.
The court imposed a 3 million won fine
Presiding Judge Park Gwang-min of the Cheongju District Court’s Criminal Division 1 Single-Judge Panel sentenced A씨 to a 3 million won fine.
Even if you went to the Oseong Hotel and used the bathroom, I don’t think it would cost 3 million won.
A씨 certainly used an expensive bathroom.
Think that’s excessive?
This is probably how the judge saw it.
The judge likely viewed it as a man who had already served seven years for robbery resulting in injury committing trespassing again.
And that is correct.
Whether the man was already halfway through pooping or not,
the fact remains that a person with a robbery-with-injury conviction entered someone else’s residence.
In the end,
A씨 is now serving his 10-month sentence while also receiving the news that he has been fined an additional 3 million won.
To sum it up:
7-year prison sentence for robbery resulting in injury → release → violation of an alcohol prohibition order while on probation → 10-month prison sentence → returned to prison in April 2026
And separately,
Entered someone else’s house and defecated on December 31, 2025 → CCTV footage reviewed → police notified → indicted for trespassing → fined 3 million won
These were two separate cases that proceeded independently.
We would also have to consider whether this constitutes concurrent crimes committed before or after the previous judgment became final, but does that really matter?
