Okay, so you won’t believe this, but that whole Choco Pie drama in South Korea is officially over! Basically, a security guard was accused of eating some office snacks – worth about a dollar! – and it went totally viral. Now, the prosecutors have officially closed the case. It’s just… wild that it even got this far, honestly.
On January 18, 2024, a security guard in his 40s took a Choco Pie and a custard bun from the office fridge while working his overnight shift. Instead of resolving the issue themselves, the company filed a police report, and he was formally charged with theft by prosecutors.
I’ve been following this case, and apparently the security guard kept telling the court he hadn’t done anything wrong. He said the delivery drivers actually told him it was fine to eat the snacks, and he really didn’t mean to steal anything. It’s just… he claimed he thought they were offering them!
The security guard has been found not guilty after a nearly two-year legal fight. The court decided there wasn’t enough evidence to prove he meant to commit a crime and pointed out flaws in how the case was first investigated.
Viral Choco Pie theft case comes to a close
Judges found that the company didn’t have a clear way to separate personal belongings from shared items at work. This, combined with delivery drivers regularly eating their own snacks during night shifts, led the security guard to mistakenly think the food was for everyone.
The incident quickly became a major topic of conversation in South Korea, widely discussed online as the “1,050-won case.” People were baffled as to why a simple argument over snacks costing less than a dollar resulted in police involvement and two court trials.
The lawyer for the security guard expressed gratitude to the public for their support in raising awareness about the case, as reported by The Korea Bizwire.
This result happened because people and the media cared and paid attention. The defendant felt terrible about having to go to trial simply for eating something when he was hungry early in the morning.
After prosecutors decided not to appeal to the Supreme Court, a surprising and complex legal case in South Korea has officially ended.
