The rep continued, "A total of 19 people have been arrested. 7 of them are Korean. They have been arrested and are under investigation for breaking the immigration law (absence of passports, overstaying their tourist visas, selling goods when they're not allowed to, etc.). It's against the law to engage in other acts than touring with the tourist visa. They are under investigation as they have violated this part. They are still in custody."
