The Bureau of Immigration (BI) said it arrested two South Korean nationals in Clark Freeport on July 26, 2025.
The agency said its Fugitive Search Unit (FSU) caught Ham Seong Hwan, 38, and Kim Jongbaek, 21, over fraud operations in a house inside the freeport.
Two other South Koreans, identified as Kim Taekyeong, 37, and Park Jinhyung, 36, were also arrested after being caught working in the said scheme which allegedly lures travelers through various platforms such as fake hotel websites with low rates, flights, and tour offers.
The FSU also arrested on the same day another South Korean identified as Park Youngjun, 43 along Jose Abad Santos Avenue inside Clark Freeport.
The suspect was tagged as an undesirable alien after an Interpol red notice was issued against him.
A warrant of arrest was issued against the foreigner by the Seongnam branch of Suwon District Court for fraud in violation of South Korean laws.
He allegedly created fraudulent accounts and subscription notifications on a major South Korean live-streaming platform, illegally earning 4.6 million Won or more than P190,000.
The operations were conducted in coordination with Korean authorities, the Philippine Air Force in Northern Luzon, and Clark Development Corporation.
The arrested aliens face deportation, according to the BI.
