Here is more details about the arrest from the Copenhagen Post which reveals that JTBC the Korean news organization who found the tablet computer the opened up the entire South Korean Presidential scandal are the ones that tracked her down:
Five South Korean nationals were arrested in Aalborg last night under suspicion they are illegally staying in the country.
However, this is no ordinary case, and it has grabbed the attention of the international media.
One of those under custody is Chung Yoo-ra, 20, the daughter of a confidant of South Korean President Park Geun-hye, who a special investigation team want to question in connection with the leader’s impeachment.
In recent days, South Korea’s foreign ministry has been making great efforts to track her down, enlisting the help of the German authorities and even Interpol.
But in the end, it was thanks to a number of South Korean journalists at JTBC TV that the Danish police were able to find her in the north Jutland city last night at 19:00.
Questionable paperwork
It is believed that Chung had the necessary visa to partake in equestrian training in Germany, but that the ministry has subsequently tried to invalidate it.

It seems that Chung was pretty incompetent in regards to hiding considering she was traveling with an entourage of Koreans and staying at luxury hotels. The fact she was on the run with a one-year child further made her stand out. She stood out enough that the JTBC reporter was able to find her. What will be interesting is the evidence that the ROK authorities have to produce to show she was in Denmark illegally.
When Chung does end up back in South Korea it will be interesting to see if her arrest cracks her mom, Choi Soon-sil to give up whatever information she knows that could implicate former President Park Geun-hye in any corruption. It seems that the ROK authorities working so hard to arrest Chung is an indication they don’t have a lot of solid evidence yet to prove corruption.
