[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] A famous composer who composed the popular song "Hapjeong Station Exit 5" by broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk was summarily indicted on charges of assaulting a junior and was sentenced to a fine.


According to TV Chosun on the 7th, the Seoul Southern District Court issued a summary order imposing a fine of 500,000 won on composer A, who was summarily indicted on assault charges on February 7.


A was previously brought to trial on charges of assaulting junior composer Lee at the Music Copyright Association office in October last year.


Both serving as directors of the Music Copyright Association, the two were reportedly in conflict over whom to recommend as the new president of the Korean Popular Music Writers Association at the time.


A filed a complaint against Lee for assault at the Gangseo Police Station in Seoul. Subsequently, the prosecution summarily indicted A at the end of November last year.



Lee claimed, "When I did not support the new president recommended by A, A got angry and assaulted me. There were also three witnesses to the assault," it is known.
