[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] A petition posted on the Blue House National Petition Board is appealing for punishment after a man claimed that his father was assaulted by a black belt newspaper reporter, resulting in blindness in his right eye.


On the 12th, a petition titled "My father was subjected to one-sided assault and became disabled due to blindness in his right eye" was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board.


The petitioner identified himself as the victim's son and stated, "My father was subjected to one-sided assault and became disabled due to blindness in his right eye," adding, "Several months have passed, yet there has been no hospital treatment cost coverage or apology from the perpetrator. I earnestly request strict punishment for the offender."


According to the petition, the perpetrator occasionally visited the store run by the petitioner’s mother with acquaintances to drink but did not properly pay for the drinks. When the petitioner’s father told him in May last year, "Do not come to the store," the perpetrator allegedly assaulted him unilaterally.


The petitioner claimed, "Even while my father was collapsed, the perpetrator struck him multiple times with his fists," and "At that time, blood was coming from his eye, and the perpetrator verbally abused my father, who was clutching his eye."


He further explained the current situation, saying, "My father has now been assessed as disabled, and the perpetrator is awaiting trial under non-custodial indictment," and disclosed the perpetrator’s personal information.

The petitioner described the perpetrator as "a political reporter for 00 Newspaper, whose name appears on the internet," and added, "He is a master instructor of the International Dangsoo-do Federation and a black belt in various martial arts."


He emphasized, "A person who should be a role model in society used martial arts as a weapon to ruin another person's life," and "Such a person must be severely punished to thoroughly realize that violence is terrifying."


The petitioner also released closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage recorded at the scene through an online community.



Meanwhile, the petition has surpassed 100 preliminary consents and is currently set to private status for administrator review.
