[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] A man in his 20s who recklessly went to the house where his ex-girlfriend lives and knocked on the front door was sentenced to a fine.

On the 5th, Kim Hyungtae, Chief Judge of Criminal Division 3 at Daegu District Court, announced that he sentenced university student A (26), who was charged with trespassing for unlawfully going to the front door of his ex-girlfriend's house, to a fine of 1 million won.

The court stated the reason for sentencing, saying, "Although there was no agreement with the victim, considering that he apologized and asked for forgiveness during the investigation process, and that he did not distribute photos, among other factors."

A was brought to trial on charges of disturbing the peace of residence by opening the shared front door of a one-room building in Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk, at around 1:10 p.m. on July 28 last year and knocking on the door of the house where his ex-girlfriend B was temporarily staying.

The one-room apartment where A knocked was a friend of B’s house, and it was investigated that A already knew the password to the shared entrance. It was also revealed that A entered the shared front door and went up to the entrance around 6 a.m., about seven hours before the incident.

Additionally, A is also charged with threatening to distribute photos and videos taken together with B.
