Last month on the 30th, Hwang was booked by the police on charges of assault and property damage after assaulting two men in their 20s who were filming him with a mobile phone on the street in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, seizing the phone, and throwing it on the ground. However, since the victims submitted a letter of withdrawal of charges, the assault charges were not prosecuted due to lack of public prosecution rights.
