[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] Amid the revelation of a story about a woman in her 20s who reportedly had her ear cut off at a club in Gangnam, Seoul, the club has strongly denied the claim, stating, "The woman's assertion is not true."

Earlier, the victim, Ms. A, posted on her SNS on the 11th, saying, "Yesterday, I was at club XX from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and during that time, someone cut my ear."

She explained, "It was cut horizontally all the way through, including the cartilage, and the back part of the ear was completely severed," adding, "When the hospital and police examined the wound, they said it was impossible for this to happen by falling or any other cause, and that unless it was cut with a sharp weapon like a knife or scissors, it could not have happened this way. They concluded that someone else inflicted the injury by cutting it."

She continued, "I reported it to the police and underwent emergency surgery at the ER. I am now in a situation where I need reconstructive ear surgery," and claimed, "The club officials did not provide care when I was assaulted and are saying they know nothing about the assault incident."

According to the police on the 12th, a report was received from a woman in her 20s, Ms. A, who used a club in Gangnam on the 10th, stating that her ear was cut. It is reported that Ms. A had used the club on the 9th.

In response, the club issued a statement on the 12th, saying, "Ms. A's claim is not true," and explained, "On the day of the incident, after Ms. A came outside the club, she did not realize that her ear was bleeding, so the guard team noticed it and called 119 (emergency services)."

They added, "At that time, Ms. A wanted to go home, so she signed a 'refusal of ambulance boarding form' and left with her party," and explained, "After reviewing the CCTV footage multiple times, we have not yet confirmed any scene inside the establishment where Ms. A was injured or assaulted by anyone."

They also stated, "There were several scenes where Ms. A fell at the table, so we are considering all possibilities for how the injury occurred and are actively cooperating with the police."

The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident by securing CCTV footage from inside and outside the club.
