[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] A man in his 20s who assaulted his girlfriend using martial arts techniques has been sentenced to prison.


On the 7th, the Jeju District Court Criminal Division 3 (Judge Kang Ran-ju) announced that A (27), who was tried on charges of injury, was sentenced to 10 months in prison.


The court stated, "Considering the victim's agreement, the circumstances of the crime, and the situation after the crime comprehensively," but added, "Due to the very bad nature of the crime, a prison sentence is imposed," explaining the sentencing rationale.


Earlier, A, a martial arts coach, was accused of hitting the victim's face with his fist and using a martial arts technique to tightly choke the victim's neck with both hands from behind in front of his girlfriend B's residence, whom he had been dating for four months, around 11:30 p.m. on July 31 last year.


According to the investigation, A, who was intoxicated at the time and lying on the street, hit the victim who was trying to help him up without any particular reason.



A was undergoing trial for special threats against a former girlfriend, had received a first trial sentence, and had appealed, and it was found that he had previously been sentenced to prison for similar crimes.
