[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Taewon] The first trial court sentenced a man in his 20s, who was charged with assaulting his girlfriend and causing injury, to a suspended prison sentence.

On the 22nd, according to the legal community, Judge Kim Woo-jung of the Seoul Western District Court Criminal Division 8 sentenced Mr. A, who was charged with injury, to 4 months in prison with a 2-year suspension. The court stated the reason for sentencing as "the degree of injury was not minor, and no settlement was reached with the victim."

Earlier, Mr. A was brought to trial on charges of assault after allegedly attacking his girlfriend around 2:30 a.m. on June 5 last year in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, during an argument over their drinking situation while in a car. He caused injuries including a nasal bone fracture and concussion that required about 30 days of treatment. It was investigated that during the assault, Mr. A repeatedly struck her face, grabbed her hair to pull her out of the car, and then hit her entire body with fists and feet.
