According to the legal community on the 12th, Judge Park Min of the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Division 8 sentenced A (30) to one year in prison with a two-year suspension for special injury charges.

The court stated, "The victim has a large scar on the face due to this crime, and aftereffects are expected, so the degree of damage is not light," but also explained the sentencing reason by considering, "It appears the crime was committed impulsively while intoxicated, and the victim does not wish for the defendant to be criminally punished."

Earlier, A was brought to trial on charges of injuring high school classmate B by swinging a soju bottle while drinking at a bar in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, in September last year. It was investigated that A committed the crime in a fit of anger after B mentioned A’s school violence history and said things like "Why do you live like that?" B reportedly suffered injuries requiring two weeks of medical treatment due to A’s violent act.
