A said that at the time of the incident, he received a call from his daughter saying, “(While her friends went into the convenience store) I was sitting alone at a table in front of the convenience store, and a man at the next table started cursing and picking a fight, asking ‘Why are you staring?’” He added, “I told her not to talk back and to stay still, and to leave the spot when her friends came, but she was ultimately assaulted.”


According to A, two men in their mid-30s and one woman confronted his daughter, and when the woman in the group started hitting first, one of the men brutally assaulted her. A said, “(My daughter) said she lost consciousness because she was hit so much, and when she opened her eyes, people had gathered around them like in a movie.”


Photos released with the post show that the daughter suffered injuries such as flesh torn off above her lip and hair pulled out. Regarding his daughter’s health condition, he explained, “She is vomiting, and she was hit so hard on her head and stomach that dark bruises formed,” adding, “She had a hole in the upper part of her lip and received 15 stitches.”


He continued, “Another friend was hit while having dental prosthetics and her mouth was completely injured; her face was swollen from being hit so intensely,” and added, “My daughter’s friend said, ‘(My daughter) was hurt more and I was taking care of her, so I didn’t even realize I was hurt.’”

A said, “Both my daughter and I are suffering tremendous mental shock. It reminded me of the Busan spinning kick man. They kicked her head and face and tried to hit her with a chair, but when some young men nearby intervened, the perpetrators assaulted those men as well and fled.”


The case is currently under police investigation, and it is reported that the identities of the perpetrators and CCTV footage have been secured. However, he is looking for video footage taken close to the incident and wrote, “If anyone has videos or any evidence, please contact us.”


He also said, “There was someone who blocked the chair when the perpetrators tried to hit my daughter with it, and I really want to find that person to thank them,” adding, “I am truly grateful to the store owner and part-time workers in Bongmyeong-dong, Yuseong, Daejeon, who helped my daughter and her friends.”


Netizens who read the story expressed strong reactions such as “Who would dare go outside now,” “They must be caught and severely punished,” and “The world is going crazy.” One netizen also commented, “These incidents happen frequently because of lenient punishments.”



Meanwhile, in response to comments suggesting “Wasn’t your daughter the cause of this first?” A clarified, “(The perpetrators) started by verbally abusing my daughter, who was alone from the beginning, with obscene language and sexually humiliating remarks toward her friends.”
