On the 10th, the Nonhyeon Police Station in Incheon announced that they had applied for a pre-trial detention warrant against A, a man in his 30s and former bodybuilder, on charges of joint injury.

A police official stated, "Considering the seriousness of the case, we applied for a pre-trial detention warrant for A," adding, "We plan to conduct further investigations after securing custody."

A’s warrant hearing (pre-trial suspect interrogation) was scheduled to be held at 2:30 p.m. on the same day at the Incheon District Court, presided over by Judge Lee Gyu-hoon, who is in charge of warrants. The decision on detention is expected later in the afternoon.

A appeared at the hearing but reportedly remained silent with his head bowed when asked by reporters outside the courtroom questions such as "Do you still think it was mutual assault?" and "Do you have anything to say to the victim?"

A is accused of repeatedly assaulting a woman in her 30s, B, around 11 a.m. on May 20 at an apartment complex parking lot in Namdong-gu, Incheon.

A reportedly used fists and feet to assault B during an argument over parking, and it was confirmed that A’s wife also participated in the assault.

At the time, B needed to urgently take her sick child to the hospital, but A’s vehicle was blocking B’s car. B requested via phone that A move his vehicle. When A appeared after 30 minutes, B demanded an apology. The argument escalated, and A began grabbing B by the hair and assaulting her. A’s pregnant wife also joined in.

B received a hospital diagnosis of six weeks of treatment due to injuries including fractured ribs caused by the assault from A and his wife. A is a former bodybuilder with multiple awards in domestic bodybuilding competitions and is currently involved in trainer-related activities.

The police are investigating not only A but also his wife on charges of joint injury, both currently under non-custodial investigation.

Additionally, according to JTBC’s 'Hanbly' broadcast on the 6th, A was found to have committed secondary harm by obtaining personal information about B’s father-in-law and sending messages such as "I am waiting in front of your house."

However, A reportedly claims mutual assault, stating, "My pregnant wife was assaulted and nearly suffered a miscarriage."
