The bereaved family filed a lawsuit against Han in March, demanding compensation of over 900 million won, including Mr. A's expected income and consolation money.

Han was arrested and indicted on charges of murder for repeatedly beating employee Mr. A's head and body dozens of times and stabbing a plastic rod into his body at the sports center he operated in December 2021, causing organ rupture and death.

Han was sentenced to 25 years in prison in the first trial, and the sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court in April.
