Due to the golf club attack, Mr. A sustained injuries requiring two weeks of medical treatment on his knee and thigh. The motorcycle, which was purchased on lease, was also damaged, resulting in repair costs amounting to several million won. Mr. A is undergoing psychiatric treatment alongside trauma care following the external injuries.


The student who suddenly attacked Mr. A was arrested on the spot by police nearby about 10 minutes later on charges including special assault. On the day of the incident, the perpetrator's father contacted Mr. A repeatedly apologizing. However, the problem arose when the father stopped responding and began ignoring messages. Ultimately, Mr. A lamented that he never received an apology from the perpetrator.


During the police investigation, the perpetrator reportedly stated that he assaulted "just without any reason."



Mr. A currently has a lawyer and mentioned that the student is not a first-time offender. He said, "The law firm advised me to demand a settlement amount between 70 million and 100 million won, but I suggested 30 million won as a lenient offer. However, the perpetrator's father said he would only pay 15 million won," adding, "(In the end) I plan to proceed with punishment without accepting any settlement."
