Previously, JTBC's 'Incident Room' reported on the incident where Mr. A had a dispute with the pub owner while smoking an electronic cigarette at a pub in Jungsan-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon on the 2nd. At the time, the female owner requested Mr. A, "You cannot smoke inside. Please go outside to smoke," but Mr. A reportedly responded that "an electronic cigarette is not a cigarette." When the owner called the police, Mr. A suddenly took the beer bottle he was drinking, poured beer on the owner, grabbed the owner's collar, dragged him, and threw a boiling fish cake stew pot, causing a disturbance. The owner escaped outside the store, while Mr. A calmly continued smoking the electronic cigarette inside the pub and then disappeared. The police arrived later, but Mr. A was already gone.

The injured owner, who was diagnosed with a four-week recovery period due to broken ribs, said, "When he hit me, I really thought I was going to die," and added, "When I lie down to sleep, that scene keeps coming to mind. Since I am alone when I open the store door, I never know when he might come and harm me," according to reports. During the police investigation, Mr. A reportedly stated that "I splashed alcohol because the owner was unfriendly," and "I threw the boiling pot because the fish cake stew tasted bad, so I threw it in the kitchen." Furthermore, he denied assaulting the owner. The Jungbu Police Station in Incheon plans to send the man to the prosecution soon on charges of special injury.
