The son of a famous celebrity couple has been sent to the prosecution on charges of assaulting and threatening his wife during their marriage.
According to Newsis on the 30th, Guri Police Station in Gyeonggi Province sent Mr. A (31) to the Uijeongbu District Prosecutors' Office on September 30 on charges including violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes (such as assaulting a driver), threats, and obstruction of business.
Mr. A is accused of hitting his then-wife, Ms. B (28), in the face while she was trying to drive in Gyomun-dong area, Guri, on the morning of September 29 last year. He also allegedly took her phone to prevent her from calling the police and threatened her.
Mr. A and Ms. B finalized their divorce on March 5 this year after a mediation agreement was reached.
In an interview with Newsis, Ms. B stated, "He had a bad temper and tendency to be physically aggressive when were dating and during our marriage. At the time, I endured it because we were engaged and going to get married anyway. I didn't want to make him a criminal or go to the hospital."
She added, "I wish I could go back to before I met him. I don't even care about what happened to me, but what my family had to go through was too severe."
Mr. A's side countered, "Sometimes, you might quarrel and fight a little with your girlfriend. Nothing has been decided yet."
Below is the translation of the chat:
Ms. B: We were moving boxes. He was completely useless and I literally wanted to kill him, what should I do? We were arguing because he was upset that I was treating him disrespectfully, and then he hit me. I was wearing glasses, and he hit me on the face between my head and my eye. When I said I would report the assault, he took my phone away."
Friend: Does he do that often?
Ms. B: No. But he's been like this lately, though this is the first time he hit me.
Friend: No matter how angry you are, you can't hit someone. Tell him that.
Ms. B: Exactly. I haven't said anything yet because we still have the moving stuff. But I'm going to tell him properly.
Friend: Yes, finish moving first, and then talk to him seriously.
Ms. B: We're still in the middle of moving a lot of stuff.
Friend: Take care of the move well, and then talk to him seriously about the physical aggression.
Ms. B: He told me he hit me because I deserved it. I had to drive the car after moving some boxes, but I hadn't taken my morning medication because it makes me sleepy. He started screaming at me, telling me to take my medicine and saying I was crazy for not taking it.
Friend: No, you didn't do anything to deserve getting hit. That's a dangerous thing to say.
Ms. B: I asked him why he was acting like that when I hadn't taken the medicine so I could drive, and he said it was because I was being disrespectful again. He kept telling me to take my medicine and then said he was going to call a chauffeur, even though it's only a 5-minute drive. I was so upset and frustrated that I took the medicine and just drove myself since it was close by. He was afraid I would report him, so he took my phone away, and when he grabbed it, he twisted my wrist, so my right wrist hurts now.
