Regarding the fact that this happened in the middle of Gangnam, where many people come and go, some surveillance cameras that captured the situation at the time said that A (female victim) throwing a cigarette butt was assault. There was also an opinion that it may have been the cause.

In response to this, A said to the online community, "I agreed that 'I' did throw the cigarette butt, which is currently being discussed, will be broadcast. But I didn't throw it at the friend of the perpetrator."

At the same time, she emphasized, "Even if that were the case, the fact that the perpetrator assaulted me would not change, and it cannot be justified."

At the time of the incident, the three men approached A and persistently asked for her contact information. She said, "I have a boyfriend" and "I am married," but the men did not back down. However, one man ran a distance of 5 meters and suddenly threw a punch at her, she fainted and fell down on the spot.

A's coat was stained with blood after being hit in the face, and several bones in her face were broken.

However, the perpetrators left the scene without taking any action against A, and went to another pub to continue drinking.

A citizen who witnessed the situation at the scene was astonished when he explained the situation, saying, "He ran about five meters and hit her with a full swing. He ran from afar and hit her like she was a punching machine."

It was revealed that A, an aspiring actress from the drama and film department, had broken a bone in her face and was awaiting surgery to insert an artificial bone, and that she was in distress, complaining of 'frequent nightmares' and undergoing psychiatric treatment.

The perpetrator, B, who was arrested by the police on suspicion of causing injury, was reported to have clarified his position that he was "frustrated."
