Man in his 30s arrested for assault in central Gangnam... Victim claims "retaliation after actress's power abuse exposure"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] An indiscriminate assault incident occurred in Gangnam, Seoul, prompting the police to launch an investigation.

According to the police on the 31st, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul has booked and is investigating a man in his 30s, Mr. A, on charges of assault.

Mr. A is accused of assaulting a man in his 30s, Mr. B, who was in a car in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, at around 2:50 a.m. on the 28th. The victim reportedly raised suspicions that actress Ms. C had abused her power at an acquaintance's pub.

The victim is known to have claimed that "after exposing Ms. C's abuse of power, a gang was mobilized to carry out retaliatory assault," but the police stated, "Mr. A has been confirmed not to be a gang member under surveillance." Ms. C refuted through some media outlets that she only expressed her grievances to Mr. A and never gave any orders.

The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident.
