Taekwondo Instructor Detained Over Suspected Assault: Allegedly Kicks Girlfriend in Public Street in Goyang

In a shocking turn of events, a taekwondo instructor in his 30s has been accused of assaulting his girlfriend in Goyang, Gyeonggi, on Aug. 2. The incident was captured on surveillance camera footage, but the captions for the screen capture were not provided in the article.

The assault resulted in injuries to the victim, but no further details about the investigation or the outcome of the incident have been provided. The article does not specify whether the taekwondo instructor has been charged or punished for the assault.

This is not the first time such an incident has occurred at taekwondo-related events. Previous incidents involving assault have been reported, including three high schoolers who were suspended for sexual assault at a taekwondo camp.

The issue of dating violence and stalking remains a concern in South Korea, with laws in place to end such behaviour, but victims often find themselves vulnerable. There have been cases of stalking and drunk driving, with a man being arrested for such behaviour.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time a high-profile individual has been involved in an assault incident. In 2024, PPP lawmaker Bae Hyun-jin underwent surgery on his skull after an assault incident.

The suspect in a separate murder case in Goyang, Gyeonggi, who attacked a Taekwondo instructor, has been identified as a 22-year-old man named Lee, who has since been arrested.
