▲ Men in the assault videos of women in Japan
The police set up a full-fledged investigation into the alleged assault of a Korean male who was identified as the perpetrator in relation to the so-called "Hongdae Japanese Women's Assault" video.
An official from Seoul's Mapo Police Station, who investigates the case, said, "We are reporting the man for assault, and we are also investigating insults."
The police also called a victim of Japanese woman A in the video the second day.
As in the first investigation, Mr. A stated that the Korean male B had followed his group and refused to pursue him.
The police reported that Mr. A complained of dizziness during the investigation and called an ambulance to take him to the hospital.
The video, which was released on SNS on the 23rd, depicted a man on the street threatening the filmmaker and expressing language and swearing against Japanese and female.
In the video in question, a picture of a man grabbing a fallen woman's hair, which appears to be a woman, also came up with controversy.
The police called a Japanese woman A and a Korean man B, who appeared in the video, to investigate each day.
After completing the investigation, B insisted the reporters to report that "(the filmed images) were manipulated and never assaulted."
Korean netizens criticized the man for attacking Japanese who visited Korea even in a stiff relationship between Korea and Japan.
A netizen wrote, "I'm hard to come to Korea, but it's not," he said. "You should thoroughly investigate and punish. It's a country embarrassment."
In addition, Abe (Japanese Prime Minister) is ugly, and what are the sins of Japanese people?
Criticisms have been posted, such as "made a civic street in Japan" and "scratches in nationality."
