In Korea, the crime of assault is an anti-will penalty. So, as long as the settlement are made with the victim, the police do not send the case to the prosecutor's office. In other words, the case is self-terminated(dropped) from the police.


The foreigner, who was a businessman in Korea, had a young Korean girlfriend. His relationship with her was fine. However, when he was about to end the relationship and break up, there was a big argument at her house. Since the men are bigger than women, they had a little physical fight, but the woman eventually got bruises. After the breakup, she filed a complaint with the police against the foreigner for an assault.

When the businessman met Brandon Kim, he was very afraid of being fined for this criminal case. It's not just because the money will be spent for fine, but because if he is sentenced to more than a certain standard, he can no longer do business in Korea. Brandon Kim reassured the businessman and asked him to calmly respond to the police investigation.


When Brandon Kim talked to the complainant after being questioned at the police station, the complainant woman demanded money as expected. The complainant woman knew the businessman had a lot of money and demanded a lot of money from the beginning. However, Brandon Kim found an appropriate settlement amount and they were able to reach an agreement on a satisfactory amount.


Eventually, the businessman's case was dropped at the police investigation stage.
