Foreign Student Charged with Assault and Business Interference in Seoul: Fine and Visa Maintained

Law Firm Dongju 법무법인 동주 

A Chinese student living in Seoul on a D-4 visa was involved in an incident at a local restaurant after drinking with friends. When staff asked his group to lower their voices, a misunderstanding escalated, and the client grabbed an employee by the collar, causing a disturbance. The incident not only led to an assault charge but also an additional business interference charge, as other customers left the premises due to the disruption.

Dongju Law Firm quickly intervened, guiding the client to apologize, submit a reflection letter, and pursue settlement with the employee and the restaurant owner. The client also completed a preventive education program and provided supporting documents from his school highlighting his good conduct.

✅The result? The court issued a ₩1,000,000 fine via summary order, and immigration authorities, after reviewing the mitigating factors, allowed him to keep his visa and continue his studies in Korea.
