Assault Case Involving a Foreign Student – Complaint Withdrawn After Settlement, Case Closed Without Prosecution (Vietnam D-4 Visa)

Assault Case Involving a Foreign Student – Complaint Withdrawn After Settlement, Case Closed Without Prosecution (Vietnam D-4 Visa)

Law Firm Dongju 법무법인 동주 

A Vietnamese international student in Korea under a D-4 (language study) visa was investigated for assault after a fight broke out during a drinking gathering with friends.

The argument escalated under the influence of alcohol, and the client impulsively struck another participant. Although the injury was minor, the incident quickly turned into a criminal assault case, threatening the student’s visa and future academic plans in Korea.

Dongju Law Firm’s defense strategy included:

• Promptly contacting the victim to clarify the misunderstanding.

• Conveying a sincere apology and willingness to compensate.

• Negotiating an amicable settlement and securing the victim’s withdrawal of the complaint.

• Demonstrating the client’s remorse and clean prior record to the prosecution.

✅ The result?
After the victim formally withdrew the complaint, the prosecution issued a “no right to prosecute” (공소권 없음) decision. The case was swiftly closed, and the client was able to continue studies and maintain visa status without further legal consequences.
