Korean Executive Assaults Woman, Leaves Her Blinded

A high-profile executive from a Korean entertainment agency has been handed over to prosecutors following a brutal assault on a woman. The executive reportedly offered the intoxicated woman a ride, only to sexually assault her and then abandon her on a busy roadside in Seoul last August. The victim sustained severe injuries, including optic nerve damage that resulted in permanent blindness in her left eye.

Bystanders discovered the woman in a critical state, with one eye protruding. She has since lost vision in that eye and has undergone disability evaluation. The victim's family stated she now avoids leaving home and looking in mirrors due to the trauma. The assault's severity was compounded by the fact that the executive had a prior conviction for sexual crimes in 2021, for which he served prison time.

The Seoul Seocho Police Department has charged the executive with quasi-sexual assault and negligence causing bodily injury. This case highlights a disturbing pattern of violence and raises serious concerns about public safety and repeat offenses within the entertainment industry.
