70-Year-Old Fined for Pouring Kimchi Broth on Debtor Over Unpaid Loan

A 70-something individual who visited a debtor's office and poured kimchi broth over them for failing to repay money borrowed years ago has been sentenced to a fine.

Jeonju District Court Judge Park Sung-soo, presiding over Criminal Court Division 8, announced today (September 17) that a fine of 3 million won was sentenced to A (75, female), who was indicted on charges including assault resulting in injury and property damage.

Defendant was indicted on charges of throwing a bag containing kimchi broth at B (62) at a door-to-door sales office located in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, at 11:40 a.m. on June 25 of last year.

Defendant then picked up the burst bag and waved it around, scattering kimchi broth across the office walls, ceiling, and computer.

Investigations revealed that Defendant's husband had lent 70 million won to B's couple in 2019 but failed to get it back.

Defendant visited B's office carrying a bag filled with kimchi broth on behalf of her husband and committed the crime.

The court stated, "The nature of the crime is unfavorable given the method of the offense and the fact that the defendant has not been forgiven by the victims," while adding, "The sentence was determined by taking into account various sentencing conditions, including the motive that led the defendant to commit the crime."
