Last April, a man in his 40s living in Jongno-gu, Seoul, was furious after he couldn't sleep until dawn because a drama shoot was taking place in the alleyway in front of his house until 3:30 AM. He tried to sleep, but the noise and the bright lights were disrupting his rest. Angry, he stepped out onto his balcony to observe the situation. At that time, there were about 40 people involved in the drama filming. Unable to contain his anger, he decided to destroy a lighting fixture that had been set up by the crew. He picked up a brick, about 19 cm in size, from his balcony and threw it at the lighting fixture. However, the brick missed the target and fell directly below the balcony, hitting the head of a 20-year-old female crew member instead. The woman, suddenly struck by the brick, suffered a 4 cm laceration to the back of her head and required medical treatment. The police, who were dispatched to the scene,

Based on witness statements that bricks were thrown from nearby, the suspect was apprehended around 4 AM. Following a police investigation, they were charged with serious injury due to negligence and were brought to trial. Judge Park So-jeong of the Seoul Central District Court, who presided over the case, sentenced the defendant to six months in prison. Judge Park noted that at the time of the incident, there were about 40 members of a drama filming crew in the narrow alley, and the structure allowed people to be visible from the balcony. Therefore, it was easy to foresee that throwing a brick could result in injury to anyone. Furthermore, despite this, the defendant threw the brick out of anger over the loud noise from the drama filming, injuring the victim. The judge emphasized that, considering the motives and details of the crime, the defendant's culpability was significant. Additionally, it was pointed out that even after committing the crime around April of last year, the defendant had not taken responsibility for the harm caused to the victim.

He explained the reasons for the sentencing, stating that he could not provide recovery.
