Ken Rhee has been sent to the prosecution on charges of assaulting a YouTuber Gu Je Yeok

Seocho Police Station in Seoul revealed on the 22nd that they have sent former Navy Lieutenant Ken Rhee(39) to the prosecution on the 12th, charging him with assault for allegedly hitting a YouTuber involved in a dispute after a trial.

According to the police, Ken is accused of punching YouTuber Lee Jun-hee (active under the name Gu Je Yeok) once in the face during a confrontation while they were leaving Seoul Central District Court in Seocho-gu on March 20th.

Ken also faces charges of hitting Lee Jun-hee's mobile phone out of his hand and verbally insulting him in a public place (property damage and defamation).

After Ken was prosecuted for the unauthorized entry to Ukraine, YouTuber Lee Jun-hee followed him after his first trial and continued to ask questions such as, "Aren't you sorry to your creditors as you've been a defaulter for six years?" However, he ended up being assaulted.

After the incident, Lee Jun-hee reported the assault to the emergency line (112) at the scene and filed a complaint against Ken for property damage and defamation.
