Apology for S Korean woman convicted of biting man's tongue as he attacked her
South Korean President apologizes to woman who bit off attacker's tongue
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has apologized to a woman who was criticized for biting a man's tongue during a violent attack. The victim, surnamed Kim, was attacked and had his tongue bitten off by the accused, identified as Ahn, in March 2020. Ahn was convicted and sentenced to three years in prison last week.
President Yoon expressed sympathy toward the victim and criticized Ahn, saying that her actions were unacceptable. He did not mention the incident involving the tongue-biting. Yoon also emphasized that violence should not be justified, even if it is in self-defense.
The case has sparked widespread debate in South Korea. Some people have criticized Kim for using violence in response to Ahn, who was emotionally distressed after a breakup. Others have questioned whether a man's tongue can be considered a weapon that can justify the use of violence in self-defense.
