According to Shin Min Daily News, the victim arrived at a nearby nightclub at midnight that day for a female friend’s birthday party.
At around 3am, the birthday girl, who had gotten drunk, asked the victim to take her home since they lived in the same condominium complex. The woman agreed.

The victim said the men involved were friends of the birthday girl and had been at the party too. Though she was not acquainted with them, she had met them once before the incident.
When the woman insisted on taking her friend home, the man gave an implied threat of hitting her by saying he would take off his ring.
Subsequently, he went ahead with his threat, reportedly punching the victim several times in the forehead, right temple, and the back of her head.
