Attorney Pureun “Ian” Hong of Decent Law Firm, representing the complainant, stated, "If a victim of dating violence continues to communicate with the perpetrator hastily after the incident, there is a risk that when the case becomes a criminal matter, the perpetrator might argue in front of the investigative authorities or in court that the victim has already forgiven them based on the continued communication." He further advised, "Rather than rushing into a settlement, it is crucial to consult with a lawyer, follow legal procedures, or seek help from experts to find a way out of the situation."
