According to the police, Lee returned home after having half a bottle of soju (distilled liquor) Sunday afternoon. As Lee was having his lunch, his pet dog pounced on him, and Lee tried to throw the dog off the balcony in anger. His 27-year-old daughter tried to stop him, which infuriated Lee, who accused his daughter of believing him to be lower than a dog. He beat his daughter on her cheek and side with his fist.

Police were notified and sent to the scene. Considering that Lee had been investigated for domestic violence several times previously, they booked him and requested that the court forbid him from coming within 100 meters of his daughter.
