"You can be a feminist".Appeals for assaulting convenience store employees are also sentenced to three years in prison.

A 20-year-old man who was put on trial for assaulting a convenience store employee saying he could be beaten because he was a feminist was also sentenced to prison in the appeal trial.

The Changwon District Court sentenced a man in his 20s to three years in prison, the same as the original trial, to a man in his 20s, who was arrested and charged with hitting a convenience store employee.

The appeals court explained the reason for the sentencing, saying it is questionable whether A reflects on the statement that the victim hit him first.

In November last year, A was sentenced to three years in prison in the first trial for punching a female employee in her 20s at a convenience store in Hadae-dong, Jinju-si, Gyeongsangnam-do.

A, who was drunk, was found to have assaulted a convenience store employee with short hair, saying, "You're a feminist, so you can get hit."
