Group Super Junior’s Kangin has apologized for assaulting a woman.

Kangin’s agency Label SJ announced on 17th, “We are deeply sorry for causing a trouble. During the time of the incident, he was drinking at a bar and had a fight with one of his friends. After some misunderstanding, he was called to the police station. Kangin has already apologized to the person and the case was peacefully ended at the station.”

They continued, “Once again, we are truly sorry for causing a trouble during the time for self-restraint.”

Earlier on the same day, a witness reported to the police at 4:30 A.M. and said “Kangin is physically assaulting someone” at a bar in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu. The police has revealed that the victim argued she was kangin’s girlfriend.

However, because the victim did not want any punishment for him, the police isolated him from the victim and eventually released him. In terms of general assault incidents, the assailant can not be punished if the victim does not want punishment.

In addition, Kangin’s agency has argued that the victim is not his girlfriend, but “just friend”.

Meanwhile, he had been charged with drunk driving twice in 2009 and last year.
