At the first trial, Lee Seo-won's lawyer said the victims' statements didn't match and requested questioning of the two witnesses and evidence of Lee Seo-won's call records. In the second trial, both witnesses will be questioned.

Lee Seo-won was drinking with an actress in April this year when he tried to get intimate with her and when she called her boyfriend, Lee threatened them with a weapon. He was booked without detention on the 2nd of May.

Investigators say they've questioned Lee Seo-won for four hours on the 24th of June. According to his agency, Lee Seo-won said it happened all while they were drinking and he has no excuse. He's deeply regretful.

At the first trial, Lee Seo-won's attorney said, "He has no excuse for the charges made against him and he admits his mistakes. However, he doesn't remember anything and the witnesses testified that he was very drunk and disorderly".

"The victim had no scars on her face, but the defendant had a scar on his face. There are some parts of the victim's testimony that don't make sense. We admit to his crime, but this needs to be taken into consideration".

In front of the press, Lee Seo-won said, "I have been truthful in court". When he was asked if he admits to his charges, he said, "I can't say anything because this is an ongoing case".
