Company apologizes for Korean employee's assault
On the evening of July 16, through the Segyung Vina Yen Phong fanpage, Mr. Chun Sung Woog, the Vietnamese legal representative (Segyung Vina) of Segyung Hitech Company, apologized to the parties involved in the case of a Vietnamese girl who was assaulted by two Korean women at a photo studio in Hanoi. "First of all, Segyung Vina would like to send our most sincere apologies to the Vietnamese government, the Vietnamese people, the Korean Association and the parties involved in the incident that occurred at a photo booth located in Hanoi on the evening of July 11," the unit expressed.
The company confirmed that the incident involved a female Korean employee working at its headquarters in Korea. During a business trip to Vietnam from July 9 to 14, she assaulted two Vietnamese citizens. Segyung Vina said the incident occurred on the evening of July 11, but because it was outside of the employee's working hours, the company only learned of the incident at noon on July 14 after it spread on social media.
The apology letter was posted on the official fanpage of Segyung Vina Company.

Immediately after learning of the situation, the company held an emergency meeting, contacted the victim, the manager of the incident site, and coordinated with the police to investigate and handle the matter. "We clearly understand that this is an unethical and absolutely unacceptable behavior, contrary to the company's business motto of complying with Vietnamese law, respecting Vietnamese culture, and always accompanying the development of all Vietnamese officers and employees," the company said.
Segyung Vina, together with Segyung Hitech headquarters, said that it was seriously aware of this incident and promised to do its best to resolve the issue. At the same time, the company also announced measures to handle the problem, including the decision to fire the Korean employee who committed the assault, send the most sincere apology to the victim and compensate for the damage. In addition, this unit also issued a code of conduct when working abroad, applicable to all Korean employees of Segyung Vina and the headquarters. The company will organize regular training sessions to avoid similar incidents, as well as actively cooperate with the authorities to find out the exact details of the cause so that similar incidents do not occur.
"In addition, depending on the situation, we will also have additional handling measures. Once again, we would like to send our most sincere apologies to the victims and the Vietnamese people for this incident. Segyung Vina will try its best to build a long-term relationship between Vietnam and Korea with the mindset of being companions who always support and respect each other," the announcement said.
On July 14, social media spread this video along with a post by a girl accusing two Korean women of cursing and assaulting her while using services at a photobooth in Hanoi.
According to the post, on the evening of July 11, two Vietnamese girls came to take photos at a photo booth in Tu Liem Ward (Hanoi). The Vietnamese girls said they had booked an appointment, paid in full, and were taking photos within the allowed time when they were suddenly cursed at by two Korean women standing outside, asking them to leave the booth even though the time had not yet ended. When one of the two girls reacted, a person in the group of tourists rushed in, grabbed her hair, and repeatedly hit her in the face, head, and body.
On the afternoon of July 14, Tu Liem Ward Police said that the authorities were checking and verifying information about a Vietnamese girl who accused two Korean women of "influencing" her at a photobooth.
Regarding the incident, Korean TikToker Yeaji was "attacked" by Vietnamese netizens on her personal page because they thought she was the one who assaulted the Vietnamese girl at the photobooth. Immediately after that, Yeaji had to speak up to deny and release evidence to defend herself.
