South Korean courts have issued various sentences for criminal cases involving robbery and assault.

In one instance, the Busan District Court sentenced a man in his 40s to 3 years and 6 months in prison for robbery, injury, and trespassing after he entered a residential building multiple times and assaulted a woman to steal money. Separately, the Daegu District Court issued a 6-month prison sentence, suspended for 2 years, to a man in his 60s for habitual assault against taxi drivers.

In another case, the Ulsan District Court fined a man in his 60s 1 million won for assaulting a designated driver in Yangsan. The assault occurred after the driver requested the defendant stop making political criticisms and using profanity. The court noted the defendant had a history of similar offenses and had not reached a settlement with the victim.
