Actor Ryu Shi Won (41), who for allegedly assaulting and threatening his wife, and illegally installing a location tracking program onto his wife's car was sentenced to 7 million won in fines two weeks ago, did not agree with the sentence that was given to him in Seoul Central District Court in Seocho gu, Seoul, In the morning of November 29, 2013, and submitted his appealed to the Supreme Court. Ryu Shi Won and his lawyer Yul Chon on December 6, 2013, submitted the appeals.

An official spokesman of Ryu Shi Won's agency said, "It is true that Ryu Shi Won decided to submit the appeals to the Supreme Court. However, I am currently not aware of the details as his lawyer is the person in charge of that."

The Prosecutor's Office previously in early November charged Ryu Shi Won with eight months in prison for assaulting, threatening, and illegally tracking the location of his wife. When Ryu Shi Won was charged with the 7 million won fine, the prosecutor's office argued that the charges were too light, saying, "The degree of physical and verbal abuse is not important. However, violating the law on tracking the location of another person is not a light crime," explaining the reasons why they charged Ryu Shi Won with eight months in prison. Ryu Shi Won's attorney then said in reply, "As a celebrity, being defamed with an assault case that the person did not commit is a very painful thing," denying the alleged assault.

Meanwhile Ryu Shi Won met a then acquaintance Ms. Cho, a dancer, in 2010 with the introduction of a mutual friend, and married her after one year of dating. Three months after their daughter was born, but the couple did not maintain an amicable relationship and last April, after 20 months in to the marriage, the couple filed for divorce adjustment. The couple could not find a compromise in the divorce adjustment steps, and is currently undergoing a divorce case.
