A South Korean man, identified as 34-year-old Jang Hyung-jun, has had his 22-year prison sentence upheld on appeal for attempted murder in Ulsan. Jang was convicted of repeatedly stabbing a former romantic partner with a knife in an attempted homicide stemming from stalking behavior. The incident, widely referred to as the “Ulsan stalking attempted murder case,” gained public attention due to the severity of the attack and concerns over stalking violence. The Ulsan District Court initially handed down the sentence, which the appellate court has now affirmed. Prosecutors had sought a more severe punishment, arguing for a life sentence. The court acknowledged the brutality of the crime but maintained the original sentencing. The case highlights growing societal concerns regarding stalking and violence against women in South Korea.
