A South Korean YouTuber has been accused of violently assaulting two people with an expandable metal baton at a beer bar in Pattaya, leaving both victims injured and prompting calls for urgent police action. The incident occurred at around 8.50pm on 29 December 2025 in Soi 6/1 off Pattaya Beach Road, an area popular with tourists and nightlife visitors. The victims say the attack was unprovoked and carried out during a livestream, raising public safety concerns.

 

The injured parties, Ms Sukanlaya, aged 22 and Mr Jihoon, a South Korean national, submitted CCTV footage and livestream clips to the media after reporting the case to police. They said they feared the case might stall without public attention and urged authorities to pursue legal action swiftly and decisively. Both sustained injuries after being struck multiple times before bystanders intervened to stop the assault.

 

According to CCTV footage, the alleged attacker, identified as Mr Jung, a South Korean YouTuber and former close friend of Mr Jihoon, arrived at the scene wearing a white shirt and holding a mobile phone as if livestreaming. He was seen placing the phone on a table, pushing and slapping Mr Jihoon once, then retrieving an expandable baton from a shoulder bag. He extended the baton and struck Mr Jihoon forcefully on the leg, also hitting Ms Sukanlaya as she attempted to intervene.

 

Ms Sukanlaya said the conflict stemmed from deteriorating personal relations between the two men, who had previously been close friends. On the day of the incident, she was alerted that Mr Jung was livestreaming in Soi 6 and making derogatory comments about Mr Jihoon. The livestream allegedly included the remark, “Why is he such a stupid man, giving good things to a Pattaya woman… why buy her a phone?”

 

After seeing the livestream, Mr Jihoon commented in response, leading to a heated online exchange and an agreement to meet in person. The victims said that when they arrived, no discussion took place and the attacker immediately launched the assault, appearing to have prepared the weapon in advance. The livestream video from that time has since been deleted from the YouTuber’s channel.

 

The victims have now filed a formal police complaint supported by video evidence and witnesses. They insist they will not settle the matter privately and want the case pursued to its legal conclusion. They also questioned oversight of foreign content creators in Thailand, warning that aggressive behaviour could pose risks to tourists and the public.

Mine's different, Korean edition.

 

Since Jihoon seems to be the type to give all his money away to a bar girl for phones, cars, a house in the village, he should be thankful for a friend like Jung who tried to beat some sense into him before he goes broke.

These Youtubers in Thailand really need the boot. 🦶

Maybe they are day drinkers.  

Squid Games comes to Pattaya.  

These youtubers are working illegally.  They should start arresting and deporting them.  

This is the funniest part of the story. Not Soi 6 but Soi 6/1.

Looks like two boys having a lovers tiff when one of them decided he liked girls better.

How do the authorities know who is Youtube-ing  and who is making money from their recording, you want every visitor with a camera arrested?
