The case involves conflicting statements from the man, who claims to have kissed the woman first at a bar, and the woman, who claimed to have 'no memory' the next day and threatened to sue. "Admissions and apologies made to hasten the end of the situation may be evaluated as confessions in the eyes of the law," warns lawyer Lee Joohan of Hanbyul Law Firm, adding that it is important to avoid contacting the victim directly or making emotional apologies.

Legal issues highlighted in the article include the burden of proof for consent, the credibility of victims' statements, and whether alcohol-induced memory loss qualifies as mental incapacitation. Experts emphasized the importance of obtaining objective evidence (preserving call and text logs, checking CCTV, etc.) and preparing a coherent statement, and Han Byul's warning is a reminder that sloppy language can be used against you in criminal proceedings.
