Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
Meet Yong Hyun Kim, Korean American/Asian American hero.
You don’t know him? Neither did I before today, but he was recently arrested and charged with a felony for slapping the shit out of an annoying ass punk kid in a movie theater.
At 10:40 p.m. on April 11, Kent police were called to the AMC Theater at 426 Ramsay Way following a complaint that a man had attacked a child there.
Officers arrived to find to find the 10-year-old, his mother and several friends in the theater lobby. The boy was bleeding from the nose and missing a tooth.
The boy told police he wasn’t sure why Kim struck him. He said he was seated in the theater when a man with “long hair and … 3D glasses” stepped over a row of seats and confronted him.
According to the boy’s account, Kim said something to the effect of, “You know what, I paid a lot of money to see this movie” and punched him in the face.
For his part, Kim said the boy and others were talking loudly during the movie – the title of which was not given in charging documents – and throwing popcorn, some of which landed on him and his girlfriend, a Kent detective told the court.
Kim told police he confronted the group about their behavior, to no avail, the detective continued.
“The group laughed at him and did not quiet down,” the detective said in court documents. “Yong (Kim) said he hit one of the subjects in the face with an open hand.”
“I got so mad that it just happened,” Kim told police, according to charging documents.
Kim was arrested and later gave a lengthy statement to police. The detective noted Kim claimed he didn’t know the boy was so young until police informed him.
“When (the arresting officer) asked Yong (Kim) if he was aware that the person he struck was 10 years old … Yong hung his head down and said he thought the person was a grown man,” the detective told the court.
Kim has been charged with second-degree assault, a felony. Kim, who has no criminal record, was briefly jailed and has since been released.
Okay, okay. I know, I know. Should he have done it? No. Physical violence as a way of solving problems blows.
BUT
You have to admit, it’s like a fantasy come true in real life. Gosh it must have been so gratifying to slap the everliving fuck out of that kid who wouldn’t SHUT THE FUCK UP during the movie. Same applies for kids on a plane or wherever else terrible parents can’t get a grip on their goddamn brats.
Plus, if he didn’t do it, we wouldn’t get this video.

I think I’d burst a vein in my head from laughing if i saw this in person!
glad he kicked that kid’s ass.
I don’t trust 10 year old kids who sneak into a PG-13 movies.
Hurray for Yong Hyun Kim for standing up for the rights of movie viewers everywhere.
Everybody wants to knock the annoying people out in movie theaters, Kim just had the balls to do it.
People over here in theaters are loud as fuck, Im surprised nobody got shot yet just because of our city’s violence. Which is why I go to the suburbs theaters.
Those are the most annoying kids ever! It really pisses me off when their parents are with them, and act like they don’t know how to handle/control them. They just fucking let their kids run rampant. That’s why if I want to see a kids movie i just wait until it comes out on DVD I won’t be in a movie theatre with a bunch of kids.
I still don’t think he really needed to punch the kid. Couldn’t he have just slapped him or something. I don’t know, but punching seems too extreme.
I agree, he should have slapped the shit out of him.
it says he hit the boy with an open hand,so… isn’t that different from punching though??
I guess.
He did slap him.
They’d to ridicule me too, because if I was there, I would be clapping and say “Finally!”
From reading the article, they should of banned those bastards and their bitch ass parents if they gonna arrest him. How could you let your damn kid acting like a bitch in public like that? IDGAF what people say, I think that boy deserved it. The parents too.
Cause it’s not illegal to be a prick.
I suppose the theater could have banned them though.
lol according to the video, he was watching titanic? that movie’s been out for more than 10 years its not like he was missing out on anything. its also extremely overrated.
but yeah annoying brats in planes, movies, restaurants, etc. are the worst, especially on planes because you’re stuck with them an extremely long period of time. those parents really need to raise their kids better.
This guy did it with a little more style:

Damn. Motherfucker kept it really real.
Haha. I would have loved to have customers like this when I was working at a movie theater. Someone has to beat those kids because you know their parents never have.
Aww shieet is that Tokyo Jihen in your avatar? I love Shiina Ringo.
Yeah its most likely their parents are irresponsible as all hell. Kids usually reflect their families.
Yea, love Tokyo Jihen, was heartbroken to see them break up T.T
I wonder what that kid looks/sounds like for him to think he’s a grown man.
Well I’m guessing the kid was probably really fat, and the guy was wearing the 3D glasses still when he slapped him.
I’m curious about that too,,,well asian has smaller features so…
anyway,don’t they have any movie patrollers in movie theater in america?you know, the one who you will never see when you are behave but will escort you out violently when you use a cell phone in theater?
do they allow people there to just go inside the movie and do their own thing?
at my theater i’ve only seen “movie patrollers” for R rated movies or occasionally if the movie is really popular and the theater is packed. but otherwise people can just do whatever they want inside the theater…
Was probably a lie. :o
There’s a new stereotype now, black ppl talk in movies and koreans hit ppl in movies.
Wait, anyone know what State?
Washington
I felt like the whole story hasn’t been told. That kid and the people the kid was with had to pushed him that far to do something like that, whether the guy thought he was an adult or not. (these kids nowadays are crazy) If this what actually happened, then he has a short temper. No matter how much I want to free the beast out of rude kids, I wouldn’t just go to them and punch/slap them unless provoked to that point. Before doing something like that, I would complain to the people that works there.
Obviously he shouldn’t have hit him right away, but it’s hilarious regardless.
:o
LOL. What the hell is a 10 year old kid doing in a movie theater on a Wednesday night?
It never fails to amaze me what parents nowadays will let their fucking kids do.
10 year olds are nothing, I’ve seen parents bringing their infants to the movies and hearing the baby crying through the movie.
But I guess since it’s summer and kids are out of school, it’s easier for parents to take them to the movies instead of keeping them at home.
babies can’t watch movies..never seen one…
Where do YOU live at? That’s sounds like an ideal place. Childless movie theaters are taboo where I’m at.
it’s a place where they drown you with mixed ideas, rules and philosophies in life while you watch them broke their preaches first!!!
there were movie patrollers in every theater i watched at but they were all wholesome,can’t use cellphones, cameras so i don’t think a baby is okay too…
Yes they do and obviously you haven’t seen ‘Look Who’s Talking’?
I don’t know where you live but in the States, it’s like a family outing. Waiting for them to bring their pets too.
@contagious-never seen that movie but it sounds funny
Silent Hill?
After reading all your other posts on violence and how you dont condone it,you backtrack and condone it here.
Now when we were arguing about JYJ and them beating fans no matter the provocation you were stern on how wrong it was but same shit happens here and you know it’s wrong but you’re ok with it and revel in the kid getting slapped.
I am guessing this guy is a grown ass man and he slapped a 10 year old and you calling him ‘Korean American/Asian American hero’.
Oh the hypocrisy!
1) It’s tongue-in-cheek.
2) They are celebrities.
3) I clearly say I don’t condone it in this article, I just say I understand.
“So you gotta look at OJ’s situation. He’s paying $25,000 a month in alimony, got another man driving around in his car and fucking his wife in a house he’s still paying the mortgage on. Now I’m not saying he should have killed the bitch … but I understand.” – Chris Rock
Agree with you. The kid however annoying is still a kid.
Tell him to shut up, complain to the movie management whatever.
Hitting him is too much.
Not only I’d slap the shit out of the kid, I would of teabagged him too.
……..Right on?
Welcome to the sex offender registry.
American kids are so damn lucky. My mom grew up in the Caribbean and this would not be going down, she told me how she grew up…strangers beat you in the street if they see you acting a fool. And after finding out who you belong to they will drag you to them and tell on you..and your family will beat you for being a public embarrassment and bringing them shame. Caribbeans take the “it’s takes a village” statement to heart. And they still beat you in school for bad behavior.
So damn lucky these kids.
LOL, I know right. It’s the same for my culture. You’ll get beaten up by the whole neighborhood and then by your family for something that wasn’t even your fault. And I think they turned out well…
I live in america and when my mom was younger she said the neighbors would spank other people’s kids too. So yes it happens in america too. It’s just nowadays parents don’t care.
I hope you don’t have kids.
:0
I would not have punched the kid. If I had to punch anybody it wouldve been the kids parent. But yeah people can be annoying at the movies.
If this dude is a hero then Yoo Chun is a FUCKING GOD.
Right?
What public service did he do?
I read this in my local hick town newspaper and they said he punch him. Doesn’t matter in all seriousness this dude may have committed a felony but he has a great career in the pimping business.
Imagine a bitch who didn’t bring home enough doe for this dude. probably slap her back to the mainland.
His hand is DYNAMITE
This also further my suspicions of Koreans were a western culture they would be black under the need to execute authority with fist of power and then use the pen and claim it was racially bias.
All serious just being funny for those who are to pc for your own damn good.
