Korean influencer arrested after massage parlour brawl in Pattaya

In a shocking twist of livestream drama, a Korean influencer’s broadcast ended in cuffs after he allegedly assaulted a massage parlour owner in Pattaya. The chaotic scene unfolded at Richy Health Massage in Bang Lamung district, early today, November 14, at 12.36am, as a dispute over his unauthorised filming spiralled out of control.

When police arrived, they found Narin Kongwongsa, the 43 year old owner of the establishment, in severe pain from a dislocated shoulder. According to Narin, her troubles began when the streamer repeatedly returned to her shop, livestreaming massages without consent.

“I tried to tolerate it since he was a tourist but during this latest visit, he crossed a line.”

The man reportedly opened a curtain mid-session, startling a client receiving an oil massage.

Narin claimed that she confronted the livestreamer, pushing his phone aside and shoving him away. The situation quickly escalated. The Korean man allegedly grabbed her arm, violently throwing her to the ground and causing her shoulder injury. But the ordeal didn’t end there. Narin added that in the scuffle, her Korean boyfriend also sustained injuries, suffering a broken nose at the hands of the irate streamer.

Bizarrely, the influencer continued his live broadcast throughout the altercation, only stopping once police intervened and detained him at the scene. He was taken to Pattaya Police Station, where legal proceedings are now underway, though officers have chosen not to release his identity, reported Bangkok Post.
