This article is what I like to call, "What not to do if you are a highly respected businessman...unless you are Sun's father on LOST."

May 11 - The South Korean prosecutor has sought an arrest warrant for Kim Seung-youn, one of the country's richest businessman, on suspicion of kidnapping and beating karaoke bar waiters.
Kim Seung-youn, chairman of the Hanwha Group, a South Korean business conglomerate, appeared at a Seoul courthouse on Friday to face assault charges.
Police suspect that Kim went to the bar with his bodyguards in early March, seized six workers and shuttled them off to a remote mountain area where he beat them with a 150-cm steel pipe.
They also suspect that he punched and kicked one waiter "dozens of times", causing broken ribs, and then ordered his son to beat another waiter repeatedly.
Kim has been harshly critisised by the domestic press and the public especially because he belongs to high society and is a business leader.
The case has fascinated a public grown used to bribery scandals, nepotism and illicit financial dealings among its business leaders.
