An Auburn man accused of smacking a loud 10-year-old at a Kent movie theater could face months in jail if convicted of the felony assault charge now filed against him.

King County prosecutors contend 21-year-old Yong Hyun Kim knocked out one of the boy’s teeth after the child and several other youths refused to quiet down and stop throwing popcorn in April.

According to charging documents, Kim admitted to hitting the boy and appeared ashamed when confronted by police with the boy’s age. Kim allegedly said he thought the boy was an adult when he slapped him in the face.

The Associated Press reports the incident occured during a screening of "Titanic" in 3-D.

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 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.

Not if the kid sees this poor schmuck get hauled off to jail. It'll just make him that much worse.

One of the only things I like about Wal-Mart is that its one of the few places where parents will still beat their kids for acting up in public.

Not much else to like about Wal-Mart, but it does have that going for it....

Not so much anymore, used to see that all the time at the Army PX though.
Someone here told me a funny story about that, said that their kid was acting up in the PX so he gave them a swat and some busy body starts gripping at him so he said, “Mind your own business unless you want some too” then realized there was an MP standing right there. The lady turned and looked at the MP and he said, “Sounds like you’d better mind your own business.”

I don't condone what he did... but I certainly can understand it.

Curtis got slapped!

I've wanted to club at least a dozen people in movie theaters. It's a ticket to a movie, not a season pass to be an obnoxious asshole. Kansas City has been much worse than other places I've seen movies, such as the DM area.

You coward. Get up and slap someone after asking for ID

**Iowanian** · 05-23-2012, 03:43 PM

I just sit behind them and pee on the floor and hope they've taken off their flip flops

A few years ago up in Rochester, NY some lady told some girls behind her to be quiet and one of them reached up and sliced her face with a razor blade.

Keep your brat in check and this kind of thing won't happen.

Yeah, good luck with that. I have done that before and they just look at you like you are strange for asking them to do their job. I complained to management after the movie and got the same look. They don't give a shit as long as they have your money.

Are you supposed to hit anyone in this world/society? Of course the answer is no, but the reason the situation escalated and got to the level it did is because the stupid bitch of a mother had no respect for the man or anyone else attending the movie. She didn't correct the kids like an adult should when their children are being annoying little shits and thus only inflamed the situation. Her lack of action empowered the kids to continue in their course of action and she is the one who is actually to blame, but as I would fully expect the story played out as I thought it would. The cops show up and she's over there with junior consoling him as they play the victim as she's been taught to do her entire life.

Don't know about Mr. Kim though. Being a creepy looking grown man with long hair in a movie theater alone watching Titanic 3D? Court should just dismiss the case on account of stupid.

I agree. I teach 10-year-olds for a living, and none of them remotely resemble a grown man.
