A South Korean man in his 50s died just three months after marrying a Vietnamese woman, following what a close friend described as an increasingly difficult and troubled marriage.
Known only as Mr A in reports about the case, the man reportedly died from cardiac arrest around three months after his wedding. His friend later shared details about the relationship with a Korean media outlet, claiming that A had experienced severe emotional and physical distress during the short-lived marriage.
The account was discussed by a YouTube channel and reported by Korean media, with the information reportedly coming from A’s close friend. The allegations have not been independently verified.
He Had Not Met His Bride Before Marriage
According to the friend, A decided to marry a foreign woman after his mother passed away. His mother had reportedly opposed the idea of him marrying a foreign bride before her death.
The friend claimed that A had only seen a photograph of the Vietnamese woman and had not met her in person before agreeing to the marriage.
There were reportedly some issues before the wedding, including disagreements surrounding tattoos and medical examinations. Despite these difficulties, the marriage eventually proceeded.
However, the relationship allegedly became increasingly strained after the couple began living together.
Wife Allegedly Wanted To Return To Vietnam
The friend claimed that A’s wife preferred to sleep in a separate room and had expressed a desire to return to Vietnam.
A reportedly spoke to his friend about the problems in his marriage almost every day. According to the friend’s account, the situation escalated when the woman eventually said she wanted to leave South Korea and return to Vietnam.
When A allegedly attempted to persuade her to remain in the marriage, an argument reportedly broke out between the couple.
The friend claimed that A said he was struck in the face while he was sleeping, after which he retaliated. Police were subsequently called to the scene, and the wife was reportedly taken away for her protection.
Friend Claims Man Suffered Injuries
According to the friend, A disagreed with the police’s handling of the incident and maintained that he had suffered worse injuries during the confrontation.
When the friend later visited him, he reportedly noticed bruises on A’s face, along with bite and scratch marks on various parts of his body.
A also allegedly told his friend that he had previously suffered three broken teeth during another confrontation with his wife, claiming that she had struck him in the face with her knee.
The friend said the incidents had a significant impact on A’s emotional state. He reportedly became depressed and made several attempts to harm himself.
Man Died From Cardiac Arrest Three Months After Wedding
About three months after the couple married, A died after suffering cardiac arrest.
The timing of his death has drawn attention because of the allegations surrounding the brief marriage. However, the reports provided do not establish that the marital disputes caused his cardiac arrest.
The details concerning the relationship primarily came from A’s close friend, who recounted what A had allegedly told him about his experiences.
The case has also sparked online discussion in South Korea about international marriages, particularly situations where couples have limited opportunities to get to know each other before marrying.
While the circumstances surrounding A’s marriage and subsequent death remain the subject of discussion, the available reports do not provide enough information to determine whether the alleged marital conflicts had any direct medical connection to his death.
