Noh Hong Chul attacked by mental patient

Nohhongchul_20080220_popseoul

Funny guy Noh Hong Chul was in no laughing state when he was attacked outside of his home by a mental patient. The suspect waited for the loud comedian and attacked him leaving a 3mm deep laceration on his ear.

The 27 year old attacker who suffers from schizophrenia said to police that the reason he attacked Noh Hong Chul was because he claimed that Noh harmed his father and later regretfully admitted to hurting Noh Hong Chul. A mental examination will be done to determine if the mental patient will be prosecuted as a mentally fit or unfit criminal.

The comedian is currently recovering at a hospital where he has received 3 stitches on his left ear and doctors say Noh Hong Chul will need at least 3 weeks of recovery time.

Get well soon Noh Hong Chul!

    lol what? it was 3METERS but he onoly needed 3 stitches? 3 stitches are nothing. the most i got was 4 for some like little scratch.

    The only reason i can think of for him to et 3 weeks off is so he doesn’t get bleach in his stitches.

    what! a blonde korean with a blackbeard and mustache,black sideburns, also with 3 inches of original black root hair,(i have no idea what to call that)

    who is mentally unfit?? if there was a mask,i wouldnt wear that for halloween.clowns woulnt wear a wig like that.

  7. 8 janepak February 21, 2008 at 11:20 am

    people. it says 3 MM MILIMETERS not METERS.

    i hope he gets better~

  8. 9 piece of cake February 21, 2008 at 11:21 am

    Uh. It’s 3mm as in millimeters, not meters. He’d be dead if it were meters…

  9. 10 jisun February 21, 2008 at 11:52 am

    THREE MILLIMETRES YOU RETARDS!

    repeat after me.

    millimetres.

    not metres (and definitely not ‘meters’)

  10. 11 Jane. February 21, 2008 at 11:56 am

    Wow, did some people not go to school? mm= millimeters.
    anywhoo, thanks for putting it upp quickly. i heard that noh hong chul suffered a lot mentally, i guess he was shocked. and stop criticizing his hair, this was not the best picture of him. Plus, if you look closely, it looks as if he has been crying. Poor guy. Get weell<3

  11. 12 janet February 21, 2008 at 12:05 pm

    aww i love noh hong chul. heard about this last night. hope he gets better asap.

  12. 13 Julie February 21, 2008 at 12:17 pm

    dang some of you people are poor excuses for humans…show some compassion…your fellow man was attacked for no reason….

  13. 14 rxlcrab February 21, 2008 at 12:30 pm

    Awww poor guy! He’s really funny and a decent human being, just watched him in the first episode of Change. Hope Noh Hong Chul gets better soon so we can see his laughing self back on TV again.

  14. 15 ed February 21, 2008 at 12:41 pm

    really the craziest thing is noh doesn’t want to press charges. mental guy needs to be rehabilitated, kept off streets etc. not slide by this noble celeb’s sympathy, that’s just marking time for the next crazy attack (think Namdaemun.)

  15. 16 spin February 21, 2008 at 12:45 pm

    poor Hong Chul!

    although… its nice of him not to press charges, the insane should be kept off the streets. esp if the guy is already having delusional fantasies about him that provoked the lunatic to go this far ~

  16. 17 for real February 21, 2008 at 1:48 pm

    he’s got a good heart to laugh it off. scary life.

  17. 19 tenretni February 21, 2008 at 2:24 pm

    loooooool… okay its not funny.. actually very scary..but how come i can’t stop smiling?? is it because i too want to kick this guy in the mouth?? why can’t he stop yelling, jumping around and being all obnoxious?? i’m obviously against violence, but somebody needed to shut him UP! or will he just rehash this story for months with his stupid voice and hand motions? crap…

  18. 20 joyce February 21, 2008 at 2:26 pm

    i agree with him that the guy(if he really has some mental issues) should just be taken to a mental institution rather than be in jail

    i cant believe so many people saying mm = meter
    so weird

  19. 21 Moi February 21, 2008 at 6:14 pm

    get well soon NHC!

  20. 22 pootcha February 21, 2008 at 7:42 pm

    Get well soon!!!

    The bleached hair, it has to go. Its so over for your age. That fad came back during the nineties. If we are still in that era, probably, yes. But, the last time I checked it’s already 2008 and you are already 8 years late.

  21. 23 Yixx February 21, 2008 at 10:39 pm

    홍철아아아아~ ㅠ.ㅠ

  22. 24 Jini February 22, 2008 at 12:06 am

    Okay, some, I mean some koreans can be crazy and still they’re on the loose.

  23. 25 Na Rim February 22, 2008 at 3:49 am

    I really hope he will get well soon! And please stop critizing his blond hair and all, everyone has the right to look how they want. And if you think he’s annoying then just ignore him for godssake. He’s actually a very sweet guy. I mean there’s not many guys who would get attacked and then not even press charges.

  24. 26 okeydoke February 22, 2008 at 6:33 am

    thats funny.. hahaa
    i hope he gets better soon !
    so that i can see more of the obnoxious and sometimes funny infinite challenge group.

  25. 29 poor guy February 22, 2008 at 1:17 pm

    i hope he gets well soon… crazy person attacked himm.. damnnn

  26. 30 Tiffany February 22, 2008 at 1:54 pm

    He’s quite funny and I found out who he was through television appearances (especially on Happy Shares Company since he’s usually around when the competitors are looking for someone to help them guess their clues). I hope he gets well soon!

  27. 31 amareally February 22, 2008 at 10:42 pm

    GOSH that’s scary!! although I’m not a fan but he’s pretty funny in Infinity Challenge .. so .. GET WELL SOON

  28. 32 Sharurotto February 25, 2008 at 3:23 am

    =[
    When I heard about this, i was like NOOO! But yeah, I hope he really gets well soon…

    I can understand him not pressing charges…the guy is a schizophrenic, and that’s like one of the most diabolical diseases out there…wish we had a cure for that…he didn’t have “fantasies” about killing/hurting Noh Hong Chul…you guys clearly don’t know about this disease, go watch “A Beautiful Mind”

    Either way, I <3 Noh Hong Chul and wish him the best!

  29. 33 yonica February 26, 2008 at 4:06 am

    he looks like the mental patient.

  30. 34 kangminGF418 February 29, 2008 at 12:05 pm

    lim33853: DUUDE
