Songwriter Maximite has been slapped with a 3 million won fine by the Seoul Central District Court for assaulting his girlfriend, according to Yonhap News Agency, Wednesday.
Maximite allegedly attacked his girlfriend several times after quarreling with her at his home on Sept. 6, 2017. The girlfriend's injuries required two weeks of treatment.
He reportedly denied some of the allegations, but the court found him guilty based on the victim's statement, a medical certificate and related photos.
On Thursday, he was given a suspended jail sentence of two years and six months for taking drugs. Seoul Central District Court ordered him to do 80 hours of community service and receive 40 hours of drug treatment education.
Maximite, whose name is Shin Min-chul, is well known for composing "Pick Me," the popular theme music of Mnet's survival show "Produce 101 Season 1" that aired in 2016.
