Goo Ha-ra’s boyfriend denied reports that he had assaulted the singer, who spoke to the media after an apparent physical altercation between the two.

Speaking to a local news daily on Saturday, the hairdresser, who wished to stay anonymous, said he had never raised a fist to anyone in his life, particularly not to a woman.

He added that if there were bruises on Goo’s body, they may have resulted from his efforts to calm her down when she was scratching and beating him.

Goo’s ex-boyfriend said the argument started Wednesday night after he informed her in a text message that he wanted to end their relationship.

After work, around midnight, he went home to the apartment they shared and the conflict escalated, the boyfriend said.
The emotionally shaken singer initiated physical violence, the ex-boyfriend stated, and he called police.

In the accompanying photo released by the newspaper, Goo’s boyfriend’s face bore what appeared to be deep scratches.
