Last month, Ki-jong attacked ambassador Mark Lippert with a fruit knife during a forum on Korean reunification in Seoul. Lippert suffered deep gashes to his face and wrist and was in hospital for 5 days.
If found guilty of attempted murder, he could face life in prison or even the death penalty, which is rarely used in South Korea.
