SEOUL, South Korea - A South Korean hypnotist has been fined for stealing a kiss on a blind date with a woman he thought he had put in a trance, according to news reports Thursday.

The 32-year-old man suggested hypnotizing his 27-year-old date during a meeting arranged by a matchmaking agency in August last year, the Dong-a Ilbo newspaper and Yonhap news agency reported.

The woman was eventually persuaded, and the hypnotist chanted: "Black hole! You will plunge deeper into a trance. You will feel thrilled all over your body and if my hand touches your body, you will feel intense pleasure."

Fined more than $2,000
When the man, identified only by his surname, Park, thought his technique had worked, he went to kiss her.

But the woman was fully alert, though her eyes were closed, and she pushed him away. Later, she filed accusations that he had sexually harassed her, the reports said.

The Seoul Central District Court reportedly fined Park 3 million won ($2,453).
