‘Cobra Kai’ actors share footage from fan convention before biting incident

The fun before the bite.

“Cobra Kai” actors Martin Kove and Alicia Hannah-Kim shared behind-the-scenes footage on social media Sunday from the fan convention where Hannah-Kim, 37, accused Kove, 78, of biting her arm.

Kove posted an Instagram clip of himself signing a fan’s “Cobra Kai” poster at the Washington State Summer Con in Puyallup seemingly before the incident occurred.

“It’s forever. Cobra Kai never dies,” Kove captioned the video, which was played to the song “Quiver” from the show’s soundtrack.

Hannah-Kim, for her part, shared two clips from her experience at the fan convention seemingly before things went awry.

In the first video, the actress filmed herself at the airport with her luggage before the clip transitioned to her at the convention with a dog in her backpack.

“Is this what standing on business means??” Hannah-Kim wrote in her caption.

In the second video, Hannah-Kim and some of her co-stars including Rayna Valladingham and Tanner Buchanan excitedly opened Labubu toys from PopMart. The caption read, “office party was 🤸🏻‍♀️.”

At some point during the convention, Hannah-Kim accused Kove of biting her arm, which reportedly led to Kove being thrown out of the event.

According to an informational police report obtained by People, Hannah-Kim claimed the alleged attack happened when she tapped Kove on the shoulder to greet him at their cast booth.

“Martin Kove suddenly grabbed her arm and bit her upper arm so hard it nearly drew blood, and she yelled out in pain,” the documents read. “Once Martin Kove finished biting her arm, he grabbed her arm again and began kissing it where he had bit her.”

In bodycam footage, Hannah-Kim and a police officer ripped into Kove for the biting outside the convention center.

“You have left a mark on my body, which in your 80-year-old brain, you think is ‘play,’” Hannah-Kim told Kove.

The Korean-Australian actress also asked the “Karate Kid” alum if he was “raised in a ditch,” before she had the officer document the bit mark and stated that she wanted the incident to be “on his record.”

Kove, who apologized to Hannah-Kim for getting “angry,” was informed by the officer that his co-star wasn’t pressing charges, but that she wanted the incident documented so it “doesn’t happen again.”

The “DWTS” alum gave a full apology for the incident in a statement obtained by TMZ.

“I deeply regret and apologize for my actions regarding the incident with Alicia, a genuinely kind and wonderful person who didn’t deserve to be put in this position,” Kove stated.

“I’ve always respected her and considered her a highly professional and talented co-worker on ‘Cobra Kai,’” he added. “I was being playful in the moment but went too far and there is absolutely no excuse for my behavior.”

“Cobra Kai,” a sequel to the first three “Karate Kid” films, ran for six seasons from 2018 to 2025.
