Controversies

edit

Assault charges

edit

In August 2014, Kim's girlfriend, identified only by her surname Choi, filed assault charges against Kim, claiming that he repeatedly beat her, causing bruises and broken ribs.[105][106][107]Kim denied the charges, saying he had injured Choi only once and that it was an accident that occurred while he was practicing martial arts.[108]Choi dropped some of the charges against Kim in September after he apologized to her.[107]However, Kim was later fined 5 millionKRWfor injuring Choi, with prosecutors in the case saying, "While Kim claimed that he had no intention of hurting her, the damage from the attack was clear."[108]This was later rescinded in 2016 when the Republic of Korea's army and civil courts acquitted Kim of these charges due to evidence that came to light. Text messages between Choi, her mother and friends, statements by the director of Dispatch (the tabloid to which Choi provided her evidence) and statements given by the hospitals visited by Choi led the prosecution to state that there was "little to no credibility behind the former girlfriend's allegations that she had to receive a six-week medical treatment for her fractured ribs".[109][110]Hospital records also showed that she was not pregnant at the time she visited to get treatment for the injuries to her ribs.[109]

On November 12, 2020, theSupreme Court of Koreaordered “A” to pay Kim Hyun Joong 100 millionwon(approximately $89,700) in damages, upholding the verdict from the first and second trials in which they stated, “There is no evidence that ‘A’ suffered a miscarriage due to abuse, or that he had pressured her to have an abortion. As a celebrity, Kim Hyun Joong’s public image has suffered greatly and his reputation has been damaged.”[111]

Paternity case

edit

In February 2015, a magazine reported that Kim and Choi had reunited and that Choi was pregnant. Kim stated via a press release that he had not seen Choi since she told him that she was pregnant in January, and could not confirm if he was the father since she had not been in touch.[112]His agency indicated that he would take full responsibility if he was found to be the father of the child.[113]

In December 2015, a paternity test revealed that Kim was the father of a baby that Choi had given birth to in September of that year.[114][115]

Criminal case

edit

In May 2015, Choi filed a lawsuit against Kim for 1.48 millionUSDfor mental distress caused by her relationship with him, and claimed that his abuse had caused her to miscarry a previous pregnancy in 2014.[116][114]Kim later filed and won a 100 million KRW counter-suit against Choi for defamation, with the court ruling that there was circumstantial evidence that she was not pregnant in 2014.[117]Her lawsuit was dismissed, and she appealed the decision.[79]

Prosecutors filed criminal charges against Kim's ex-girlfriend, Choi, for attempted fraud and defamation in January 2017.[118]In February 2018, Choi was fined 5 million KRW for attempted fraud.[119]

In November 2020, the 3rd Criminal Division of the Supreme Court (Judge Lee Dong-won, Chief Justice) confirmed a court trial that sentenced Choi to a fine of 5 million won on charges of attempted fraud and defamation by publication. Choi was found to have filed a civil lawsuit while knowing that her allegation that Kim had caused her damage, such asforced abortion,was false. In addition, she was also charged with falsifying evidence related to civil lawsuits, such as deleting some of the contents of KakaoTalk's conversation, and defaming Kim's reputation, including providing reporters with false evidence.[120]

Drunk driving

edit

In March 2017, Kim was charged with drunk driving after police found him asleep in his car at a traffic light in Seoul. His driver's license was suspended and he was eventually fined two million KRW.[121][122]

Philanthropy

edit

Following theFukushima Daiichi nuclear disasterin March 2011, Kim donated 100 millionKRWto earthquake relief efforts in Japan.[120][123]Later that year, he donated an addition 50 million KRW to earthquake relief efforts, as well as 50 million KRW to theKorean Red Cross,and 50 million KRW to a South Korean organization that givescoal briquettesto people in need.[124]In 2012, he donated proceeds from his debut solo concert to an orphanage inFukushima Prefecture.[125]
