Singer Kim Hyun-joong summoned the controversy over his ex-girlfriend. He calmly spoke about the five-year legal battle and said, "I gained nothing and lost nothing."
On the 27th, the YouTube channel "B-grade Studio" released content titled "We hosted the sleeping cosmic superstar," featuring singer Kim Hyun-joong and actor Park Hyo-jun.
That day Kim Hyun-joong took an honest stance on past controversies surrounding him. First, host Nam Ho-yeon noted, "Coincidentally, you became involved in an assault dispute with a woman."
About that, Kim Hyun-joong candidly said, "In the shove situation, when it was recognized as 'that is also assault,' a summary order of 5 million won came out. I just said I would pay that much. I didn't know it would blow up like this."
When the hosts said, "Everything resulted in not guilty or no charges, but many people don't know the ruling," he showed a calm demeanor, saying, "I don't care about that case."
In particular, Kim Hyun-joong candidly expressed his feelings about personal controversies that plagued him for years, including conflicts over his ex-girlfriend's pregnancy and allegations of assault, drawing attention. Kim Hyun-joong previously fought a truth battle with his ex-girlfriend, a person surnamed A, over pregnancy and assault. At the time, Kim Hyun-joong had risen to stardom through the drama "Boys Over Flowers," and as a youth star he drew much attention, so the fallout was large.
Afterwards, Kim Hyun-joong engaged in a legal battle with a person surnamed A for five years from 2015, and the case ended with some of Kim Hyun-joong's claims succeeding and the person surnamed A receiving a 100 million won fine. However, Kim Hyun-joong's once-notable image fell, and he had a long hiatus.
The controversy was also mentioned on "B-grade hearing." The hosts said, "The girlfriend case was the biggest. At the time there are stories that she demanded 1.6 billion won."
Kim Hyun-joong said, "You ask questions sharper than the court," and regarding demands for money he said, "I don't know. At that time my lawyer handled the matter. Everything was settled." He then again calmly said, "It took a very long time to be acquitted, and after such a long time I gained nothing and lost nothing."
The hosts said, "Once a frame is placed on an entertainer, they keep being 'that person from the assault case,'" and Kim Hyun-joong laughed, saying, "I don't even do fighting gestures. If I do, there will be someone who will definitely capture it."
Kim Hyun-joong added, "But I know that it can't be undone, and I don't reminisce about the past. I'm someone who thinks the future to live in is important."
He went on to say about past incidents, "I'm not resentful. There's no need to be resentful, and I realized that for entertainers, not guilty is not the same as innocence."
Kim Hyun-joong experienced a long hiatus after personal controversies and military service, and he is active as a singer. In February 2022 he surprised fans by announcing his marriage to his first love, a non-celebrity of the same age.
