On May 11, legal representatives of Kim Hyun Joong addressed the recent reports of his ex-girlfriend, Ms. Choi, who claimed that the abuse caused her to suffer a miscarriage.

According to the report, reps of Kim Hyun Joong are claiming that the actor had already sent in his settlement for her miscarriage due to physical assault in the amount of 600 million KRW (~ $546,000 USD). 

Kim Hyun Joong's lawyer commented "The miscarriage last year is what Ms. Choi claims, and she received 600 million KRW from us in settlement fee because she said she would spread it to the media about being abused while pregnant. When Ms. Choi had threatened him saying she lost the baby due to his assault, Kim Hyun Joong believed her and gave her the 600 milliion KRW. However, If her previous claims about her miscarriage turn out to be false, then we plan to take legal action against her." 

The lawyer also stated to Star News, "If her claims were lies, then it is [considered as] a threat. However, even if it were true, then it is defamation for disclosing what was already settled in private. We are preparing to take legal action," the lawyer stated.

However, Ms Choi's lawyers gave an opposing argument, claiming that they did not receive 600 million KRW as a settlement fee, but rather a compensation fee for not pursuing civil and criminal liability for the repeated assault and injury. 

Ms Choi's lawyers stated, "She (Ms. Choi) did not mention anything about her miscarriage to anyone at the time. Ms. Choi went through a miscarriage in June of last year due to the physical assault she received from Kim Hyun Joong. At the time, Kim Hyun Joong was aware that she was pregnant, but assaulted her anyways." 

Meanwhile, Ms Choi is reported to be pregnant again and is expected to give birth in September while Kim Hyun Joong will be entering the army on May 12.
