As he made his way to the police station in Songpa, Seoul for questioning on the 2nd, he was bombarded by media and stated, "I'm sorry. I will faithfully carry out the investigation."
He arrived at the police station on the 2nd at around 9 PM KST and went under a 3-hour-and-50-minute long initial questioning and left on the 3rd at 12:50 AM KST.
During the questioning, Kim Hyun Joong stated, "Although it is true that my emotions got the best of me during a fight with words and I hit her once, the rest of [the accusations] are false."
The police remarked to the media, "Kim Hyun Joong admitted to one assault among the four that he has been accused of, he denied the rest... As for the rib fracture, he said that they didn't even realize it at the time and that it happened when they were just joking around."
The police rep also stated, "As much as the statements of the accuser and accused conflict, we plan to bring in Ms. A. again for further investigation if necessary."
Kim Hyun Joong's statement reflects the statement released by his agency, which stated that things got physical between the two of them once, and that physical fights did not happen repeatedly. However, as reported before, his girlfriend claimed that there were several instances of him physically abusing her over the course of two months.
Accurate translation - 'I laid hands on her once'.
