'A,' the ex-girlfriend who recently filed for the withdrawal of her lawsuit against Kim Hyun Joong on the grounds of assault on September 17, made it clear that there were no negotiations or talks over settlement money.

Her attorney told Star News on September 18, "Settlement money was never spoken of from the moment we received this case to the present moment.  Without settlement money, we decided to withdraw the lawsuit after receiving the apology from Kim Hyun Joong."

Her attorney stated, "Our client and Kim Hyun Joong did not simply date one or two times, but sincerely loved each other throughout two years of dating.  It's funny to ask him for money, and there was no reason to accept it even if it had been offered.

Assault is assault, but the problem was that her pride as a woman was hurt.  That was why she wanted a sincere apology.  Kim Hyun Joong showed regret and we received an apology from him, so she withdrew the lawsuit on the grounds she did not desire punishment."
