Present at the plea date were Choi's lawyer Sun Jong Moon and and Kim Hyun Joong's lawyer Lee Jae Man. Sun Jong Moon submitted the documents related to Choi's pregnancy and miscarriage while Lee Jae Man provided arguments to counter the claims made by Choi's side.�

Sun Jong Moon stated, "Today we submitted the documents that show Kim Hyun Joong exchanged text messages with Choi acknowledging the contents related to the pregnancy and miscarriage. Though we provided hard evidence, Kim Hyun Joong's side still refuses to acknowledge anything. We even requested a witness but they denied the request, saying a witness is unnecessary. But we have all the documents that will confirm the truth."�

Sung Jong Moon further claimed that it was wrong for Kim Hyun Joong to change his stance after he said he directly checked with Choi this past March that she was indeed pregnant. The lawyer also declared that Kim Hyun Joong's side falsely claimed that Choi wasn't abused, nor did she suffer from a miscarriage.�

The lawyer asserted, "Kim Hyun Joong clearly knew that [Choi was pregnant] but he told her, 'Your pregnancy. Did you get an abortion or not.' He also said her miscarriage was an 'abortion' which is an incredibly abusive statement. Kim Hyun Joong is behaving in a way that is not manly. He isn't acknowledging the pregnancy or the birth. I hope that he doesn't show this kind of side anymore. He knows well enough how he and Choi were together and lived together. He knew about the pregnancy and the miscarriage, as well, but he says they don't concern him. He questions, 'Is it really mine?' It's truly a tragic scenario. It's quite a big shock if you look back on it. It's shocking that he didn't celebrate the child he had with the woman he loved. I can't help but feel sorry for my client who is living [alone] with her new baby."

Sun Jong Moon also revealed, "We plan to bring a paternity suit against Kim Hyun Joong. It's just taking some time because we have to register the birth of the baby and take care of other matters [related to the birth]. We will check the DNA at a place that is reputable and legally recognized."�

Kim Hyun Joong's legal representative Lee Jae Man told the press after the plea date, "The courts have denied Choi's side's request to obtain a witness. Choi's side once again submitted the documents that show the text messages exchanged with Kim Hyun Joong. Nothing has changed after this plea date. Choi's side didn't provide any documents related to her treatments or any images. Choi has totally mutilated Kim Hyun Joong using the press. Kim Hyun Joong and his family doesn't even want to meet with Choi anymore."�

Kim Hyun Joong and Choi's sides will continue their legal battle at the fourth plea date to be held this coming October 30 at Seoul Central District Court.
