Additionally, there was a clause that the woman would pay the actress back twice the settlement amount if the woman violated the agreed settlement. 

The woman commented, "I wasn't sure if Hwang Jung Eum was really sorry and regretful of her action. She was treating me as if I was some money-hungry person who was trying to rip her off with settlement money. I couldn't stand it so I filed a suit." 

According to the woman, Hwang Jung Eum slashed the settlement amount by half from the original amount they discussed and that the actress would pay it over time.
