What REALLY happened in the Kim Hyun Joong case?

Pann: The shocking turn of events in Kim Hyun Joong's assault scandal




tl;dr: Police are only investigating ONE out of the four accounts of assault that A claimed happened because the other three do not have enough evidence to prove it was Kim Hyun Joong. The one being investigated is the one Kim Hyun Joong testified to there being "one light physical fight" between BOTH parties that occurred at their break up (which the translated version leaves out but is included in the Korean documents).



1. [+198, -9] It's really weird how there isn't one article shielding Kim Hyun Joong. First time seeing a celebrity lawsuit like this.

2. [+177, -7] I wonder if people know that she got involved with Dispatch before she filed her lawsuit and that Dispatch accompanied her to file it at the police station? She's filing a lawsuit of injury that doesn't even need a lawyer but she already got herself fixed up with lawyers who are infamous for media play. Meanwhile, Kim Hyun Joong the celebrity had a regular lawyer ㅋㅋ First time seeing a non-celebrity have more media play than a celebrity..

3. [+177, -7] The reporting of his scandal is not normal at all. They released his full name to the media even before the lawsuit was even filed. The media was completely biased to A the entire time.

4. [+86, -2] Kim Hyun Joong never admitted to assaulting her. He never announced after police investigations that he admitted to it. All he said was that there was one light physical fight which journalists twisted into all sorts of controversial things.

5. [+83, -2] So easy to bury someone nowadays

6. [+79, -1] Meanwhile his company refuses to do anything about it because he's not renewing his contract

7. [+79, -3] Kim Hyun Joong never assaulted her... All of the evidence provided by Dispatch like pictures, diagnoses, texts don't stand in court.

8. [+79, -4] Wow, So Kim Hyun Joong was the saint for putting up with her. Guess you can't trust everything on the internet.

9. [+78, -4] Her evidence really is lacking. She really fooled the entire world with that? I hope Kim Hyun Joong clears his name and comes out on TV again. Dispatch, A, and Key East should all be punished, Key East for doing nothing about all of this.

10. [+76, -0] Why isn't Key East doing anything about this???

Oh boy...well, I'm confused.
Where's Choi Dal Po when you need him?

But he admitted to a physical altercation, though?
I find it strange that if all this evidence to the contrary is present that his company wouldn't have stepped in.And the timing is...

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

I know, right? He just came out saying that he's getting ready for a new album and a new tour and evidence is coming out saying that he was innocent, even though he admitted to hitting his girlfriend?

The timing...huh.

This is how you prepare a comeback.

[5dogs1cat.livejournal.com]

tldr~
They couldn't have released this sooner? even if khj did or did not do the do, why did his company never bothered to release all these info and let his image go down the drain? I believe key east is not a small company so there should be reporters at their disposal. why now?
makes it hard to believe that they're doing this not just because of the comeback smh.
((he's still human trash in my head i'm sorry))

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

if she was lying, wouldn't key east have sued for slander?

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

lol nice try
it's disgusting tbh
i think i've said it already but i just hope he's not friends anymore with people i like

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

But he admitted they got into one fight? (at least that what he told if I remember well) What else do people need???
If she was indeed a liar, he would have never said something like that. He would have kept with the "I'm not guilty" instead of "it's a misunderstanding we fought once let's get over with it" which is basically implying he assaulted her at least once.
It doesn't make any sense.
Uh I would be so pissed if he managed to get somewhat popular again after that.

It sucks that if there was actual abuse that one time that it may not be believed because the other three instances were made up and lied about. I wonder why she/Dispatch felt the need to embellish the story? Maybe she didn't have physical proof of the fight that they both admit happened, so they made up the rest to help her story. Not a good idea.

[lovelyxbeauty.livejournal.com]

He admitted it tho, even if it was just once it's one time too many. She also probably went to dispatch for help as his company may have tried to bury it.

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

... even it was just once it's one time too many.

i first read about this a few weeks ago bc a bunch of dummy accounts with bad english were spamming this on reddit and int kpop sites, except back then the graphics hadnt been translated into english. it was so obviously either someone from his company or a delusional fan. def just trying to clear his name before his comeback.

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

I think she was a chaebol (or at least very rich), which is why she could go HARD and only wanted an apology.

So yes she did a power play, but that doesn't change the fact that he hit her. And if she didn't he would've.

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

And if she didn't he would've.

that is a scary thought.

[sundaetea.livejournal.com]

lol okay...this is hard to believe when he even said himself that he had hit her.

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

his reputation can't recover either way, he's admitted to being physical and like someone commented before, once is one time too many.

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

he already admitted to at least one act of physical violence towards her, that is all the proof we need

[edanz-castle.livejournal.com]

+1

[frequency.livejournal.com]

he already admitted to abusing her once, but i guess that doesn't mean anything, right? ugh.

[momomoing.livejournal.com]

Didn't he already admit he abused her once? jFC

[pastelpinklace.livejournal.com]

Still a fucker because he admitted it once, and only 1 out of four, fuck this guy, next

[love-allure.livejournal.com]

lol @ his fans' shielding tactics. he admitted it once, come the fuck on.

[gigabytexx.livejournal.com]

I dont think you can take sides tho. Both of them got into physical fight (IF the case is he hit her, she hit him too) but she decided to take this matter further because ~guys shouldnt hit a girl back~ so unless the girl got it worse, I dont think it makes it right that she blew this out of proportion to tarnish someone's name.

internalized misogyny is a powerful drug

[noonabites.livejournal.com]

This is most likely unrelated to anything, but it rubs me the wrong way when others begin to argue that it's wrong for a guy to hit a girl but not vise versa (in cases outside the realm of defense). Though I don't consider myself aggressive, I do like physically goofing off and rough housing, much like the kind we often let brothers get away with.

However, I don't think it should be stated so simply that if a guy hits his partner and they respond in the same fashion back, it's okay because they are equally at fault. How about if either one was defending themselves? That doesn't make for an equal situation. If he hit her without physical justification (weapon threatening, etc.), he's in the wrong, regardless of sex.

I wish we could discuss these things without the tacky responses. Oh Omona.

[gigabytexx.livejournal.com]

I couldn't see the gif that kaninasan was replying (because my isp banned imgur and I'm not interested to take a look at it through proxy, because... it's predictable lol)

But yes, I would like to discuss this matter because first of all, my culture (and everything I grew up with) taught me that a guy hits a girl is totally wrong BECAUSE it shows that the guy is coward (or people used to say, acts like a girl) that he can only hit a weaker person than him. As far as I know after I discovered internet, if people associate women as weak, then it means sexism/misogyny or whatever it is and we're not allowed to do that. In this case I was merely wondering; if a guy hits a girl causes the entire world to curse him, what IF it's a girl who hit a guy first & the guy didn't take revenge?
People may argue that 'violence is wrong no matter what gender did it' then why is it fun to watch 2 dudes punch each other & not okay for 2 different genders hit each other? (serious question here, any rude replies will be ignored)
Does it mean double standard here or what is it?

Also, I'm trying to be neutral, because I really dont like it when people immediately sided with the 1st person who claimed to be abused, not because victim-blaming but because there are so many shitty people in the world so I think it's better to think everything with clear-headed.

Why I feel comfortable taking her side.

[chihana11.livejournal.com]

He didn't accuse her of hitting him. I'm sure if he could have he would have. I believe his story was that he was showing her his MMA moves and slipped or something?

He himself acknowledged his wrongdoing when he apologized publicly.

He has been found guilty by a court. I'm sure if he could have used this "evidence" in his favor during the hearing he would have.

Re: Why I feel comfortable taking her side.

[gigabytexx.livejournal.com]

I have never approve of what KHJ did, and never will (and never been a fan, just to clarify things). I just wanted to make sure that people hating him is it because he hits a girl (which related to gender, thinking that a guy shouldn't hit a girl because the sentiment of a girl being weak --- please refer to my reply to noonabites above) or simply because it's violence? I remember the article about Hyoyeon hit his boyfriend but no one hating her, people will keep finding excuse like "ooh she's drunk" or "ooh the guy didn't get serious injury". And whenever I came up with legit discussion no one ever explain things nicely to me, instead they will just throw around reaction gifs but expecting people to be educated? come on.

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

why isn't he in jail?? ugh asshole

[syimato.livejournal.com]

As far as i remember, he admit being in a 'light physical fight' with her.. I don't know.. I stumble upon this article weeks ago and they said the english translation of the previous articles/news about the scandal are bad.. They said that he admit into a physical fight, but he did not said that he abused her and such. i really dont knowwww.

Nevertheless he still needs to be punished for that one physical fight, but if it is true that he has been falsely accused of being an abuser, then what a shitty way to bring down someone...

Yes we need Choi Dal Po and most importantly Park Soo Haa so that he can hear your voice within. =_=

Nope

[chihana11.livejournal.com]

If there was evidence she was lying it would have been brought up by him in court.

Interesting timing of this "evidence".
