Singer Kim Hyun Joong has been fined five million KRW (approx. 4600 USD) for injuring and harming his girlfriend through assault.
“Kim [Hyun Joong] stated that he had ‘no intentions of intentionally hitting her,’ and that he was ‘showing her his fighting skills when she was accidentally hurt,’ but the injuries on her body clearly indicate assault, and Kim Hyun Joong has been charged accordingly,” says the prosecution. “However, there was a settlement and letter of apology submitted, and upon consideration of those things, Kim Hyun Joong has been summarily indicted.”
Kim Hyun Joong had beaten his girlfriend last May, which left the victim with a diagnosed two weeks worth of injuries. But that was not the only case of violent outburst from the singer. Last July, when he was allegedly ‘showing’ his MMA (mixed martial arts) techniques to his girlfriend, he fractured her ribs, which took her six weeks from which to recover. At that point, the girlfriend went to the police and took legal action against Kim Hyun Joong.
Between May and July, there was a total of four claimed cases of assault, but Kim Hyun Joong’s girlfriend withdrew two formal complaints. The remaining two cases were taken up to the prosecution, which ultimately resulted in the fine.

Police, "Kim Hyun Joong was merely demonstrating to his girlfriend how to do a martial arts move, he had no intention of assaulting her."
1. [+384, -6] Did the journalist choose that picture intentionally
2. [+340, -14] I saw fans going around trying to media play that Kim Hyun Joong is innocent ㅋㅋㅋㅋ So he did assault her for the injury that resulted in two weeks of hospitalization. Fans kept trying to argue that the woman was a kkot-baem and that Kim Hyun Joong was the victim in this.
3. [+303, -11] What kind of martial arts move was he showing her that he beat her until she bruised all over her body.
4. [+28, -5] Okay, I'd believe it if he said something more believable like they were in a loud verbal fight and he slapped her or something but what??? He was showing his girlfriend a martial arts move???? He calls that an excuse? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It'd show that he was reflecting more if he just told the truth and said he got mad and beat her with his fist or something but he calls it a martial arts demonstration ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He clearly doesn't care about reflecting at all if he's looking this hard to try and make himself look better..... pathetic, a martial arts demonstration ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+11, -2] So he used his girlfriend as a sandbag

1. [+23,281, -195] What a fitting picture for the article
2. [+17,013, -262] Lee Byung Hun and Clara saved him
3. [+15,219, -367] So you can break a rib bone for $5,000...
4. [+12,766, -195] Wow, look at him releasing this news right at the perfect timing with all of the other scandals so that he gets buried.
5. [+2,152, -50] Such a pathetic excuse ㅋㅋ Martial arts demonstration... is your girlfriend your sandbag?
6. [+2,110, -31] Martial arts demonstration ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
7. [+1,764, -62] All of the stupid fangirls who kept trying to claim the woman was setting this whole thing up can screw off now
8. [+1,596, -68] This honestly makes my blood boil... He seriously thought an excuse like using his girlfriend for a martial arts demonstration would work? I seriously want to kill myself for even being a fan of this guy in the past... My heart is beating so fast. He actually thought to cover his crime with an excuse like that...

Date: 2015-01-19 10:40 pm (UTC)i'm glad that park si hoo hasn't been able to come back on tv yet (although he's doing shit overseas still), hopefully we have the same for this asshole.
i feel sorry for the fans though, to be so deluded to a point that you start fabricating shit to defend your oppa (who's probably younger than them since a lot of these fans were in their 40s...) and blame the victim... man.
