[Asia Economy Online Issue Team] The side of A (37), who accused actor Kim Yong-geon (76) of attempted coercion to abort, has expressed that they will not withdraw the accusation despite Kim Yong-geon's statement.

Sun Jong-moon, the lead attorney of Law Firm Gwangya representing A, said in an interview with OSEN on the 2nd, "Kim Yong-geon's statement is not true. We have all the evidence to prove the parts that are false," criticizing him. He emphasized, "It is an attitude of shifting responsibility onto the victim without sincere reflection on his own actions."

He continued, "He was cruel to A until he knew I was appointed as her lawyer. After the lawyer was appointed, his attitude completely changed," he claimed.

Attorney Sun mentioned that the possibility of A withdrawing the accusation is extremely low. He said, "Of course, if he sincerely apologizes, there is a possibility of settlement. But just looking at the statement released today, there seems to be no sincere reflection on his wrongdoing. We will pursue the accusation to the end," he emphasized.

Earlier, it was revealed to the public on the 2nd through the entertainment media Dispatch that A had accused Kim Yong-geon of attempted coercion to abort. Dispatch reported that "Kim Yong-geon was accused by his girlfriend A, whom he met at a drama wrap-up party in 2008 and had been dating for 13 years." A is currently 37 years old, making a 39-year age difference with 76-year-old Kim Yong-geon.

According to the report, the accuser A and Kim Yong-geon met at a drama wrap-up party in 2008 and maintained a good relationship for 13 years. However, in March, when A announced her pregnancy, conflicts arose over premarital pregnancy, leading to a lawsuit.

According to A, upon hearing the pregnancy news, Kim Yong-geon pressured her to have an abortion. Shortly after the report, Kim Yong-geon, through Law Firm Ariyul, stated, "Since we had not promised or planned a future together, surprise and worry came before joy. However, until recently, I had repeatedly conveyed to the other party that I would support and take responsibility for the childbirth, so I did not expect this matter to lead to a legal dispute."

He also expressed, "I feel heavy-hearted thinking that a blessed event was disrupted due to my wrong behavior and that the child to be born might learn about the accusation."
