Singer Kim Jung-hoon Loses Compensation Lawsuit Against Ex-Partner Who Revealed Pregnancy News

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] Kim Junghoon (42), formerly of the group UN, filed a claim for damages for defamation against his ex-girlfriend, but the court did not accept it.

According to the court on the 18th, Judge Kim Hyunseok of Civil Division 90 at the Seoul Central District Court recently ruled against the plaintiff in the first trial of a 100 million won damage claim lawsuit filed by Kim against his ex-girlfriend A.

Earlier, in September 2020, Kim filed a lawsuit stating, "A repeatedly threatened me with the fact that she was pregnant," and "she spread false information that I cut off contact with her or forced her to have an abortion, or reported it to media outlets, thereby damaging my reputation."

However, the first trial dismissed the claim, stating that it was difficult to accept such claims based solely on the evidence submitted by Kim.

The court stated, "Although the defendant posted photos of the fetus and pregnancy test on social networking services (SNS) and tagged the plaintiff, considering the related ruling that the child born to the defendant was judged to be the plaintiff's biological child, it is difficult to see such actions as constituting an illegal act. Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is without merit."

Since Kim did not appeal, the ruling was finalized as is.
