If you've been keeping up, you'll know that Kim Hyun Joong's side has been insisting for a few months now that Ms. Choi had been lying about everything, including her previous pregnancy and miscarriage, as well as Kim Hyun Joong's assault being the cause of her miscarriage. They also claimed that Ms. Choi blackmailed Kim Hyun Joong into giving her a settlement money of 600 million KRW by telling him that if he does not give her the money, she will expose his assault and her miscarriage to the media.
However, according to Ms. Choi, those are all false claims and lies by Kim Hyun Joong's side in attempts to slander her image.
She has now released a compilation of numerous text message logs and a lengthy letter to refute what Kim Hyun Joong's side is insisting.
In her letter, Ms. Choi began by explaining why she is speaking up after remaining silent these past few months. She stated, "I have been keeping my silence after I filed my lawsuit. I did not try to make any clarifications or issued any responses. This was because I had believed that I thought that the truth will be revealed through the court. However, the longer I remained silent, the more attorney Lee Jae Man (Kim Hyun Joong's lawyer) attacked me. Without any concrete evidence and relying only on assumptions and guesses, he made me into a national criminal."
She also added, "I thought that this was, of course, a price that I had to pay. Because dating Kim Hyun Joong, liking him, being assaulted by him, reconciling with him, and getting impregnated by him again were all due to the choices I made. So I tried to endure it all. I tried to hold it all in. But the funny thing is, it turns out that 'silence is admittance'. I learned that suddenly at one point, attorney Lee Jae Man's claims had become accepted as the truth. Currently, I'm even at the risk of giving birth pre-maturely due to the immense stress I'm under. I think it'll be hard to endure it longer. So I'll reveal the truth, and if there is anything I've done wrong, I will ask for forgiveness."
She then listed several points, refuting the claims that Kim Hyun Joong's lawyer has been mentioning over the past few months, while also revealing new information.
1. Kim Hyun Joong's assault and bodily harm
"Attorney Lee Jae Man says that there was never any assault. He says I fabricated the assault case from May 30, 2014 (2 weeks for full recovery) and July 22, 2014."
Ms. Choi goes on to say that she reported Kim Hyun Joong on August 20, 2014 for 4 cases of assault by Kim Hyun Joong. She explained that even when she withdrew the assault charges against him later, the court pursued legal action for injuries that were caused. To get out of being hit with a serious criminal charge, Kim Hyun Joong needed her to issue a statement to the court about why she did not want him punished.
So, in exchange, Kim Hyun Joong's side gave her 600 million KRW as a form of compensation for damages for the assault. However, Ms. Choi points out that this 600 million KRW that was issued to her in compensation for the assault, is now being described by attorney Lee Jae Man as a settlement fee for when she blackmailed Kim Hyun Joong about revealing her former pregnancy and miscarriage to the world.
She says she never once mentioned the word 'pregnancy' or 'miscarriage' in her court documents, and that it was Kim Hyun Joong who warned her to never mention that to his agency Key East or his lawyer, nor her court documents.
With this, she included text messages from Kim Hyun Joong that tell her "this can't be mentioned in your lawsuit", "you'll get hurt too". She also included the report from the prosecution (see below) that found Kim Hyun Joong guilty of causing bodily harm , and she also says that Kim Hyun Joong himself confessed to his assault during the questioning with the prosecution. Afterwards, he asked her to send a petition to the court [saying that she doesn't want him punished].
2. Pregnancy and miscarriage
"Attorney Lee Jae Man says I was never pregnant back in May of 2014 and that of course there was no miscarriage either. Attorney Lee says that my medical document that describes my 4 weeks of no menstruation cannot be proof of my pregnancy."
Ms. Choi then goes onto say that that her menstruation cycle is very consistent and that she noticed right away when she didn't have her period on her scheduled day. So she tested for pregnancy with pregnancy testers on several occasions (May 14,15 of 2014), even with Kim Hyun Joong around one time, and they all indicated 2 lines (pregnant).
She says Kim Hyun Joong had told her to visit the hospital and she did, but it had been too early to see anything on the ultrasound. However, soon after she learned of Kim Hyun Joong's affair with a female celebrity 'L'. So she confronted him and asked to break up. It was then that Kim Hyun Joong told her it wasn't true and assaulted her for 30 minutes (May 30, 2014). She says she started to suffer bloody bowel discharges and suspected of miscarriage, and event sent Kim Hyun Joong a text saying, 'Because you hit my stomach plenty of times, I think I miscarried.'
She visited the hospital after her bruises subsided 2 weeks later (June 13, 2014), and the hospital told her that they noticed that her endometrium is thickening again, which indicates that her menstruation cycle is once again starting.
With this, she included text message history between herself and a close friend, showing the pregnancy tester results (see below).
3. July abortion and assault
"Attorney Lee Jae Man insists that the repeated pregnancies and miscarriages are lies. The only pregnancy they acknowledge up to now is the current pregnancy. Of course their position is that they have to do a DNA test for the current pregnancy as well."
Ms. Choi then goes on to reveal that after she miscarried on May 30, 2014, she was impregnated again in July 2014. She also says that in their text messages, Kim Hyun Joong also mentioned how it might be too early to go check now (June 29), showing that he knows from her previous pregnancy that going to the gynecologist early will not produce anything on the ultrasound.
So after waiting, she went to the hospital and the result was that she was pregnant, and the ultrasound pictures revealed her womb. She says this diagnosis has already been submitted to the court, and that attorney Lee Jae Man should be well aware of this (even though he does not mention this part in his claims).
She then revealed that this time she also lost her baby, not due to miscarriage, but due to abortion as Kim Hyun Joong did not want the baby. She said text messages show that he had kept suggesting getting an abortion.
She also detailed what happened after her abortion by saying,
"Kim Hyun Joong even said that we should take a trip to Jeju Island together after my [abortion] surgery. I told him that I was having a hard time because it had only been a few days after the surgery, but Kim Hyun Joong even asked me if it was possible to talk to the doctor about it over the phone.
What is important here is that only 3 days after I received the abortion, on July 10, Kim Hyun Joong assaulted me.
Kim Hyun Joong brought over a female celebrity 'J' to his home. I went to visit him with a friend of mine, and caught the two of them in bed naked.
And I was once again mercilessly assaulted by him in the presence of that female celebrity and my friend. I will be calling that female celebrity in as a witness."
4. Current pregnancy
"Attorney Lee Jae Man says that I didn't show them the fetus back in January of this year, and that in March, I even blocked their entrance to the ultrasound room."
Ms. Choi calls this an absurd claim, and explains that getting an ultrasound requires her to pull down her underwear. She says it's hard to even do such a thing in front of her own father, so how could she invite Kim Hyun Joong's parents into the ultrasound room with her? She then reveals that she however asked Kim Hyun Joong to come in with her, but Kim Hyun Joong's mother blocked their conversation. And that this is why Kim Hyun Joong and his parents were not present inside the ultrasound room with her.
She also explains that this was the hospital chosen by Kim Hyun Joong's parents and that even the doctor in charge showed them ultrasound pictures and told them the child is growing well, so she isn't sure why they suspected her of being not pregnant.
She also points out the Kim Hyun Joong's lawyers found pictures she sent her friend, which showed her taking a trip somewhere on a bicycle. They used this to raise suspicion asking how a pregnant woman could be going on trips. However, Ms. Choi says she had been simply sending pictures she took from a previous occasion to her friend, never in her wildest imagination thinking that they would dig up such photos and use it as proof to bring suspicions up about her pregnancy.
