The battle between Kim Hyun Joong and his ex-gf over the status of their current relationship and her pregnancy has turned into a messy back-and-forth media war.
In response to comments from Kim Hyun Joong’s side yesterday, her lawyer released a statement addressing the rumors circulating, and it confirmed both her pregnancy and that Kim Hyun Joong is the father.
The lawyer stated over the phone, “It’s true that Miss Choi is pregnant. It’s also true that Kim Hyun Joong is the father.”
“Miss Choi has been having a tough time with her pregnancy being revealed to the world; she is currently visiting clinics and getting rest and stability,” the lawyer added.
As far as the accusations that she’s been avoiding contact with his team (which for some reason would be RIDICULOUS to people), her lawyer said that they’ve been in contact.
“It is not true that she’s hiding out. After she notified them of her pregnancy, she met with Kim Hyun Joong’s side even until recently. She contacted them and met with them.”
Note that she met with his team, not him. More on that later.
Anyway, Kim Hyun Joong fans and netizens proceeded to react to this as expected, by basically inferring that she was faking the pregnancy or something of that nature. That made it all the more hilarious when his side clarified that they believe the pregnancy is real.
“Kim Hyun Joong has never denied the fact that Miss Choi is pregnant… It is a shame that it’s coming off as if Kim Hyun Joong is suspicious about Miss Choi being pregnant… The reason that Kim Hyun Joong had asked to go for a checkup with her is just to check up on the health of the baby and the mother.”
But then his lawyers act confused as to why Kim Hyun Joong’s ex doesn’t want to meet him.
“Kim Hyun Joong was contacted by Miss Choi back in January about her pregnancy and also received ultrasound pictures. Following this, he had requested to go for a checkup with her and their parents. However, there was no response to this request. What we meant when we said ‘Kim Hyun Joong stated that if Choi’s pregnancy is true, then he will be taking on the necessary responsibilities’ in our previous statement, is that he wanted to check the health condition of the baby and Miss Choi.”
Maybe, just maybe, she doesn’t want to deal with the guy who beat her? She tried twice and maybe she was finally just done?
So again, why do people find her unwillingness to meet with him weird? She notified him of the pregnancy because he’s the father, which makes sense, and that appears to be about all there was going to be to it. Later, his side requested to meet, she meets with his people and it’s fine, but has refused to meet with the man who abused her. Shocking.
Anyway, the skepticism surrounding all this led his ex’s lawyers to reply that they have proof that Kim Hyun Joong is the father and are disappointed that this is getting drawn out.
“It seems that rather than being suspicious about whether Miss Choi is pregnant, their concern is more of whether the baby is Kim Hyun Joong’s or not… We have plenty of documents, so it will not be hard to confirm it for them. If Kim Hyun Joong’s side really wants to go through DNA testing to confirm, then we will have to oblige, but as both sides have suffered a lot of damage even now, we worry that this damage will continue to grow.”
Just recently, Kim Hyun Joong’s side released a statement that the ex didn’t show up at the meeting they agreed to.
“It’s hard to understand that the pregnancy was confirmed through Ms. Choi’s lawyer as well as the fact that they have evidence. Determining whether or not she is pregnant is something that can be figured out at the hospital directly. There’s no reason for either Ms. Choi or her lawyer to release evidence of the pregnancy to the public.”
Again, not odd that she doesn’t want to see him anymore.
Also, what? Her side is talking about pregnancy proofs because netizens and Kim Hyun Joong’s side were inferring that she was faking this whole thing, so her lawyer came out and said, “Yeah, it’s real, now fuck off.”
It’s rather easy to see how the initial statement released by KHJ’s side could be questioning the truth of the pregnancy.
“Kim Hyun Joong attempted to contact Choi again to confirm the pregnancy, but was not able receive a response.”
“Kim Hyun Joong stated that if Choi’s pregnancy is true, then he will be taking on the necessary responsibilities.”
I mean, his side had to release a clarifying statement saying that they weren’t doubting her, which shows that they acknowledge the public took it like they were calling her a liar to begin with.
“Kim Hyun Joong has never denied the fact that Miss Choi is pregnant … It is a shame that it’s coming off as if Kim Hyun Joong is suspicious about Miss Choi being pregnant.”
And now, after all that, his team is asking why her side feels the need to prove the pregnancy is legit to the public? Really? It’s because his team’s statements basically put her on blast, so her side responded.
Simple, to me.
Anyway, I make all those points, because his fans and netizens are seriously out of control.
This whole Kim Hyun Joong thing needs to stop… either she's trying to ruin his career or she wants him, either way I'm beginning to think-

So either she’s pissed at the guy who beat her or she unfortunately thinks she can’t live without him. Uh … yeah. He’s the victim in all this. Glad we got that straight.

Okay, let’s assume she has lost her mind and is “crazy” … any ideas as to why she’s at that point in regards to her relationship with Kim Hyun Joong? Did anything happen between the two of them that may be causing her to be in distress for issues relating to him?
Again, he admitted to hitting her once and also admits to a separate incident later that resulted in her breaking her ribs while he was “practicing martial arts” for a role. So why would her credibility or mental state mean anything when that was all coming from him? Why is her mental state even relevant when her current mental state is likely the result of him beating the shit out of her to begin with? Now we’re acting like Kim Hyun Joong has the credibility here?
What?

I guess I just don’t get the end game for his fans and netizens.
The absolute “best” scenario for Kim Hyun Joong fans is that she’s either trying to get revenge on him or is trying to rope him into marriage because she’s attached to him, so she’s going about it by either trying to make him look worse to the public or is trying to keep him around with a baby. And even if you DIDN’T believe that her hypothetical revenge attempt was a byproduct of the abuse she suffered — which is very likely, psychologically speaking — all you’re left with is the right to support an admitted abuser. Oh, and you get chance to belittle the mental state of an abuse victim.
That’s the reward if Kim Hyun Joong scores a “win” here.
Uh … yay?
