The Kim Hyun Joong drunk driving arrest from last week is moving forward on legal consequences. His case has been passed from the police department to the prosecutors office for handling, which means the police have sufficient evidence for the case to proceed. That’s no surprise since drunk driving hinges on whether he was in a moving vehicle and whether his blood alcohol level as measured on the scene is greater than the legal limit. In this case police arrested him in a car stopped at an intersection, found him asleep at the wheel, and measured his blood alcohol content at 0.075%.
There is even street security camera footage at the scene that contradicts his agency Key East’s initial statement that he was asleep for 3 minutes and also only drove the car 1 km to move it at the request of a parking attendant. Camera footage showed that he was asleep at the wheel for 15 minutes and drove the car 3 km in distance before he passed out at the intersection. Bro, maybe it’s time to go reflect some more cuz clearly your past reflecting didn’t work.
Key East has stuck by Kim Hyun Joong through his entire domestic violence case and it’s no surprise since he is Bae Yong Joon’s protegee and the first after the agency was formed. Now I’m wondering if the agency will continue to rep him and if so how they can possible rehab his image in South Korea, aside from whatever loyal fans who continue to support him now.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

clearly he didnt learn his lesson.really i dont blame him but rather blame his stupid fangirls.they close their eyes to his numerous faults saying something like the court cleared him or his girlfriend lied about him when there was many text messages shown to the public detailing his trashy behaviour.
this sort of blind fangirls support accorded to him and most actors makes them entitled and arrogant.instead of fangirls reprimend him to enable him change for the better,they were showing their public support and about to attend his fanmeet.no wonder he is in a scandal again.
i understand that nobody is perfect but when the culprit shows no remorse and does it again then fangirls should open their eyes and abandon him to serve as a lesson to others.
It seems you are unaware of his legal cases outcome. Just like this article. FYI since 2014 he had gone to 4 court hearings i.e Palimony suit, defamation suit and counter suit and Army court hearing,
Where all rulings were in his favour. 2 of the judges stated in their verdicts that there were criminal elements in his ex's actions. With that a fresh investigation was made and on 30th March 2017 the ex had been charged with criminal charges i.e fraud n manipulated of evidences. In short the ex lied about everything. There were no assaults no proven records of multiple pregnancies and abortions and broken ribs. The ex's father himself confirmed that she was pregnant once i.e with the existing baby. The famous bruises photos were never presented in court. And there was a witness and a photo of her wearing white sleeveless without any bruises seen drinking while she was supposedly pregnant with broken ribs. The pregnancy test kit she published through media was proven in court downloaded from the internet. The obygn she met testified that the she asked her to forge her pregnancy. Even after she was told that she was not pregnant she still lied to KHJ and got KRW100M to supposedly undergo abortions. In her kakao conversations her mother even encouraged her to get as much money as possible from KHJ. Almost all her kakao conversation with KHJ that were published were manipulated to further tarnish KHJ's image. So we the fans really do know where to place our loyalty. Please check your facts so that KHJ will no be further wronged.
Well thanks for presenting the latest updates on his issue with the ex GF. That will teach him a lesson to be more careful about his personal life. He should have stopped meeting her after her first police report. It's also his fault for reconciling with her. She must be super pretty and hot.
As for his latest drunk driving, the court should suspend his driving license. Let him engage a proper driver to bring him around.
Wasn't the initial assault claims admitted by KHJ? Can you give me a non-KHJ fan's translation of the court proceedings please? I'm genuinely interested. And the child's paternity test results, the timeline of events just does not make sense to me. Why would someone have sex with someone who falsely accuse you of domestic abuse? If she wanted money, why did she go to the media in the first place?
He reconciled because the ex lied saying she was pregnant at that time. Later she wanted to abort and requested KRW100M. If you can remember later the ex disclosed somewhere end of 2014 that there was a marriege talk between both families. This was after she was pregnanted for real with the existing baby. During this talk the ex's father confirmed after being asked by KHJ parent that this was the only time she was pregnant (i guess because the ex's father didnt know about her lies). This was when KHJ's father realised that she had lied and extorted the KRW600M from KHJ. (A deal he had to signed a part from the apology later).KHJ n his father then hired a new lawyer confronted her n cancelled the marriege talk. This was when she flipped again and started another set of accusation and legal action. So you see KHJ accepted her back its because he believed her lies and wanted to take responsibility. For your information KHJ never admitted he hit her. The police statement he made then released by the police was .. "he might have accidentally hit her when showing his martial art skills". But during court hearing what acctually happened was she came to his house after KHJ wanted to break up .. she forced herself in and an argument ensued. She flipped and starting to attack him. He just pushed and showed her in defence. It was also revealed in court of KHJ bruises, clawed marks ect through multiple videos taken by his staff and fans during his concerts.

Regardless of all this....they are parents of a baby boy!!!
Hope he has not forgotten that......driving drunk does not say much!
In the Palimony suit the ex tried to claimed division of assets and properties under common law marriege. She lost it because she cant prove they did lived in together. Even her best friend n families testified that they never been to KHJ's house or even met him. They were granted joint custody n KHJ agrees to pay child support. He had continually showed he was ever ready to take responsibilty.
I don't understand why BYJ is so protective of him. He has so many potential stars signed under his agency namely Park Seo Joon and Lee Hyun Woo. Kim Hyung Joong is a far cry from the image that was built up around his mentor BYJ. I doubt that he shaped KHJ into this. I don't get any feeling of remorse from KHJ but a desperate star who wanted to reclaim back his fame and glory only to continue making mistakes and failed miserably.
Since 2014 he had gone through 4 court hearings with all rulings were in his favour. In short the ex lied about everything since day one. 2 of the judges in their verdicts stated that there were criminal elements in the ex's actions. With that a fresh investigation was made and on 30th March 2017 the ex was charged in court for criminal charges i.e fraud n manipulation of evidences. So actually this was his first real offence. Read my above comment for detail court facts. In future please update and check your facts before making serious allegations like these. And please show me that you do feel remose for your rash allegations.
Well ..... I hope after the drunk driving he can focus on his singing and acting career coz I think he had improved on his acting abilities in his last drama. He has natural charisma so it helps a lot. So perhaps he should try something darker in his next role.. like what others had done: jo hyun jae, our chief Kim....
He has Kim Soo Hyun, Park Seo Joon (who doesn't have to take a break to go to the army since he served already), Lee Hyun Woo and more.
if BYJ is keeping Kim Hyun Joong, it's because KHJ needs him, not the other way around. Domestic abuse and drunk driving.... what a combination.
That alcohol content is illegal, but it is really not that high that he should pass out so wonder if he popped some pills or something. Anyway, the guy needs a keeper and should consider himself lucky he didn't hurt himself or anyone else.
I was thinking the same thing, what did he take to make him pass out? I just don't get it w/him. After all of that bad publicity and scandal you would think he would be on his best behavior.
Hello, that is such a harsh allegation. If he has taken whatever pill you are assuming, it must have been revealed in his blood test too. He passed out easily simply because he has been practicing nom-stop for his upcoming April26 Fanmeet in Olympic Park. He needs to do double hard work since he just came out from military 2 weeks ago (during that time) and the concert date is just around the corner. Maybe, you need to have your judgemental psyche checked too!
It is sad to read and see this whole mess, he surely is not in a good place after what had happened the past 2 yrs.
@baby G.you really really believe that he is innocent just because the court found no evidence or the court say so?come on dont be naive,do you know what goes on under the table? how many times have we read some celebrities scandalous behaviour and later on the victims retract their allegations,do you really believe that, 100% of all the alleged victims are after the oppa"s money or revenge for breaking up with them.we are in this world where someone will even kill someone and goes scot free because he or she is rich and powerful enough,how more when a person only abuse his girlfriend in this bias towards men society called korea.
this is the reason why koreans or knetz still bash and dont believe his innocent claims despite the court saying he is.
Again look at what happened in the driving case and the numerous blatant lies him and his agency told the public.if he wasnt caught by the cctv, would the public really have known the thruth?.
this is a man who lies about the driving scandal and you expect me to believe that he and the court is telling the truth about his ex girlfriend.you can believe all you want but not me.
Kim Hyun Joong fans are officially nuts.. :)
Amen to that.
Just ignore them, they need help no one here can give them.
This is a serious case. And I am just so relieved no innocent lives were affected.
...the day after the first assault, the plaintiff visited an orthopedist to check for broken bones...
Considering the criminal act the day before the defendant's enlistment date [what has this even got to do with anything? So guys must be treated as saints before they enlist??], the severe defamation and damage to the defendant's image and severe psychological stress, the plaintiff shall give compensation in the amount of 10 million won to the defendant."
After reading the above two from the court's statement, I don't give a shit what the Korean courts say. It's just such a hilarious farce.
So yeah, you acknowledge that she was abused... and yet you're charging her for apparently lying about the miscarriage and hurting his pwecious widdle fweewings and not him for domestic abuse? Feed them all to the pigs.
Or not. I wish those pigs no harm.
Hear, hear. His fans are delusional at this point, haven't his own agency's initial statements about the drunk driving established that he's a liar too?
In 2014 she dropped her charged after receiving KRW600M won and the police statement was "khj might have hit her when showinh her his martial art skills". That was the official statement released back then. The problem is because most of you get your inform from tabloid media which sometime carried gravely mistake in translations and the used of legal terms. And for your infor the ex made an appearance in sbs tv interview spewing all her lies a day before his enlistent. And that appearence was one of the ground that proved her lies. The pregnancy test kit she publushed to media was proven in court as an image she downloaded from internet. The famous bruises photo was never used in that tv intetview nor court.
Yes i believed the 4 courts with different judges. The obygn that testified against her. Her best friend that testified that she never been to his house or even met him. The photos presented by a witness showing her with sleeveless with no bruises she was drinking away with her friends when she was supposed to be pregnant with vroken ribs. No proven record of her broken ribs too. All the kakao conversation presented in court showing how she manipulated the content. Yes i believe the report i read through korean news portal like Daum n Naver because they were the same medias that reported her lies and allegations in tge first place. And i believe the police investigation that resulted in her being indicted later charged in court for fraud n manipulation of evidences because this was the same police that received her false allegations in the first place. Yes i believe korea's justice system that accuited KHJ of all alegations because this wAs the same system that impeached Korea's President and now in the process to charge her and her aid with criminal charges. And the same people and system that remanded Samsung's no 1 for grafting. You don't know who I am so its not fair to judge n say that i Am naive. But if believing in court facts n has trust in legal system n the police is naive .. then I am. So if you feel that you are wiser by saying all the things you said based on your own prejudice n what you believe were the truth without any facts to back up was an act of a wiser person ... then think whatever you like
Blah, blah, blah. Of course some court cases are bought, but that doesn't mean that this happened here. The Choi case is separate from the DUI. He was a tiny bit over the limit, and he is known to not get enough sleep. This is the only time in his life that this happened. Also, regarding the Choi case...not one other woman has ever said he has abused her, and he has had a few girlfriends. If you don't like him and refuse to believe consistent evidence, then why bother to read about it. If he is not someone you like or believe, then you have a strange hobby of trying to find fault against him. Guess what? I don't like Johnny Depp so I don't bother reading about him. Why don't you do yourself a favor and follow suit. You could have a much better life.
He's trash, serves him right.
He deserve everything coming to him , I can't believe there is still some people defending his ass... what a crazy world..
You shoukd update yourself with the latest news. KHJ never assault her n she had been lying since day 1. Its proven in 4 different court hearings n on 30th March 2017 the ex was charged in court for Fraud n Manipulation of evidences. You believe her allegations when the medias reported them but when the same media reported her being criminally charged you don't. ? So bias.
I am not his fan. I read a bit here and there about the case. What i am wondering is why are there people who hated him so much that they must see him fall and badly hurt. He did you no wrong. Whether he is really an abuser or not, we dont know. We dont need to know because if he is, there is retribution and he will suffer though he managed to escape from the legal systems. Does those accusations of his fans and even calling them "nuts" make you happier? These "nuts" you are referring to may be more successful than you in real life. If you feel better when witnessing the suffering of those you dont even know, something is wrong with you. Dont tell me that you are talking about Justice. Unless you are the plaintiff herself, dont claim to know much about the case.
"I am not his fan".... [insert surejan.gif]
KHJ should learned from his allegations before that he has
been accuited. Its a time for him to think and re-start his
carrier... rather than making another incedent!... he just
wasting his nice carrier before!... all his time & sacrefices
will become useless or in vain...
Ms Gina, I am not his fan. I choose to watch drama not because to get upset over any of the actors but to relax and actually escape from the hard realty of life. When I see antis cursing and swearing other actors who did them no wrong, I feel very uncomfortable. Instead of releasing oneself from frustrations of life, some are asking for it. Getting angry over someone who nobody except himself knows the fact is a waste of part of your life. I did not intend to reply to you but do feel that you could probably be a sadist and life can be very miserable for you.
