 'Ex-girlfriend controversy'Huhung, the second Kim Hyunjoong



Will basketball player Heo Woong become the next Kim Hyun-joong.

Heo Woong and his ex-girlfriend A continue to reveal themselves. Heo Woong and A began dating in December 2018, but finally broke up in December 2021 due to differences in personality and opposition from parents of both families. However, after the breakup, Heo Woong and A became worse than others.

Heo Woong sued A on charges of attempted blackmail, intimidation, violation of the law on the punishment of stalking crimes, and violation of the law on drug management. In response, A responded with indignation that he had undergone two abortions due to Heo Woong's coercion when he was in a relationship, and even stalked threats, such as Heo Woong forcibly demanding sexual intercourse and crying every day to hint at suicide.



In the process, the phone records of Heo Woong and A and the contents of the pregnancy-related conversation were released, adding to the controversy. There were even theories that were not related to the incident, such as that A was from a business, and public fatigue increased.

This is a very similar trend to the case of Kim Hyun-joong and his ex-girlfriend B in 2015, drawing more attention.



B filed a lawsuit for damages worth 1.6 billion won in 2014, claiming that he was pregnant with Kim Hyun-joong's child but suffered an assault and miscarriage. Kim Hyun-joong strongly denied B's claims, but in the process, Kim Hyun-joong suffered irreversible image damage as the provocative and sensational messages exchanged between him and B were released.

Eventually, the two sides began a long court battle. Kim Hyun-joong sued B on charges of blackmail, fraud, innocence, and defamation, but the prosecution cleared him of all charges. B also sued Kim Hyun-joong on charges of innocent, defamation, and violating the law (blackmail, fraud) for certain economic crimes, but the military prosecution ruled him not guilty.



However, Kim Hyun-joong laughed in the civil suit. When B filed a lawsuit for damages worth 1.6 billion won against Kim Hyun-joong, Kim Hyun-joong filed a lawsuit claiming to return 600 million won and pay 1.2 billion won in damages to B. In response, the court ruled that B should pay 100 million won to Kim Hyun-joong, who suffered mental damage from defamation.

The legal battle between the two ended like this, but both sides suffered irreversible damage due to serious exposure to their privacy.

However, the dispute between Heo Woong and A is also feared to cause secondary damage as unnecessary privacy has been opened to the public.

Anyway, Heo Woong and A got into a fight again in court. The second round became inevitable as A appointed a lawyer representing Roh Jong-eon, who exists at a law firm, to respond to Heo Woong's complaint against A. Fans are also concerned about the fight, which will eventually only leave scars on both sides, even if right or wrong is determined.
