A day after Kim Hyun Joong's agency Key East disputed the assault charges filed against him by a woman claiming to be his girlfriend, some texts have emerged to support her claims.
The Dispatch gathered some texts between the singer and actor and the woman who says she dated him.
The woman claimed that she dated the singer for the past two years but the day after the news broke, Key East said the couple had merely been friends for two years and only recently begun dating. However Dispatch photos show the two embracing in April 2012 and texts exchanged between them in 2013 indicate they were having a relationship.
The texts allegedly say such things as "I love you," "I miss you," "Don't break up with me" and "Let's live together."
Apparently the two had relationship problems early on because he texted her saying things such as "I will do better" and "Don't break up with me."
The woman, referred to as 'A," told the police that she was assaulted twice, once in May and again July. The second argument led to a fractured rib, which she supported with a doctor's note. Key East said that the two did have a physical fight in May but that she hurt her rib fooling around and that there was no second fight.
A text that she supposedly sent to him at the time noted that she had bruises all over her body.
"I have no reason to be beaten," she texted and according to the Dispatch article he admitted some guilt. If the texts are genuine, he said that he did not know why he hurt her.
"I am sorry that you were bruised and hurt," he reportedly texted. "I don't know why I did this to you."
If the texts are true, say netizens, the couple was not just fooling around as the Key East statement claimed.
"Why did Key East lie about something that can so easily be disproved," said another netizen?
But the agency may have based their statement on the information available to them at the time.
"No statement will rectify what he's accused of if it turns out to be at least partially true," said another netizen.
The claims are still under investigation, caution the police, and Kim Hyun Joong has yet to be summoned to give his side of the story.
The actor recently won praise for his performance as a streetfighter in the drama "Inspiring Generation" and his solo album "Breakthough." But if the charges are proven true, Kim Hyun Joong's career may grind to a halt.
