Legal representatives for Kim Hyun Joong expressed their concern about the possibility that his former girlfriend could be a flight risk, following recent reports that she is allegedly unable to confirm her pregnancy.
A report published by the Korean outlet Hanginu News, explored concerns regarding the woman known as A or Choi. "Ms. Choi, his ex-girlfriend, might try to escape abroad," said legal representatives for actor and singer, Kim Hyun Joong.
The article went on to address the on-going case, whose upcoming hearing has been scheduled for September 23.
While his ex-girlfriend continues to allegedly state that she has evidence of her current and previous pregnancy, legal representatives for Kim have eluded to conflicting evidence. "Ms. Choi's side stated their is a witness who can prove she is pregnant," said a representative for the SS501 member. "But our side is ready with a witness who can confirm the fact that there is not enough data supporting [Ms. Choi's] pregnancy."
The member of Kim's legal team continued to discuss the possibility that his ex-girlfriend could attempt to escape Korea, as she approaches the conclusion of her alleged pregnancy. "The end of the second trimester of her pregnancy is approaching and there are several parties involved on Choi's side," said the representative. "There is speculation that she is likely to escape overseas."
Kim Hyun Joong has faced on-going legal woes since August 2014. In June 2015, his ex-girlfriend failed to provide evidence that she was pregnant. This potentially negated reports that date back to February 2015, where she announced that was carrying the Hallyu star's child.
His legal representatives recently stated that the star was considering a counter-suit against his former lover, as she has failed to produce evidence of her pregnancy and injuries that were allegedly sustained by assault from the singer-turned-actor.
Meanwhile, Kim continues to adhere to his period of mandatory military service, with his members from his legal team addressing the media.
