Actor Kim Yong-geon (75, photo) was sued for attempted abortion by a woman 39 years younger than him.
According to the Seocho Police Station in Seoul on the 2nd, Mr. A (36) submitted a complaint to the police on the 23rd of last month saying, “I was forced to have an abortion by Mr. Kim.” A police official said, “Currently, the investigation of the accused has been completed. The schedule for the attendance investigation for Mr. Kim has not been decided yet.”
It is known that Mr. Kim and Mr. A have been dating since 2008. It is said that Ms. A delivered the news of her pregnancy to Ms. Kim in April of this year, and conflict arose as she opposed the birth. According to Mr. A, Mr. Kim continued to ask for an abortion after hearing the news of her pregnancy, but Mr. A refused.
In a statement on the same day, Kim’s side said, “I changed my original position and told the other person that I would support and take responsibility for childbirth and childrearing several times from May until recently, but I did not receive any contact. I think the heartache was bigger than I thought. “I didn’t expect to be sued at all,” he said. Kim, who debuted as a KBS publicly recruited talent in 1967, married in 1977 and divorced in 1996. They have two sons: actor Ha Jung-woo (real name Kim Seong-hoon) and actor Cha Hyun-woo (Kim Young-hoon). Reporter Eung-hyeong Cho yesbro@donga.com
