While actor Kim Yong-geon (75) is being sued by a woman 39 years younger than woman A on charges of attempted abortion, etc., the past remarks of Kim Yong-gun and his son actor Ha Jung-woo (43) are being re-examined.

Kim Yong-gun and Ha Jung-woo appeared on MBC ‘I Live Alone’ in August 2015. At the time, Ha Jung-woo ate with Kim Yong-geon and said, “I think you will enjoy watching the movie ‘Best Offer’.

Kim Yong-geon asked, “Does it sound like your father’s story?” Ha Jung-woo said, “It’s not, but the age difference of close to 50 years is not so embarrassing. But it ends with that woman in her 20s cheating. She looked beautiful until there was a twist. hit,” he said.

Then, Kim Yong-geon said, “Is it true love? They must have seen material things or something. How betrayed you must have been.” And Ha Jung-woo said, “No.

The movie ‘Best Offer’, released in 2014, is the story of an old man in his 70s, an art appraiser, who meets a woman in his 20s, falls in love, and meets unexpected life changes. As Kim Yong-geon revealed that he met his girlfriend in 2008, it is possible that Ha Jung-woo knew that Kim Yong-geon had a girlfriend during the broadcast of ‘I Live Alone’ at the time.

On the other hand, Kim Yong-gun said in an official statement the day before, “In early April 2021, I heard from the other person that I was 4 weeks pregnant. It was not a situation where we promised or planned for the future, so I was more surprised and worried than happy.” “I said no, it’s unreasonable in reality. I begged, complained, and got angry. But the other party emphasized the importance of life, and on May 21, 2021, he cut off my contact, telling me to only talk to his lawyer.”

He continued, “It’s a bit late, but I will do my best to help the other person recover from their wounds, give birth to children, and raise them healthy.”
