[theqoo] SUMMARY OF THE 300 MILLION WON CASE INVOLVING SON HEUNGMIN AND THE PREGNANCY

1. Son Heungmin and the woman who was sued were indeed in a relationship.

2. At some point, the woman informed him that she was pregnant and sent him an ultrasound photo.

3. In exchange for having an ab**tion and not disclosing the pregnancy publicly, she received 300 million KRW. There was also a written agreement stating that if she revealed the pregnancy, she would have to pay 3 billion KRW in damages. Son Heungmin later claimed that the woman had demanded the money, that the child wasn't his, that the ultrasound was fake, and that he believed it was a false pregnancy. Despite this, he said he paid the amount to avoid harming his football club's reputation. However, police confirmed that the woman was, in fact, pregnant at the time.

4. The two eventually broke up, and the woman began dating a new boyfriend. One day, the boyfriend went through her phone and discovered a photo of the written agreement. When he confronted her, she said it was related to a past ab**tion. He later found out the truth, contacted Son Heungmin, and even tipped off a TV investigative program. The new boyfriend claimed that Son had pressured her into having an abortion and that he had KakaoTalk chat logs as evidence, but he later disappeared.

5. The woman and her new boyfriend broke up over the matter.

6. Feeling blackmailed, Son Heungmin publicly stated that he had been targeted by professional con artists. He filed a police report, leading to a search of the woman’s residence. Through the investigation, police confirmed that she had actually been pregnant. A warrant for her arrest was issued, and photos of her arriving at court were released today.
