Kim Hyun Joong Scandal [Opinion]

I've been studying about society, humanity and all sorts of things these past semester in college. And then, I've stumbled upon Kim Hyun Joong's scandal with Ms. Choi a few times. Now I'm rewatching Playful Kiss and I've deeply thought about the issue at hand. Although allkpop and Koreaboo have different opinions about it as well as the fans, I can't help but have a tingling sensation over the issue. 

After discussing about a very good lesson about humanity a while ago, I had this certain feeling to make a blog about my opinions. 

Please do mind these are opinions and I'm slightly misinformed about the whole issue because 1) I can't speak or understand Korean fully and 2) I can't rely much on allkpop and Koreaboo on this.

And 3) I hope whoever reads this will comment her or his take in the issue too and let me know of some facts that are distorted by my mind or by my consciousness. 

So, I divided the issue to Kim Hyunjoong's side and Ms. Choi's side. Maybe I'll answer things questioned by the fans according to what I perceive as the reason. 

[Kim Hyunjoong]

● Why does he want custody of the child?

I asked my brother why he wants the custody of his child after having issues with his gilfriend (they are unmarried, like Ms. Choi and Kim Hyunjoong and had a fight before and after the birth of my nephew). He cried and told me that, well, as a father he wants his child to perceive him as good all through the end. As a father, I think Kim Hyunjoong wants to let his child know that he wasn't a very bastardic dad. If Ms. Choi gets the custody of the child, she MIGHT make up things for the sake of having the child a feel of remorse towards his or her father. And there's nothing so very hurting in the world but having your child hate you. Let the world hate you all they want but not your child. 

● I think there's one flaw in Kim Hyunjoong's side. More than the domestic abuse or the fight for the custody of the child, the court always moves to the sympathy of the woman in regards with domestic abuse. (There are cases of men having no chance in domesrix abuse vs. women because men are perceived as strong compared to women)

[Ms. Choi]

● I have a lot to say to Ms. Choi because she's rather ofd all throughout the scandal. As a woman, I've felt there ore rather obscurities with her actions but I have no say since I haven't seen firsthand donestic abuse.

♡Fifty Shades Darker Ms. Choi♡

● Okay, I wanted to name this that because of thing: Ms. Choi felt dark. Throughout the scandal, I always have this vision of something dark towards Ms. Choi. Firsty, she demanded money twice. Most women who are subject to domestix abuse demand justice through the mode of imprisonment. However, in Ms. Choi's case, she chose to be paid by Kim Hyunjoong. She got her way in the end anyway, but I think it's rather odd of a step. 

●She demands more money. 

● She waited after the relationship ended to report the abuse. Why do people stay at a toxic relationship? Well, because you benefit a lot of money in the end--just joking. I guess, her mother was blind to her bruises? Her co-workers? It's rather odd that she never talked about it to her friends. And in the pictures, the bruises looked fresh. But I wouldn't, again, say anything. 

● She keeps on filing cases. Well, why not right? But it's getting out of hand she is looking more and more desperate of a move. I wouldn't definitely know but, again, Ms. Choi's decisions creep me out. 

 

I don't know if these are right. But then again, nothing is right.

I honestly don't know which side to take. But if there's someone who deserves pity, it's the unborn child. Unpopular opinion: a want a non-celebrity to adopt the baby once born.

Oh, I find the case rather interesting as well. I am not truly well-informed because things went one way, then the other and I, like you, don't speak Korean. But I do find it strange that she keeps filing new cases against him. Because how I see it, wouldn't a woman who's been in an abusive relationship just want out? She's free of him now (I know how hard it can be to actually let go of an abusive relationship, it's not at all that easy) but it seems like she keeps coming back for a new claim, back for a new case that needs to be filed. I don't know, I just find it so odd. Why not just settle on "I'm out" and leave him and the lime light and just ... disappear? Why keep coming back? I really find her actions strange.
But I'm not sure, I don't have personal experience with domestic abuse. Still ... it bothers me.
He, on the other hand, just seems to want it to die down. He doesn't want his child to hate him, but he also doesn't want to keep going anymore. I don't know, that's how I see it but I might be misinformed.
