Kim Hye-seong's father Public opinion rapidly worsened when the claim of creditor Mr. Kim of Gocheok, who had borrowed over 100 million won and not repaid it, became known.

 

The problem is that Kim Hye-seong was caught on TV interrupting the interview by directly pointing out this creditor during the interview upon her return to Korea. The statement, “I will interview him when he goes,” sparked controversy.

It was relatively moderate at first. The picket "Tell my father to pay me back." It was a phrase of that level, and it is said that he also left a comment supporting Kim Hye-seong.

 

However, the situation completely changed when Kim Hye-sung filed two defamation lawsuits. The picketing became increasingly violent, and a video of them being stopped by police while hurling insults at the airport went viral.

As the controversy grew The sushi restaurant run by Kim Hye-seong's father was pointed out online, and the trigger was commentator Son Geon-yeong's mention of having eaten at the restaurant in the past.

Afterwards, commentator Lee Hyeon-woo "This store has no connection to Kim Hye-seong's father." I corrected it, but it was after the barrage of reviews had already begun.

4. 'Father's Day' and the Facts

In some communities There was a story going around that “Kim Hye-seong cut ties with her father,” but there is no actual basis for it.

 

Rather, in a past interview “I was happy that my father sent me a congratulatory message.” As mentioned, the rumor of a breakup does not appear to be true.

 

 

Also, Kim Hye-seong I never said, "I'll pay off my father's debt." Aside from two lawsuits, there was no real response.

Because of this “It is not a problem legally, but it is disappointing morally.” There was a lot of response.

5. Twitter and public opinion

On Twitter, two perspectives are at odds.

One side criticized, saying, “Even if it’s your father’s debt, you should take responsibility for it out of morality,” and the other side criticized, “Wouldn’t the World Series winning bonus be enough to pay it off?”

 

The other side The counterargument is that “creditors harassing families is illegal debt collection” and “children have no legal responsibility.”

The production team of SBS's "Curious Story Y" As we are publicly soliciting reports on 'Mr. Kim of Gocheok', there is a possibility that the incident will be reported on TV.
