A comprehensive recap of the BJ Namsoon and BJ Heekong controversy. From the revelation of the abortion to the explanation, the KakaoTalk message disclosure, and the court ruling, we've compiled the entire timeline. While the facts were correct, we also examine why they were found guilty of defamation, insult, and stalking.

1. The controversy begins

In July 2023, Hee-kong revealed on her social media that she had been dating Nam-soon and that she had become pregnant with his child but had an abortion.

 

At that time, Hee-kong “After the surgery, Namsoon did not come to the hospital and pretended not to know and ignored me.” While making the claim, they even released a capture of the conversation between the two.

 

Here, many people were shocked and public opinion quickly began to divide.

2. The disclosed KakaoTalk messages and Hee-kong's claims

The content of the message that HeeKong revealed was quite specific.

When asked for 1.3 million won in surgery costs, Namsoon requested a copy of his bankbook and resident registration card.

 

 

“Why did you have an abortion on me?”

“Why did you ignore all my calls?”

“Everyone around you says you slept with them.”

“Please don’t let it go to waste that I met you.”

 

The controversy grew further as the emotional sentences were exposed as they were.

Hee-kong is "I wasn't asking for money. I wanted a sincere apology." He explained it well.

3. Namsun's reaction

At the time, BJ Namsoon immediately announced that he would file a lawsuit.

 

Even on TV "If anything turns out to be true, I will disclose it all." He announced a strong response.
They also stated that they would not show leniency towards malicious comments or false information.

4. Facts confirmed by the court

Although the controversy has persisted for years, most of the key facts have been confirmed to be true during recent trials.

 

 

Court decision

Hee-kong had an abortion on December 28, 2022.

It was also admitted that he had sexual relations with Namsun in November 2022.

In other words, it was stated that Hee-kong's 'fact-exposure' itself was not false.

5. But why is he guilty?

This is something that many people get confused about.
This ruling is not defamation by stating false facts, but defamation by stating facts.

 

Hee-kong's guilty plea

Defamation by factual statement

Insult (posting profanity)

Stalking (texting and calling more than 80 times despite the person's refusal)

 

The court
"Even if it's true, if it's revealed publicly with the intent to defame someone, it's punishable." I judged it to be so.

In the end, Hee-kong was sentenced to a fine of 3 million won.

Q2. It's true, so why was he punished?
