Text Messages Between Kim Hyun Joong And Pregnant Ex-Girlfriend Released By Korean Media Outlet Dispatch

Kim Hyun Joong

More information has come to light regarding Korean star Kim Hyun Joong's relationship with his ex-girlfriend.

Text messages between Kim, his father, and his pregnant ex-girlfriend, known to the media only by her surname Choi, were released to Korean media on February 25. Kim and Choi have made entertainment headlines after a 2014 domestic violence case, and then again in 2015 with reports of pregnancy and a planned marriage. Both sides have denied the marriage plans, but confirmed Choi's pregnancy.

Korean outlet Dispatch publicized message exchanges that reveal the couple's relationship since learning about the pregnancy, expressing Choi's side of the story.  Kim previously claimed that Choi didn't arrive at a planned meeting a hospital to confirm paternity of the unborn child, but the messages show that Choi expressed concern about a specific doctor that Kim's father wanted her to see.

After reports of the couple's reunion, pregnancy and, erroniously, marriage, Kim's entertainment agency, KeyEast, issued a number of statements to clarify the situation. KeyEast confirmed the pregnancy, and expressed Kim's willingness to take responsibility, but denied the marriage rumors. Choi's legal representatives also confirmed the pregnancy and denied the marriage.

The messages also show some of the couple's conversations since a public domestic violence case in 2014. Kim was indicted by the Seoul Prosecutor's Office in January on assault charges against Choi. Choi dropped the charges prior to the indictment, after Kim apologized to her.

The whole set of texts as released by Dispatch, translated by Netizen Buzz, reads as follows:

"Kim Hyun Joong: Did you get the test done?
A [Choi]: (ultrasound picture)
KHJ: So that's the dot, the black color.
A: Yeah... I can hear its heartbeat on my next checkup.
KHJ: I see... make sure you eat well and wear warm clothes. Don't drink either. The hospital said you're 5 weeks?
A: Yeah. Nearly 5 weeks. It's still hard for me to process this. I'm sure it's the same for you.
KHJ: Yeah.. I'm really upset. I can't bless you but [I] suffer on the inside like this..

KHJ: Are you out of makeup yet? When we get on the plane, I only notice things like that. Your make up's about to run out.
A: I have it all. Since when did you care.
KHJ: Don't be like that. I thought you would've run out of the set you were using before.
A: This is not the time for you to be worrying about my makeup.
KHJ: It's nothing on my part. You miss me, right?
A: No.
KHJ: Really? Not even 1%? I still miss you. Maybe I'm crazy. Is this really over? I'm not ready yet. I want to see you again after I've thought of what I want to say. And if this really is the end, I want to do everything I couldn't for you before.
A: Nothing you can do about it. This is reality.
KHJ: I really hope you're happy. There will come a day where we can't keep in contact anymore. But until that day... stay in contact with me.

KHJ: Happy 31st birthday. I hope for today you're happy and receive congratulations. As always, I'm sorry.
A: Yay, flowers~
KHJ: You like them? Does it feel like your birthday?
A: I like them. They're pretty. But you're not with me.
KHJ: It's because I'm not with you that I sent you flowers. You feel happy, right? I didn't write my name in case they were delivered to your parents. Just say a friend gave them to you.

KHJ: I don't think this will end well so I'll do what I can on my end. You live how you want.
A: Alright. Let's cut interest in each other and live our separate lives.
KHJ: Yeah. Live our separate lives. This is it. What's up with the dogs in this neighborhood anyway? I'm pissed but I have no one to share this picture with so I sent it to you. Isn't it funny?
A: It is funny. Have you eaten yet?
KHJ: I had mixed noodles. Did you eat?
A: I had fruits. How's the weather?
KHJ: Rain's stopped and the sun's out now. Make sure you eat.

A: I'm upset..
KHJ: Me too. It's something to be happy about but I'm upset first. Sorry.
A: I understand. Even though I wish it wasn't like this.
KHJ: It's so complicated. The baby will be two years old when I'm back from the army. What do we do then? I feel like all of this is tying me down.

KHJ: Let's tell your parents later. I've thought it over a lot but it's still hard to handle. Give me more time to think. Be understanding for me.
A: Your mind keeps changing and it makes it difficult for me.
KHJ: I never changed my mind. The army is not something I can opt out of.. and  I can't see the child grow either. Marriage is not a one person thing. You have to consider it seriously.
A: You won't be able to see the baby grow anyway. You're the one considering whether to throw the baby away or not, what can I say to that?
KHJ: When did I say I'd throw it away? I'll raise it. But don't you think we have to talk about whether we get married or not? I don't understand having to get married just because the baby is being born. Living like that might make things worse.

KHJ: Okay, I'll marry you so can you file a petition with the court. Your husband's about to get a red line on his records.
A: What're you talking about?
KHJ: They said if the case is kept like this and I get a penalty fee, it'll go red on my records. The company said I'll be recognized as a criminal if my crime is admitted.
A: So you're not getting married with me for our child or me but because you don't want to become a criminal?
KHJ: No, I'm saying I'll work and live hard for the sake of our child but I don't want to be caught up in all of this anymore. Let's forget everything and start fresh. I'll be good to you. We'll get married and I'll make you happy.
A: Of course you have to be good. But why are you being like this all of a sudden?
KHJ: To be good. I want to be good for my baby and you. Raise our baby nicely while I'm in the army. [Text provided in another article] I'll kill you if you cheat on me while I'm gone.

KHJ's Father: A [Choi]-ya, as long as you take things step by step, there's nothing that can go wrong. Don't worry about anything and bring your parents. Just confirm that you are pregnant with us and let's take it from there.
A: I already confirmed everything on February 14 with my diagnosis, confirmation, and ultrasound picture. I'll show you anywhere close or wherever is convenient for you.
Father: I don't believe the ultrasound picture at all because you haven't done anything that has made us trust you. You keep changing your words, is there a reason for that?
A: I never wanted that doctor. And I'm the one who's scared that something's going to happen to my baby. You asked to see the documents so I met with them and showed them all of my records. However, you're still suspicious and you keep wanting me to get tested with the doctor you want. I think it'd be better that we go to a different hospital.

KHJ: How's the baby? I'm curious.. Let's talk, just the two of us, when I get to Korea. I want to see my baby now.
A: (ultrasound video)
KHJ: Aigoo, so big now. It moves, too... Is it from the same hospital? Show me something more recent.
A: (ultrasound picture) The video of it kicking is the most recent one.
KHJ: Yeah, I see it ㅠ Let me see it again. Let's have a frank talk.
A: Its hands and feet move too.. the video isn't sending right because it's a text.
