Parents Of SS501's Kim Hyun Joong Question Validity Of Ex-Girlfriend's Paternity Test Results, Call For Additional Evidence

On Friday, the parents of the 28-year-old SS501 frontman Kim Hyun Joong added their voices to an increasingly contentious legal battle between the star and his ex-girlfriend, referred to in local media reports as simply "Ms. Choi."   

Choi is reportedly claiming the rapper, who also starred in the Korean drama "Boys Over Flowers," is the father of her unborn child.

"We just want to receive confirmation regarding the baby," Kim Hyun Joong's mother Joong Yeon Mi said in an interview with the South Korean news publication The Fact.

On Wednesday, in an interview with Korean the newspaper Dispatch, Choi also alleged that she reported the star to law enforcement back in August, for four incident of assault, allegations the rapper denies ever happened.

Choi also produced what she alleges are romantic text messages from Joong she received after reporting Kim Hyun Joong to local authorities back in August for what she claimed were four incidents of assault.

"Do you miss me a little it?" read one such alleged text from the "Boys Over Flowers" actor. "I miss you and I think I'm crazy. I didn't prepare myself for this."

On Wednesday, Choi also told the Korean news agency Osen that she had provided Joong with verification that he was the father of her unborn child, including an ultrasound.

But according to the SS501 frontman's mother, Choi's so-called proof, at least in the format she sent it in, was inconclusive.

"Of course I believe that Miss Choi is pregnant," Joong Yeon Mi said.

"I'm also not doubting the claim that the child is our son's. But, it's hard to think to myself 'ah, this is our grandchild' just by looking at a few ultrasound pictures with no names or anything on them received through a mobile messenger app. What parent out there would be able to easily accept it when someone just says 'this is your baby' with ultrasound pictures with no name or info attached to them."

Both of Joong's parents believe that there is only one way to resolve the issue for good.

"All we've been asking for, from the beginning, is for us to be able to confirm [the paternity of the child] by going to the hospital together," Joong Yeon Mi said.

However, Choi's lawyer believes his client has already provided Joong with undeniable evidence that he is the father.

"We've already sent over an ultrasound photo and proof of pregnancy to Kim Hyun Joong, so we don't understand why she has to receive another medical examination," the attorney told Osen on Tuesday.

"There's no need. If he doesn't believe it after seeing the evidence, it means he doesn't want to believe she is pregnant."
