Former professional baseball player Lim Hye-dong is accused of extorting more than 300 million won from Ryu Hyun-jin after threatening to extort Kim Ha-seong of the San Diego Padres.
On the 18th, Gangnam Police Station in Seoul applied for an arrest warrant for Lim Hye-dong on charges of blackmail.
The beginning was a truth battle between Kim Ha-seong and Lim Hye-dong. MHN Sports first reported on December 6 last year that Kim Ha-seong received blackmail threats from Lim Hye-dong and submitted a complaint to the police. 토토사이트
Ha-seong Kim and Hye-dong Lim reportedly got into a fight while drinking at a bar in Gangnam-gu, Seoul in 2021. According to Ha-seong Kim’s claim,
the settlement money was later delivered to Hye-dong Lim. However, when Lim Hye-dong continued to demand money and valuables even after receiving a settlement amounting to 400 million won,
this was judged to be a blackmail threat. To prevent further damage, he sued Lim Hye-dong.
Summit Management, Kim Ha-seong’s agent, said through our newspaper at the time, “Ha-seong Kim reached an agreement right before he left for the United States.
However, even after that, we continued to contact Mr. A.” He added, “At the time, it was not a one-sided assault by Ha-seong Kim, but rather a scuffle.
However, just before entering the US, I delivered the settlement money because I did not want to make a big deal out of it. It was absolutely not a one-sided assault,” he explained.
He continued, “Mr. A continued to threaten that he should receive compensation under the pretext of ‘defamation’,” and “The threats continued even immediately after winning the Gold Glove.
Additionally, Mr. A mentioned content that was completely unrelated to the facts. Accordingly, the agency said, “I decided to file a complaint,” he added.
He also emphasized, “Starting with the evidence, there is a lot of content that can prove that Kim Ha-seong did not commit a one-sided assault,” and “Kim Ha-seong is a clear victim.”
Lim Hye-dong appeared on a YouTube channel the next day and revealed that she had been “habitually assaulted by Kim Ha-seong in addition to her drinking parties.”
According to the content, Lim Hye-dong said, “What Ha-seong Kim did best was to beat me mercilessly and kneel down on me.
I was beaten severely three times, and including light assaults, throwing alcohol bottles at drinking parties, and hitting me in the back of the head while driving were routine.” claimed.
Lim Hye-dong also released photos of herself showing the assault through her multiple media outlets.
However, their claims were mixed, with Kim Ha-seong saying, “It is a scar of domestic violence suffered by Lim Hye-dong,” and Lim Hye-dong saying, “It is evidence of Kim Ha-seong’s assault.”
Afterwards, Kim Ha-seong’s side also immediately announced its position. “At the time of 2021, the opposing player took advantage of the fact that Ha-seong Kim was in the military to threaten Ha-seong Kim and demanded money as a settlement amount,” he said. “
The money was paid on the condition that the person not engage in any acts, etc.,” he said.
“Nevertheless, the opposing player repeated actions that violated the agreement, such as contacting Ha-seong Kim again.
Accordingly, Ha-seong Kim filed a criminal complaint to prevent further damage, and separately filed a penalty for breach of contract, etc.
We proceeded with a civil suit and provisional seizure,” he added.
Ha-seong Kim’s side also said, “Ha-seong Kim gave a detailed statement during the investigation of the complainant about the damages suffered so far, and it is believed that the facts will be revealed through the judgment of the investigative agency and the court.”
However, Ha-seong Kim unilaterally and “I would like to tell you once again that the story about him habitually assaulting his opponent is completely untrue,” he said.
He continued, “If his claims are true, the opposing player will have to file a formal complaint.
In this case, Kim Ha-seong will faithfully participate in the investigation and prove his innocence.
At the same time, he will hold the other player responsible for making false accusations for false accusations.” “We plan to thoroughly ask,” he said.
The police summoned and interrogated Lim Hye-dong for two days on the 21st and 22nd of last month, and conducted forensic analysis of Lim Hye-dong’s cell phone and analyzed text messages and call records.
As the year passed, Kim Ha-seong was also investigated as a second accuser. At the time, Gangnam Police Station in Seoul said, “
We investigated Kim Ha-seong as a complainant that afternoon,” and added, “It has been about a month since the first complainant investigation on the 6th of last month.”
He added, “We initially tried to conduct a supplementary investigation over the phone with Ha-seong Kim,
but Ha-seong Kim expressed his intention to appear in person and be investigated ahead of his departure.”
As a result of investigating Kim Ha-seong’s accuser and conducting forensics on Lim Hye-dong’s cell phone, the police obtained data that Lim Hye-dong repeatedly threatened Kim Ha-seong. The police said, “
As a result of analyzing more than 10,000 files through forensics, we secured several pieces of evidence showing that Lim Hye-dong repeatedly threatened Kim Ha-seong.”
However, even after looking at the evidence presented by the police, Lim Hye-dong insisted that she “never made any threats.”
As time passed, a new controversy surfaced. Circumstances were revealed that Lim Hye-dong also stole hundreds of millions of won from Ryu Hyun-jin. According to an MBN report on the 18th,
the Seoul Police Station booked Lim Hye-dong on charges of blackmail and applied for an arrest warrant on the afternoon of the same day.
According to reports, when Lim Hye-dong was working as Ryu Hyun-jin’s road manager in 2021, she reportedly demanded cash from her under the pretext of a personal conflict.
The police determined that Ryu Hyun-jin sent 380 million won to Lim Hye-dong last year after receiving threats.
However, it is known that Lim Hye-dong is also strongly denying the charge that she threatened Ryu Hyun-jin.
