A lawyer explained: “Kim Seon-ho might have to take civil responsibility. Even T-ara and Lee Soo-geun paid penalties…”
It is said that actor Kim Seon-ho, who is involved in a “private life” scandal, should take responsibility for the legal part of the controversy.
The broadcast of KBS 2TV’s “Entertainment company Live” aired on October 29th, highlighted the scandal of actor Kim Seon-ho, who is the center of attention after his private life issue was disclosed by his ex-girlfriend – A.
During the broadcast, a lawyer talked about the legal issue of this controversy. She explained whether Kim Seon-ho would be legally punished for forcing his girlfriend to get an abortion under the pretense of marriage while A, who exposed Kim Seon-ho’s private life, would not have to take any legal responsibility.
The lawyer said, “Abortion was already decided as not agaisnt the Constitution in 2019, and the crime of adultery under the guise of marriage has also been abolished. Even if all the disclosure is true, Kim Seon-ho will not be punished under criminal offenses.”
She continued, “However, he cannot get away from all legal matters. There is civil responsibility. In fact, since he had forced his ex to get an abortion and the child was already aborted but then didn’t marry her, he might have to pay a 3-million-won compensation for damages. If Kim Seon-ho is proved to have deceived his girlfriend and urged her to have an abortion, a claim for alimony or damages can be admitted in that part,” he added.
In addition, “It’s not illegal to expose the privacy of celebrities for public interest purposes. However, in this case, it could be understood as an emotional revenge that has not been retaliated, so I think the insulting purpose can be recognized to some extent. “If all of these are acknowledged, alimony or damage claims may be acknowledged against this woman,” she explained.
She also pointed out the issue of advertising penalties. The lawyer said, “In the past, there was a case where T-ara has to pay a doubled penalty for advertising deals due to their bullying scandal, and Lee Soo-geun also had to pay a doubled penalty for illegal gambling.” If Kim Seon-ho’s contracts had a condition to maintain dignity and he caused damage, he may have to pay a penalty for this part,” he said.
Meanwhile, Kim Seon-ho dropped out of his advertisements and variety show KBS2TV’s “One Night and Two Days,” as well as films such as “Dog Days” and “Two O’Clock Date (direct translation),” which were about to be released. Even today, 10 days after his ex-girlfriend’s disclosure , controversy continues, with A’s personal information being disclosed and various rumors spreading.
