Information on Dongsung Kim registered in Bad Fathers
Kim Dong-sung, a former short track gold medalist, joined’We Got Divorced’ with his girlfriend and it is a hot topic.
Kim Dong-sung appeared on the TV Chosun entertainment program’We Got Divorced’ aired on the afternoon of the afternoon of the 1st and said, “I have someone I meet. I am a friend who raises my spirit. I like my mother too. When the case is resolved, I will marry again.” My friend Renminjeong was revealed.
On this day, Kim Dong-sung directly mentioned the controversy about’Bad Fathers’ in a pre-interview with the production team held in October last year.
‘Bad Fathers’, where Kim Dong-sung’s name and photo are registered, is a site that discloses the personal information of former spouses who do not pay child support after divorce.
Kim Dong-sung said, “After Corona 19, the link was closed and I couldn’t work at all,” he said. “I received 3 million won in salary and kept sending 2 million won for child support… I’m sorry to the children.”
Kim Dong-sung said that the broadcast appearance was also due to child support. Kim Dong-sung said, “I can cover my child support expenses with the admission fee.”
People Min-jung said, “I divorced in 2014,” and said, “It’s been a long time since I got divorced, so it doesn’t matter if I appear on the air.”
Bad Fathers was charged with defamation, but was acquitted in January of last year.
At the time, the court was in a public participation trial of Bad Fathers operator Gu Mo (57), who was accused of violating the Act on Promotion of Use of Information and Communication Network Act and Violation of Information Protection, etc. “It’s big,” he said.
Five people whose personal information was disclosed to Bad Fathers sued Mr. Koo between September 2018 and October of that year, claiming that their reputation had been damaged.
In the first place, the prosecution briefly prosecuted Mr. Koo for a fine of 3 million won, but the court referred him to a formal trial ex officio, saying,’It is necessary to examine the situation.’
Koo’s side has been accused of fifteen times, but has been subject to prosecution, such summary prosecution of no charge, and minimal punishment. It was an opinion that it was against the public interest, and the fact that parents who did not pay child support were more inflicted than some personal interest.
In the question of whether to prioritize personal defamation or to value children’s right to live, the judiciary saw that the right to live children becomes more important.
At the trial, the prosecution claimed that Mr. Gu and others were’a person who damaged the reputation of others by publicly revealing the facts through the information and communication network for the purpose of slandering people’ (Article 70, Paragraph 1 of the Information and Communication Network Act). The lawyers acknowledged the facts themselves, such as the fact that Mr. Koo operated the Bad Fathers, but saw that there is room for legal dispute over whether or not a crime is established. “There was no purpose to slander, and the public interest purpose of personal information disclosure was greater.”
As of the 2nd, on the’Bad Fathers’ site, the names, occupations, addresses, school of origin, employment, and face photos of about 197 parents who did not pay child support are disclosed in detail.
In addition to the controversy about’Bad Farmers’, Kim Dong-sung, who divorced in 2018, was rumored to reveal that in 2017, Choi Seo-won (formerly Choi Soon-sil)’s nephew Jang Si-ho had a relationship with him at a trial involving him in the 2017 Gukjeong Nongdan case. In addition, in 2019, he was mentioned as a young man of a middle school teacher who was accused of attempting to kill his mother.
