Personal life[]
In August 2014, Kim's former girlfriend, surname Choi, filed an assault complaint against him, accusing him of multiple beatings.[6] Kim denied the accusations, only admitting to hurting her once by accident while practicing martial arts. Choi dropped some charges when he officially apologized.[7] The court ordered him to pay a five million won fine.[8] In May 2015, she filed a civil suit against Kim, citing mental damages[9] and accused him of causing her to miscarry.[10] He filed a countersuit for defamation.[11] Kim and Choi also had reconciled briefly in late 2014, resulting in her pregnancy.[8] He took a paternity test in December 2015, confirming that he was the father of the child whom was born in September.[12]
In August 2016, Choi's civil case was dismissed for lack of evidence and she was ordered to pay a one hundred million won fine.[11] The following month, Kim was acquitted of all charges filed by Choi.[13][14] In January 2017, Kim filed criminal charges against Choi for attempted fraud and defamation.[15] Kim was caught drunk driving in March 2017. He was asleep at a stop light when the police found him.[16] Kim was later indicted and fined two million won.[17] In February 2018, Choi was indicted and the courts ordered her to pay a five million won fine.[18] She filed an appeal, which was dismissed by the Supreme Court of South Korea in November 2020. The court upheld the judgment of the previous cases.[19]
Described as his "first love," Kim dated his non-celebrity wife when they were younger.
