An inside at his agency Keyeast Entertainment told OSEN on the 30th that "From the start, Miss Choi has claim the text messages were evidence. If so, she could submit them to the courts. The summation of evidence is done in court and not via a press release. We do not understand why they are being made public. Everything should be conducted according to the law". Thus, they are claiming that there are issues with releasing the text messages while the trial is still underway.

The insider also said, "If you feel being sued for the crime of extortion is unwarranted, you should counter sue. It is questionable that she is silent during the trial where she is required to talk and that she is trying to manipulate public opinion about things that should be handled by the courts".

They made clear that they will be aggressively fighting this by saying, "We are counter suing as the claims made by Miss choi is being shown to be a fraud in court. When the verdict is given and all of this is shown to be false, we (including Kim Hyun-joong) are considering legal actions such as suing for damages".

Prior to this, the lawyer Lee Jae-man representing Kim Hyun-joong said that this actually hurting her own case and claims there are issues with Miss Choi' behavior saying, "Submitting evidence to the public and not to the courts is ridiculous". He also said, "The ex-girlfriend is claiming that the text message exchanged between the two is evidence. However, she has to still prove legally that she was actually pregnant last year and had a miscarriage because of an assault. The text messages just prove that she lied to Kim Hyun-joong. According to the medical diagnoses made by 6 different hospitals, she wasn't even pregnant. So, she had lied to him about being pregnant and having a miscarriage".

Early in the day, Son and Partners, Miss Choi's legal representation, announced that Kim Hyun-joong's ex-girlfriend will be releasing a press announcement and evidence. Reading through the press release, she is claiming that she had Kim Hyun-joong' child last year and lost it because he assaulted her.

Kim Hyun-joong has been involved in a legal brawl over the truth regarding his alleged assault on his then pregnant girlfriend, Miss Choi, of 2 years who he had been dating since 2012. Last year, Miss Choi sued him claiming that the assault led to her miscarriage but later withdrew the suit because she didn't want him to be legally punished.

Following this withdraw, the courts fined Kim Hyun-joong around $5000 for assault and battery on the 19th of January. It seemed that the case was wrapped up. However, this past April, Miss Choi filed for damages amounting to $1.5 million claiming emotional distress. Currently, Kim Hyun-joong is counter suing Miss Choi for a total of $1,200,000 which includes returning the $600,000 given to her as a settlement regarding the fake pregnancy and another $600,000 for making this public even though there was a secrecy clause in the settlement.
