Kim Hyun-joong's legal attorney Lee Jae-man claimed, "We are sure there was no miscarriage, let alone pregnancy. We are prepared to take action in all ways possible. We will sue her for blackmail and compensation for damage. The civil case will be proceeded with within this month but the criminal case later as she is 'pregant'".

Choi failed to provide proof of pregnancy or miscarriage during the preparations for the damage suit. She only came up with a medical certificate stating amenorrhoea. Lee Jae-man said, "If she'd written that she had been to the doctors for pregnancy or miscarriage, why wouldn't she present evidence to the court? Legally, amenorrhoea doesn't prove pregnancy or miscarriage. Amenorrhoea is not something the doctors find and diagnose you with".

The two people's legal battle started with the 1,600 billion won (US$1.6 million) trial in which Choi sued Kim Hyun-joong for with conflict and mental offense. She formerly sued him for abuse in May last year and then again for miscarriage four days later. She threatened Kim for abusing her while she was pregnant and threatened to spread word that he'd caused her miscarriage. Kim Hyun-joong offered her 600 million won in fear of his reputation but she filed for the 1,600 billion won case later.

Meanwhile, Kim Hyun-joong has asked 5 different hospitals for proof of truth.
