Kim Dong-sung returns to the ice skating world, which left due to controversy over non-payment of child support



'God of Ice' Kim Dong-sung returns.

Kim Dong-sung's wife, People's Jung-eun, released a photo of Kim Dong-sung's short track leader license on the 21st, saying, `Good job.'

People's Government supports Kim Dong-sung, who attended the lecture for the first time in approximately eight years. Run for the development of short-track speed skating,' he said, announcing the current situation of Kim Dong-sung, who participated in the leadership class.




Starting with winning a gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics, Kim has swept various world championships. He retired from his active career in 2005, but demonstrated his competence through various activities, including commentary and coaching.

However, Kim Dong-sung left the ice skating world due to a conflict with his ex-wife, A, who divorced in 2018.

Mr. A provided Kim Dong-sung's information to the operator of Badfathers, an Internet site that discloses the identity of non-payers of child support, saying that Kim Dong-sung enjoys a luxurious life without paying child support for his two children from 2022. In the aftermath, A was sent to the prosecution in June on charges of defamation under the Information and Communication Network Act.




Kim Dong-sung married the People's Government in May 2021, and all of A's claims are false. People's Government is working at a construction site now through its account in August, but it is about 2 million won per month for personal recall payments such as seizure of bank accounts and bankruptcy. The disclosure of bad fathers and interviews mixed with falsehoods cut off income and earned less than the minimum cost of living, and the debt continued to increase, reaching nearly 600 million won. It is absolutely not a deliberate evader. The desire to make money somehow and solve child support remains unchanged. I will let the children go even when they become adults."
