The Seoul Central Police Station sent Choi Jeong-won to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on charges of violating the Stalking Punishment Act on the 12th.
When his girlfriend A notified him of the breakup in August, Choi Jung-won is accused of threatening acts, such as sending a text message saying, `One of the two must die to end' and visiting A's home with a weapon. The police applied for emergency measures to protect Mr. A's safety, and the court accepted it. Emergency measures are measures that prevent perpetrators from accessing victims within 100 meters or prohibit contact through telecommunications such as mobile phones.
Choi Jung-won said "It was a kind of happening caused by a personal conflict between me and Mr. A, which escalated a minor dispute. I am very sorry that there was a misunderstanding between each other in the process of intensifying the sentiment, and that the situation was misrepresented and delivered differently from the facts. The allegations that I threatened or stalked with a weapon are completely untrue, and both I and my girlfriend clearly deny the allegations", he said he would respond strongly to false information.
However, Mr. A moved in as if he was running away in the middle of the night after only 6 hours of on-site inspection and victim investigation. I hesitated for a long time because I didn't know if this was right until I reported it. Even if you hang from the veranda and point a knife at me, you become a bear. Did you want to keep your image that way. Is it okay to act ugly to me and don't want to be legally or socially responsible. In the end, he criticized, "Isn't it that you want to be seen only by the public?"
Apart from this, Choi Jeong-won was freed from the false accusation of an affair man. B filed a lawsuit for damages, saying that Choi Jung-won had been in an inappropriate relationship with his wife C since December 2022. The first trial ruled that the marriage between C and B broke down due to the cheating of C and Choi Jeong-won, but the appeals court considered that the marriage broke down due to B's coercive attitude toward C. The Seoul High Court also ruled that Choi Jong-won's relationship with C did not constitute cheating.
