◆ Announcer Park Gui-bin (hereinafter referred to as Park Gui-bin): Comedian Kim Byung-man is engaged in a truth fight with his ex-wife. It was belatedly known that his ex-wife, who had already divorced, had been repeatedly assaulted by Kim Byung-man. Kim Byung-man's side is groundless in assault, and his ex-wife has subscribed to dozens of death insurance policies that she does not know, and is demanding more than 3 billion won after divorce. I revealed it like this again. Let's sort out what the truth is. I'm calling Ahn Jin-yong of the Munhwa Ilbo. Hello, reporter.
◇Ahn Jin-yong, reporter for the Munhwa Ilbo (hereinafter referred to as Ahn Jin-yong): Hello, I'm Ahn Jin-yong.
◆Park Gui-bin: The truth battle between the two is very tight right now. First of all, can you briefly point out the process of their marriage and divorce?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: The first premise is that this is the lyrics case. In this case, it's actually not easy to tell the truth because it's happening at home. So, let me make it clear that this is the argument of both sides so far. First of all, the two became married when they registered their marriage in 2011. However, Kim Byung-man claims that he divorced in 2020 after 10 years of separation. In the divorce process, Kim Byung-man asked for a divorce because he had lived separately for a long time, but at first, this wife did not want to divorce. However, as a result, I went all the way to the Supreme Court and finally agreed on the divorce, and as a result, I am now a man.
◆Park Gui-bin: That's why Kim Byung-man asked for a divorce and his wife didn't divorce him, so he filed a lawsuit and the divorce was confirmed through a lawsuit.
◇Ahn Jin-yong: That's right. It's already been confirmed. The two are already men and women.
◆Park Gui-bin: Then when is that? The divorce is confirmed?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: This is 2020. So, it's already been four years since he got divorced, and he is still in a lot of shock that he is still fighting in court, but in the meantime, he was assaulted by Kim Byung-man again. This is also a criminal case, so it's separate from the housekeeping case. These arguments are mixed, and when the divorce is completed, the court has concluded that both property division and alimony should be done. However, Kim Byung-man is still complaining that he is not fully compensated for the division of the property.
◆Park Gui-bin: That's right. It's been a while since you got divorced, but your ex-wife recently revealed that she was assaulted by Kim Byung-man, and it's just now known. But if you look at the two's disclosure war, there's also a story about assault in it. There is also information about death insurance. There is also a story about the dismissal of his ex-wife's daughter, so I will organize it one by one. First of all, according to his ex-wife's claim, he was assaulted by Kim Byung-man and even filed an actual complaint. What's this about?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: It's exactly what you just said. Because he was assaulted by Kim Byung-man during his marriage, he complained of the damage and eventually submitted a complaint. However, Kim Byung-man has never done that, but one more thing to check is that there were claims of assault during the divorce process. However, I even checked the ruling, but the Supreme Court also has claims of assault, but the grounds are not clear. That's why the Supreme Court judged that the assault claim was unacceptable. So, Kim Byung-man was already a domestic affair in the Supreme Court, but the assault was not recognized. However, even if we claim this again as a criminal case, we are arguing that this will not be an assault.
◆Park Gui-bin: Kim Byung-man did not admit the assault and was not recognized by the court either. That's what I'm saying. So we're done with this part of the assault?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: That's not true. A police investigation has been conducted and has been handed over to the prosecution. But people are very confused about this part. Because usually, if there is no problem with the police, they don't hand it over to the prosecution, but just end it with a disposition of non-transmission. However, it was handed over to the prosecution as a non-prosecution. In the past, when the police did not have the right to terminate the investigation, they attached a certain opinion and handed it over to the prosecution, but now they can finish it at the police level. However, the reason why I handed over the opinion that there is no problem to the prosecution, which is the opinion that it should not be handed over to the trial this time, is because this is a domestic case. In the case of housekeeping cases, the police in charge are required to put their opinions and prosecute them to the prosecution. Since it has been moved according to this procedure, the prosecution will also make a final decision while collecting opinions from the police as much as possible. According to Kim Byung-man, a conclusion on this will be made by the end of November, so please wait a little bit.
◆Park Gwibin: I see. And another thing is about death insurance. This is Kim Byung-man's claim. My ex-wife signed up for dozens of death insurance without realizing it. First of all, I think the two of them have different arguments. What do you think?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: There are a lot of conflicting arguments because I heard there were 17 when I talked to them on the phone and covered them, but the lawyer in charge also said that there are more than 20 through other media outlets. But also, the ex-wife has 31 insurance policies through other media, but what's important is that what can be called death insurance here doesn't work like that. From my point of view, lawyers now comprehensively say that this is death insurance because insurance is incurred if a person dies as a result, but this cannot be regarded as a general death insurance. So, the number of insurance policies that are the main contracts for real deaths does not seem to be this high. Still, it is necessary for both sides to watch the workshop and hear whose words are correct, and the other important thing is that Kim Byung-man claimed that he did not know about such insurance during the insurance process. If Kim Byung-man's claim is true, this contract cannot be concluded without Kim Byung-man's handwritten signature. Even if it went in like this, if a fake sign was entered, all of these contracts would be invalid. In order to confirm this, Kim Byung-man needs to report to the Financial Supervisory Commission in the future to prove that his cause of death and actual insurance are wrong. If this turns out to be true, it seems that forgery of private documents or additional punishment will not be avoided.
◆Park Gui-bin: I see. Who is the beneficiary of this insurance?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: This beneficiary's ex-wife, who is divorced. And the ex-wife has a history of marriage and has an elementary school daughter at the time of marriage. He's in his 20s now, and he's in his daughter's name. So, Kim Byung-man is raising the issue that it doesn't make sense even for this. In the case of this death insurance, Kim Byung-man is currently asking why he can't cancel it arbitrarily, but the problem occurs if he cancels it arbitrarily is that if there is no problem with the insurance company, it cannot be refunded 100%. In the end, Kim Byung-man generated income and paid insurance premiums with this money, but the contract he did not want was terminated. If damage occurs here, secondary damage will occur from Kim Byung-man's point of view. So through the process, Kim Byung-man needs to prove that this is not a contract I really wanted. However, on the contrary, the ex-wife continues to say that she has never secretly joined. Kim Byung-man is busy with his filming schedule, so the insurance planner himself visited the set of the Gag Concert and even received his own signature. Since there is also a fact-check written by the designer, Kim Byung-man has to make an official statement on this material evidence.
◆Park Gui-bin: We refute each other, refute each other, and repeat it over and over again. Two years after the divorce, Kim Byung-man sued his ex-wife on charges of fraud, theft, and forgery of private documents. But I heard your ex-wife came out in September this year without charges. That's why I heard that he was judged not to be sent, so I think this is what his ex-wife claims.
◇Ahn Jin-yong: Yes, that's right. Lee's ex-wife's claim was that he bought insurance without Kim Byung-man's knowledge and pocketed about 670 million won. For this reason, Kim Byung-man filed a complaint, and on September 23rd, he received a decision not to send it. If you think about why your ex-wife made this claim through the media at this point, she was sent out on September 23 and proved that she had no judicial problems. Therefore, it seems that Kim Byung-man was trying to further inform the public and the media that he is making unreasonable claims in the process of wrapping up the remaining situations in the future. However, Kim Byung-man is also absolutely refuting this, so in the end, I think it will be the order to wait and see what the prosecution will judge about the ongoing case.
◆Park Gui-bin: And I heard that his ex-wife managed his property. According to Kim Byung-man's claim. So I didn't get any money yet. There's also a claim like this.
◇Ahn Jin-yong: In the meantime, if you go on an overseas business trip or shoot something like this in the past, Kim Byung-man doesn't spend much time in Korea. Since we were married as a family, of course, we left everything to the whole family, but it turned out that Kim Byung-man stole about 670 million won and various problems occurred. And Kim Byung-man's repeated claim is that he was judged by the court, including the division of property during the divorce, but this has not been implemented as it is.
◆Park Gui-bin: Yes, so this is the information about death insurance. And another problem related to the two is the issue of breaking up their daughter. Kim Byung-man's biological daughter is on the family register, and this is the adoption of his ex-wife's daughter, right?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: Yes, that's right. When I got married, I adopted my biological child. Adoption usually includes general adoption and biological adoption, but in the case of biological adoption, it is completely included in the family register of the adoptive father or adoptive father. It has the same effect as the parent. As a result, the couple are now divorced and become boys, but their ex-wife's daughter is still listed on Kim Byung-man's family register. And the last name is Kim. In this regard, we always talk about this. He asked if he had to go this far to the trial, but in the case of the dismissal of the adoption of biological children, it is not possible only through consultation between the two sides. It's bound to go through trial. So, for Kim Byung-man, it can be seen that he is going through legal procedures, but the important thing is that a lawsuit has already been filed once, but this has been dismissed. The main reason is that she doesn't want it. When you consider the terms of the dismissal, the law accepts the dismissal when a specific situation like this occurs, whether it's an imperial act or if the adopted child is being bullied, but if it's not like this, it's not easily accepted when one side doesn't want it. However, from Kim Byung-man's point of view, he divorced his ex-wife and is going through a very difficult time due to various judicial cases. In the end, it is believed that it is necessary to break all ties with his ex-wife.
◆Park Gui-bin: I already filed a lawsuit for the dismissal once, but I lost, and did you file another lawsuit for the dismissal this time?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: First of all, I lost the lawsuit against the dismissal. In addition, he continues to express his intention to give up, and the important thing is that his ex-wife does not want to give up. However, if we consider this a little more soberly, he got divorced, but his ex-wife is still Kim Byung-man's daughter, which is legal. Then, when Kim Byung-man inherits or something like this happens in the future, his ex-wife's daughter will inherit it again. Of course, he is currently legally Kim Byung-man's daughter. It's because I adopted my biological adopted child. However, it does not seem easy for Kim Byung-man to accept the situation in a situation where he is already divorced.
◆Park Gui-bin: But there's also a story like this. My ex-wife wants me to give her a break, so I'll give her a break. We'll accept it. Some say that they asked for $3 billion. Is this true?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: Kim Byung-man is making that argument, but his ex-wife has never said that. Rather, they said it was because they didn't intend to give up, but this is not a matter of money, but this is also a constant story and analysis, and Kim Byung-man has money to receive in the process of dividing his property. But as a result, I didn't ask for 3 billion won directly, but I will give up on the condition that I give up not receiving the money. Some analysts say that if the ex-wife said this, as a result, if the property division is not received under the condition of this dismissal, it will result in an effect of about 3 billion won.
◆Park Gui-bin: It's been a while since he got divorced, and there's an atmosphere where Kim Byung-man is active again these days. Why is this fight continuing in the lawsuit over this revelation? Why is that?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: In fact, only the parties concerned know about marital relationships. And now that you're divorced, and now you're divorced through a lawsuit, your relationship will be extremely bad. But why did this come up at this point? First of all, when Kim Byung-man resumed his activities, he appeared on an entertainment program and said that he got divorced after a long separation period. If you mention this, it can be stimulating for your ex-wife. And as I said earlier, there is a possibility that he has decided that he has something to say more confidently from his point of view because all of the lawsuits against him have already been decided against him in September.
◆Park Gui-bin: So from my ex-wife's point of view, I feel unfair. So this is what you're talking about after all.
◇Ahn Jin-yong: Yes. Currently, however, both sides are expressing their unfairness, so this lyrics case is the center. In this case, it is too difficult for a third party to judge that someone is more unfair. In the end, we will have to wait and see which side of the court's judgment is in favor of.
◆Park Gui-bin: There are a lot of problems left for the two to solve right now. How do you think it's going to go in the future?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: As I said, I keep talking about the judgment of the court, but it's because it's an objective judgment like a judicial institution. Because what's coming out of the media right now isn't 100% everything. Since they can talk and report only a limited amount of time within a limited time, they focus on the arguments of those who have been interviewed. After all, it's the law enforcement agency that can look at everything from one story to 100. When they see and make a certain judgment, they say that it's a more objective judgment in this situation.
◆Park Gui-bin: You've also covered the people involved in this case yourself, right?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: First of all, Kim Byung-man is on the phone with Kim Byung-man's lawyer and Kim Byung-man's agency officials, but Kim Byung-man's side is trying to keep quiet for now and end it as quiet as possible after this incident broke out. Because first of all, the daughter is actually very attached to Kim Byung-man, and Kim Byung-man also raised her like her own daughter. So, he is very careful about his daughter being mentioned in the process of breaking up and fighting, and Kim Byung-man has a program that he is appearing on right now. It's personal, but as a result, it can affect the programs that many people participate in, so I think it's more necessary to talk about it based on objective legal judgments rather than continuing to bump into each other.
◆Park Gui-bin: I think you'll continue to cover this case, but while you're covering it in the future, is there anything you're watching closely?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: First of all, both sides' arguments themselves are very stimulating. But these provocative claims are very popular, and the important thing is that over time, the media no longer reports whether the claim was true, and the public disappears from their concerns. This happened. I just remember everything and move on, but I'll tell you exactly what conclusions we came to when this happened. No more unfair people will occur, so we will report to the end what conclusions we draw based on the judgment of the judiciary.
◆Park Gwibin: I see. Who do you think is right when you've seen it so far?
◇Ahn Jin-yong: No one can talk about it carelessly. The person concerned is also arguing that I'm right about this, but I can't affirm this.
◆Park Gui-bin: It's painful. When I read the article, the arguments of both sides were very tight. So, if you argue about it, you refute it, and if you refute it again, both sides seem to have some sense, and this part is a little strange. It was very difficult because there were all of them. This has been reporter Ahn Jin-yong of the Munhwa Ilbo. Thank you, reporter.
◇Ahn Jin-yong: Yes, thank you.
