Heo Woong (Busan KCC), who was embroiled in a controversy over his private life with his ex-lover, refuted the allegations surrounding him.
"The two abortions were never forced," Heo Woong said in a video released on YouTube channel 'Caracula' on the 5th. "There was a suspicion that the second pregnancy might not be my child, but I still thought it was my child and tried to do my best because I am a public figure and I think I have something to take responsibility for."
Heo Woong said, "I have never responded lukewarmly to some circumstances that he responded to his ex-lover A after the abortion surgery. It may seem like that, and of course there are things I did wrong, but if I look at the whole thing, I didn't and I really liked him, so I tried to do it."
As for the act of breaking into her house and scribbling, she said, "As soon as we broke up, she had another man. We wanted to meet again," and added, "We even knew each other's passwords at home. We missed each other so much that we wrote a letter. We wrote our love. We didn't put a threatening message in it."
Heo Woong also denied the allegation that he assaulted A. He said, "I have never assaulted A. I also protected him if I wanted to protect him, I can't understand the claim that I hit him," and added, "In the midst of a quarrel at the hotel, A laminated him, but he hit me, and one fell."
In addition, he also expressed that he has both "Byeong X" and "Romance Guy."
Heo claimed that he received constant threats from A. "I received threats while talking about the amount of money. I actually didn't have much money, so I even asked my brother for money," he said. "I sent an article on abortion and said that 300 million won is a bargain."
Above all, Heo Woong explained why he first filed a complaint against A and first expressed his position to the media. He said, "The intensity of the intimidation became stronger day by day. It was so hard. It was a difficult decision as a public figure, but I thought I should cut it off."
Heo Woong said, "I knew that critical stories would come out to me, but now there are many parts that are different from the truth. I'm just really sorry that I've been criticized a lot and I've done wrong and my personal life has been exposed to the public."
Heo eventually burst into tears while conducting the interview. Then the interview ended.
Heo Woong sued his ex-lover A on charges of attempted blackmail, intimidation, and stalking on the 26th of last month. A dated Heo Woong from 2019 to 2022 and is also known to basketball fans.
While suing A, Heo Woong said, "I suffered from constant financial demands and threats for three years since I had a girlfriend," adding, "I had two abortions during my relationship with A, and it was done because I did not plan to get married."
Later, Heo Woong's legal representative corrected his position, saying, "Heo Woong tried to get married whenever A was pregnant twice." 동행복권파워볼
In this regard, A told this newspaper, "Huhung has never expressed his intention to marry," adding, "There was nothing I could decide on, neither marriage nor abortion surgery."
Mr. A appointed a legal representative to continue legal action against Heo Woong and other officials who spread false information.
"Women are not the toilet of desire," said Noh Jong-eon, a lawyer representing A's legal representative law firm. "I never imagined that there would be a man who would sue his former lover first after committing these acts," he said. "We will clearly reveal the crime and plan to sternly respond to Heo Woong and some media outlets that continue to inflict secondary harm to victims."
