On November 20, a representative from Kim Byung Man’s agency Sky Turtle confirmed to the media, “As of November 19, 2024, all charges against Kim Byung Man were cleared by the Uijeongbu District Prosecutors’ Office.” Kim Byung Man recently faced accusations of assaulting his ex-wife (hereafter referred to as “A”).
The police forwarded the case based on A’s testimony and evidence. “A” filed charges against Kim Byung Man for habitual injury, assault, and attempted rape causing injury, submitting 32 claims of abuse along with medical records as proof. However, not all of the 32 claims were substantiated.
