@Ter- He might just be pissed off. From his point of view, he was right, in whatever happened, and SHE (the one in the wrong) sued him. He MUST be really angry because their image is being dragged through the mud and she’s at fault. His “Korean Royalty” image is not going to go scot-free. It might hurt his career to have this “scandal” and “women-hitter” stamp on him, and as an actor, who wouldn’t be angry?

In this case, I might not agree, but I can understand. I don’t think she’ll really end up with 2 yrs jail. The paparazzi itself has been getting too close anyway. (Actually, there needs to be more laws out there for them everywhere). Publicity is one thing, but harassment isn’t, and he’s not the “news-seeking Paris Hilton” type much either.

only as far as how much it’s already public knowledge or perception, & maybe how it enhances people accepting him as historical royalty. that extra dimension’s gotta give him the leg-up. i wonder for example, is his “illustrious background” ever used by journos talking about him, or in marketing??

2 years + jail time??? Even if she was guilty of all those accusations, I still think thats dumb and doesn’t make SIK look like a nice guy either.

It’s just to say that SIK comes from a powerful family in Korean society. If her story was true, we won’t know for a long time. And if her story wasn’t true, we still won’t know for a long time.

who cares about his family history. You guys dont know the man. You guys dont know what happened. lets just hope the truth will be revealed

Much more likely? Both think they were right. Here’s what I’m thinking. She pushed a bit too closely… Up there it says that a friend of hers said that he slammed the door in her face, therefore hurting her teeth. Everyone knows reporters/paparazzi gets too close for comfort sometimes. Maybe that day he wasn’t having such a great day, she comes to push him, he can’t escape her questioning and maybe when she stepped in front of him to talk to him, he pushed/walked right into her and heads for his apartment. He hit/elbow her, the tape might’ve shown him walking past her only. Whether intentionally edited because of his supposed connections or that was the angle… *shrugs* She comes after him (after all, if she got hurt by the door, she must’ve been AT the door) and he slams the door, not cautious enough of the fact that she was behind it.

I’m thinking both are/are not at fault. To me, it looks like a case blown out of proportion, with both too reacting too quickly, but not with any really violent intentions. However, my version is kind of neutral, but if she was physically touching him instead of just blocking, then he had ever right to yank back. I just don’t think he’d hit her intentionally (if he did at all), especially since they say the teeth was hurt by a door. Cases like these are really “he said, she said”, aren’t they? Anyway, regardless, if he didn’t want to answer, she should’ve left… Then this whole nasty scenario would be avoided. And I REALLY don’t buy hitting others without being provoked, especially him an idol with an image.

in either report, she’s at fault. if it’s the first one-she shouldn’t be harassing him and trying to trespass. if it’s the second one- she shouldn’t be grabbing him. She must have grabbed him pretty hard, making him feel threatened, if he felt the need to forcefully snatch his arm away. And if it’s the second story, then it’s dumb of him to say they never touched because he could probably sue her for physically harassing him on top of libel. And if this was a situation between a random guy and a random woman grabbing onto a guy, harassing him and invading his personal space and there were witnesses- those witnesses would have probably said that he wasn’t in the wrong, that it was an accident, and the woman was crazy.

I think the situation might have been this: he might have hit her accidentally while snatching his arm back/closing the door but because she was such an obnoxious woman- he refused to apologize and she got mad and resentful. It’s like one of those cases where a woman spills soda on a restaurant floor, then slips on it herself, and then sues the restaurant for it.
