Kim Hyun Joong arrived at the police station at 9PM KST on September 2, and was released at 12:50AM the following day. He completed a 3-hour and 50-minute initial questioning pertaining to the assault case filed by his girlfriend.

During the investigation, Kim Hyun Joong said, "It is true that my emotions got the best of me during an oral argument and I hit her during a fight once. However, the rest of her allegations are false."

The police then told the media, "Kim Hyun Joong admitted to one incident of assault out of the four that he has been accused of, he denied the rest [of the accusations]... As for [his girlfriend's] rib fracture, he said that they didn't even notice it at the time, and that it resulted from when they were just playing around." In recall, Ms. A stated in her legal complaint that she obtain a rib fracture that required 6 weeks of therapy.

A police representative added, "As much as [Kim Hyun Joong's] and [his girlfriend's] statements are in conflict, we plan to summon Ms. A (Kim Hyun Joong's girlfriend) for further investigation as we see fit."

If Kim Hyun Joong is convicted, he could suffer a penalty of imprisonment and fine of about $10,000.

The statements Kim Hyun Joong rendered during the investigation seem to coincide with KeyEast Entertainment's initial comment on the issue. While the actor was insistent that he only hit her once, Ms. A (herein identified as Kim Hyun Joong's girlfriend) complained that she suffered cumulative abuse in the past two months that they've been together.

In the meantime, KeyEast Entertainment assures fans that Kim Hyun Joong's planned activities will not be affected by the investigations and that they will proceed as scheduled.
