The court ruled that Lim Hye-dong (28), a former baseball player suspected of blackmail, should give major leaguer Kim Ha-sung (29, San Diego Padres) 800 million won for violating the terms of the agreement.
According to the legal community on the 31st, the 25th Civil Agreement Department of the Seoul Central District Court sentenced Kim Ha-sung to “pay 800 million won to the plaintiff” in a lawsuit filed against Lim Hye-dong the previous day.
The dispute between the two men, who are seniors and juniors, broke out in February 2021 when they got into a physical altercation while drinking at a bar in Gangnam, Seoul.
Lim Hye-dong demanded a settlement from Kim Ha-sung, who was a soldier at the time.
In the end, Kim Ha-sung gave a settlement of 400 million won on the condition that he would not contact them directly or indirectly or engage in adverse activities in the future. 토토사이트
However, when Lim broke the agreement, including contacting him afterwards, Kim Ha-sung filed a criminal complaint against him for blackmail at the end of last year, and filed a lawsuit for a penalty in a civil trial.
The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul, which conducted the investigation, sent Lim Hye-dong to the prosecution on the 1st, believing that the charges of blackmail and attempted blackmail were admitted.
Lim Hye-dong joined the Nexen Heroes (currently Kiwoom) in professional baseball in 2015 as a pitcher, but left the team the following year without making his first-team debut.
