"We have submitted a request to drop the lawsuit. A has expressed that she does not want Kim Hyun Joong to be penalized. Kim Hyun Joong personally met with A and genuinely apologized for his actions. A accepted his apology. She did not receive any settlement money."

Prosecutors, however, said that despite investigations being put to a conclusion because of the lawsuit being dropped, Kim Hyun Joong could still be prosecuted because he admitted to an instance of assault, regardless of A not wanting him penalized.

1. [+4,157, -130] Whatever the case, his career is over! Goodbye

2. [+3,466, -119] He's done for anyway

3. [+3,083, -181] Either way, he hit a woman and that is unforgivable. Makes absolutely no sense to beat a woman to the point of her rib breaking, especially a woman you love. I've liked him since his SS501 days so my disappointment in him is great.

4. [+1,835, -155] Hmm... I don't know...

5. [+642, -62] You might call her foolish but I can understand her as a woman. Remember how she endured and forgave two years of not only abuse but him cheating on her all the time. She was brought to boiling point like this but she probably felt bad and hurt over seeing the man she loves be crushed like this. She believed his apology to be real and forgave him... I'm sure she truly loves him.

6. [+568, -24] I understand... As you live on in life, you come to realize that some things are worth more than money itself. Imagine the betrayal she must feel from someone she loves... It's good that she didn't accept the money so that he feels even more sorry over his actions. Money would never be able to cure the wounds that he inflicted on her.

7. [+519, -31] He can reach a settlement with his girlfriend but not with the netizens ㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+442, -16] This will follow him for the rest of his life
