Not repaying the 100 million won borrowed from an acquaintance,
Kim pays off the debt after the investigation begins.
-Former basketball player and commentator Kim Seung-hyun, 42, was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison by the prosecution on the 16th for not repaying 100 million won borrowed from a friend. It is known that Kim has reimbursed all the money currently borrowed.
Judge Bang Il-soo, the 5th exclusive detective at Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Law, held the first trial on Kim, who was unanimously charged with fraud.
According to the prosecution, Mr. Kim borrowed 100 million won from his friend A, who was 20 years old, in the process of raising funds for the golf course acquisition project in May 2018.
Mr. A believed in his friend, Mr. Kim, and as it was the time when Mr. Kim married actor Han Jeong-won (33), it is known that Mr. Kim promised repayment as a wedding gift and lent money without a borrowing card. However, contrary to the promise, Mr. A filed a complaint with the police on December 31 of last year, when Mr. A filed a complaint with the police on December 31 of last year. “There was a difficult situation in doing so,” he said. “I tried to pay off in a difficult economic situation, such as paying 7.8 million won in interest as well as the principal.”

He added, “Kim has lived sincerely as a basketball player and broadcast commentator for a long time, and promised to make an effort to contribute his talents to society if the law allows him to do so.”
In his final statement, Mr. Kim also said, “I borrowed money from Mr. A, who was my friend, but I am sorry for not being able to repay for a long time.”
Mr. A’s lawyer explained, “As time passed, Mr. Kim didn’t show any signs of regret. Moreover, Mr. A was suing because he was living a luxurious life such as luxury cars, golf, and travel on social media.
However, “when the fact that Mr. A had filed a complaint with the police was reported, Mr. Kim paid 10 million won first, and when the case was passed by the prosecution’s opinion, he paid 40 million won to Mr. A.” When the media reports related to the fraud charges came out, he immediately paid 50 million won.”
Earlier, the prosecution decided that Mr. Kim had no ability or willingness to repay, and on September 21, charged Mr. Kim for fraud. The sentence for Mr. Kim is scheduled to be held on the 23rd.
