In a case in which Kim Ha-sung (28-San Diego Padres), who plays in Major League Baseball (MLB), sued a junior baseball player he played with in Korea, claiming that he was "blackmailed and robbed of money," the accused, Lim Hye-dong, identified himself and refuted Kim's claims.

Lim, a former baseball player, appeared on TV Chosun on July 7 and revealed his face and name. He joined the Nexen Heroes (now Kiwoom Heroes) as a pitcher in 2015, but quit after two years. After retiring, he joined Kim Ha-seong's management company and reportedly lived with Kim as his road manager in the United States.

"Whenever (Kim) had a drink, he would routinely just assault me," Lim told the media, adding, "We haven't spoken in two years, and he never asked for money or anything like that."

He added that he settled with Kim in December 2021 for $400 million, but that when he recently pursued legal action against Kim for breaching a confidentiality agreement, Kim accused him of blackmail.

Lim also released a photo of herself with wounds on her face and neck, claiming it was proof that she had been assaulted by Kim Ha Sung. 카지노

In response, Kim Haseong's camp said, "The allegations of repeated assault are not true," and that the photos she posted were unrelated to Kim Haseong.

With both sides contradicting each other, the case has become a battle for truth. The police said they will continue to investigate the accused and may hold a confrontation if necessary.

Previously, Kim filed a complaint against Lim last month at the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul, accusing him of racketeering and attempted racketeering.

Kim claims that he was asked for a settlement by Lim two years ago after he and Lim got into a fight over drinks at a bar in Gangnam, Seoul. He claims that Lim continued to demand money even after he received a large settlement.

Kim's agency, Summit Management, also said on the same day, "Kim Ha-seong was continuously blackmailed and threatened by a junior player." "We filed a complaint against him, and on the 6th, we appeared at the police station to complete the investigation of the complainant."

Kim played for the KBO's Kiwoom Heroes until 2020 before joining the MLB in 2021 through the posting system. This year, he became the first Asian infielder to win an MLB Gold Glove.
