In a developing legal case, actor Kang Kyung Joon is set to appear in court for the first hearing of an adultery damages lawsuit. Scheduled for July 24 at 11 AM KST, the initial trial will be presided over by Judge Kim Mi Ho of the Seoul Family Court’s Family Division 5.
The lawsuit, filed by Mr. A, alleges that Kang Kyung Joon was involved in an affair with Mr. A’s wife, Mrs. B, last December. Mr. A is seeking 50 million KRW in damages, claiming that Kang Kyung Joon engaged in the affair with full knowledge of Mrs. B’s marital status.
Kang Kyung Joon’s agency has contested these claims, suggesting potential misunderstandings and promising a measured response. Despite these denials, Mr. A has released Telegram messages that purportedly show Kang Kyung Joon expressing romantic sentiments, including phrases like “I miss you,” “I want to hug you,” and “I love you, I want to be with you.”
Initially referred to mediation by the Seoul Central District Court, the case was moved to the Seoul Family Court in April after Mr. A’s persistent refusal to settle out of court.
Kang Kyung Joon, who married actress Jang Shin Young in 2018, has two sons with her. The couple has previously shared glimpses of their family life on SBS’s ‘Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 – You Are My Destiny’ and KBS 2TV’s ‘The Return of Superman.
