A controversial legal case involving Kim Hyung-joong, a K-pop singer-actor, took a new turn as prosecutors charged his ex-girlfriend with an attempted fraud and defamation.

The girl identified as Choi was accused of making false accusations, the prosecutors said, reversing an earlier court decision acquitting her of libel charges.
 
The entertainment society was engulfed in shock and awe in 2014 when Choi sued Kim for beating her multiple times in the stomach, leading to miscarriage. She also insisted she was forced to take an abortion, demanding 1.6 billion won (1.3 million US dollars) in compensation.

In a newspaper interview in 2015 when Kim was drafted for a mandatory military service, she blamed Kim's beating for causing miscarriage again. Prosecutors, however, found Choi has never been pregnant. She was accused of providing concocted messenger app conversation as evidence.
