The controversy over blackmail by Kim Ha-sung of the San Diego Padres in the U.S. Major League Baseball has not abated. 메이저 토토사이트
Kim Ha-sung sued his junior Lim Hye-dong for blackmail. In February 2021, a physical fight broke out while drinking, and Kim Ha-sung paid a whopping 400 million won as a settlement. However, the point is that even though Lim agreed, he recently demanded money from Kim Ha-sung again.
Lim’s side claimed through the media that Kim Ha-sung habitually assaulted her and gaslighted her. In response, Kim Ha-sung is suing Lim additionally for defamation.
The reason why Kim Ha-sung, who claims that he did not assault, gave a large amount of 400 million won has been revealed to some extent. February 2021, when the incident occurred, was a serious quarantine crisis due to COVID-19. And Kim Ha-sung, who received military service benefits from the Asian Games gold medal, was an alternative service period at the time. If it was revealed that he had been drinking with a large number of people in violation of the anti-collective quarantine rules, he was forced to agree because he feared that his personal life would be greatly damaged ahead of entering the U.S.
Whose words are true now needs to be revealed through police investigation. But there is another problem. It is possible that there may be another player, not just Kim Ha-sung, who was robbed of money by Lim.
A media outlet that mainly represents Kim Ha-sung’s position claimed that another big leaguer besides Kim Ha-sung was threatened by Lim and handed over the settlement this year. However, not only this media claim, but there are already rumors in the baseball world that a big leaguer gave a large amount to Lim. It is even said that the amount is larger than the 400 million won given by Kim Ha-sung.
Other than Kim Ha-sung, Ryu Hyun-jin, Choi Ji-man, and Bae Ji-hwan are the only Korean players who are active in the Major League. If this is true, one of the three people gave a huge amount of money to Lim, and the baseball world is worried because the incident could get even bigger.
If it is true that the money was handed over, it is inevitable that the reason will remain a mystery, whether it is for violence or other reasons.
