The case was going to be held on February 3rd at the Seoul Central Court but the date has been postponed to March 18.

The fifth case was previously postponed from December 23 to February, based on decisions by the court and it's the same this time around. Human resource matters led to this decision.

Kim Hyun-joong has been in a court battle with Choi regarding abuse, pregnancy and miscarriage since last year. Choi has asked for 1.6 billion won in compensation and Kim has sued her for defamation, threat and more.

Choi gave birth in between and the latest issue of the case was whether or not Kim was the father of the child. According to Seon Jong-moon, the DNA tests that were conducted in January came back with positive results and Kim is 99.9999% the father.

Lawyer Lee Jae-man and Kim's parents said, "We've made it clear that Kim Hyun-joong will take responsibility of the child. We will do what the court tells us to do for the child's happiness and we hope the child doesn't get involved in this media mess. However, the case will continue for the sake of Kim Hyun-joong's image".
