Major leaguer Kim Ha-sung (30, Tampa Bay Rays) also won the second trial of a penalty lawsuit against his former teammate Lim Hye-dong, saying he “violated the agreement.”

On the 23rd, the Seoul High Court’s Civil Division 4 (Chief Judge Kim Woo-jin) dismissed Lim Hye-dong’s appeal in the second trial of a penalty lawsuit filed by Kim Ha-sung against Lim Hye-dong and sentenced him in the same manner as in the first trial.

The dispute between the two men, who are in the middle of the class, was to drink at a bar in Gangnam, Seoul, in February 2021 It happened during a physical fight.

Lim Hye-dong demanded a settlement from Kim Ha-sung, who was a soldier at the time.

In the end, Kim Ha-sung gave 400 million won in settlement on the condition that he did not contact them directly or indirectly or engage in disadvantageous actions in the future, but Lim Hye-dong broke the agreement, contacting them later.

In response, Kim Ha-sung filed a criminal complaint against him on charges of blackmail at the end of 2023 and filed a lawsuit for a penalty in a civil trial.

On the other hand, Lim filed a civil lawsuit worth 100 million won, claiming that Kim Ha-sung violated his obligation to maintain confidentiality by informing a third party of the agreement, but lost the first trial and the ruling was confirmed.
