Comedian Kim Byung Man Cleared Of Charges Filed By Ex-Wife

Comedian Kim Byung Man has been cleared of assault charges involving his ex-wife.

On November 20, a representative from Kim Byung Man’s agency Sky Turtle confirmed to the media, “As of November 19, 2024, all charges against Kim Byung Man were cleared by the Uijeongbu District Prosecutors’ Office.”

Kim Byung Man recently faced accusations of assaulting his ex-wife (hereafter referred to as “A”). The police forwarded the case based on A’s testimony and evidence. “A” filed charges against Kim Byung Man for habitual injury, assault, and attempted rape causing injury, submitting 32 claims of abuse along with medical records as proof.

However, not all of the 32 claims were substantiated. The police referred the case to the Uijeongbu District Prosecutor’s Office for further investigation under Article 7 of the Special Act for the Punishment of Domestic Violence, focusing on charges of injury, assault, and attempted rape causing injury.

Kim Byung Man’s team responded, stating that he was overseas on the day his ex-wife claimed the assault took place and pointed out that the court had already dismissed this part of the allegation.

Previously, Kim Byung Man’s legal representative appeared on a YouTube channel and alleged that “A” had signed up for about 20 life insurances in Kim Byung Man’s name, revealing that the recipient for most of the life insurance was listed as “A.”

In a September 19 interview with a media outlet, “A” denied the allegations regarding the life insurance and stated that the assault occurred, adding that their daughter had once witnessed an assault and that neighbors had previously called the police.

However, in the Fact Confirmation Certificate submitted by the daughter of “A,” she expressed her gratitude to her adoptive father Kim Byung Man. The daughter wrote, “Dad is short, so he was always proud of me for being tall. He always smiled and showed me jokes, and he did everything I wanted. It was to the extend that he would bicker with my Mom who said, ‘You can’t give her everything.’ He really did his best for me. He raised me this well, and he shared great love and kindness for a long time. [My] father Kim Byung Man is someone I am truly grateful for.”
