While comedian Kim Byung-man’s ex-wife is claiming that Kim Byung-man stole 600 million won of his money and assaulted him, his ex-wife’s daughter and Kim Byung-man’s adopted daughter actually expressed her gratitude to him.
On the 18th, Dispatch reported on the process from meeting Kim Byung-man and his ex-wife until their divorce, and also disclosed a fact-confirmation letter submitted by daughter A to the family court. According to reports, unlike Kim Byung-man’s ex-wife who claimed assault, Miss A wrote, “He (Kim Byung-man) really did his best for me.”
Miss A, Kim Byung-man’s adopted daughter, said, “He raised me so well and gave me great love and grace for a long time,” and added, “Kim Byeong-man’s father is a truly grateful person.”
Miss A said, “My dad was short, so he was always proud of me being tall,” and “He always smiled, showed me jokes, and tried to give me everything I wanted.” “It was to the point where I was bickering with my mom who said, ‘You can’t do everything,’” he explained.
He continued, “Whenever I called my mom, the first thing she said was always, ‘What about ○○?’ “Even when I called from overseas, he asked, ‘Are you taller?’” he said. “I like an idol, and every time he performs, he contacts the person in charge of that idol and asks for the best seat. He takes a taxi and I take my manager. “I gave it to him,” he said, expressing his gratitude to Kim Byung-man for doing his best for him.
Meanwhile, Kim Byung-man’s side claimed that on July 30, 2019, when Kim Byung-man told his ex-wife B that he would take charge of the financial affairs, B withdrew about 670 million won from Kim Byung-man’s bank account and embezzled it. Kim Byung-man filed a divorce and property division lawsuit against Mr. B in 2020, and also filed a suit for damages for the 670 million won in transfer money that Mr. B stole.
Mr. B’s side expressed his intention not to divorce, saying there was a misunderstanding over property management. However, a counterclaim was filed in 2021, claiming 100 million won in alimony. Mr. B claimed that he was assaulted by Kim Byeong-man and blamed Kim Byeong-man for the reason.
The court, which sentenced the first trial in December 2022, ruled that the property division ratio should be 75% for Kim Byung-man and 25% for Mr. B. In addition, he handed over ownership of 1/2 share of the real estate to Kim Byeong-man, changed the name of the policyholder to Kim Byeong-man, and ordered him to return nearly 1 billion won. Accordingly, Mr. B appealed and appealed, but the Supreme Court dismissed it, and the couple’s divorce was finalized on July 9, 2023.
However, in February of this year, Mr. B sued Kim Byung-man for injury, assault, and rape. Mr. B stated that he was beaten about 30 times from March 2010 to June 2019. However, according to Kim Byung-man’s side, the police confirmed that Kim Byung-man was overseas on the day Mr. B claimed to have been assaulted.
In response, Kim Byung-man’s side said, “The police decided not to indict on the assault charge and sent it to the prosecution.”
Kim Byung-man’s side said, “Mr. B proposed a mediation plan, saying that he would write a consent form for dissolution on the condition that Kim Byung-man would not receive any division of property,” and that Kim Byung-man refused. In addition, Kim Byung-man’s side is in the process of filing a lawsuit against three insurance companies for payment of insurance cancellation fees, collections, and change of title in relation to the insurance that Mr. B subscribed to without his knowledge.

What are the key allegations made against comedian Kim Byung-man by his ex-wife?
The ongoing legal battle involving comedian Kim Byung-man and his ex-wife has garnered significant attention following accusations of financial misconduct and assault. Kim Byung-man’s ex-wife has claimed that he stole 600 million won (approximately $500,000) during their marriage and assaulted her. However, in contrast to these allegations, Kim Byung-man’s adopted daughter expressed deep gratitude towards him, highlighting the positive relationship they shared.
In her statement, the adopted daughter recounted how Kim Byung-man raised her with love and provided support throughout her life, fondly remembering his pride in her height and his efforts to ensure her happiness. She described his dedication, mentioning how he would go out of his way to arrange concert tickets for her and always maintained a cheerful disposition.
On the legal front, Kim Byung-man accused his ex-wife of embezzling funds after he took charge of their financial affairs. This has led to a divorce and property division lawsuit, with court rulings favoring Kim Byung-man regarding asset distribution. Despite these legal issues, the daughter’s positive testimony paints a starkly different picture of their family dynamics compared to the accusations made by his ex-wife.
As the situation develops, Kim Byung-man’s representatives are also dealing with allegations from his ex-wife, who has recently filed charges of injury and assault against him. Kim’s team has stated that these claims are baseless and referenced police findings supporting Kim’s position.
The situation remains complex, with ongoing legal proceedings and differing narratives from each party involved.
