Former short track player Kim Dong-sung expressed his position on the controversy over non-payment of child support.



On the 4th, Kim Dong-sung explained through his girlfriend In Min-jung's Instagram, "I want to tell you my feelings about the content that floats on SNS after the broadcast."



He argued, "In December 2018, I agreed to divorce with my ex-wife on the condition of paying 3 million won for child support. After the divorce, I paid 7 million won per month including 3 million won for child support for 6 to 7 months." .



He revealed that he spent more than the agreed terms for child support, adding that the reason "I wanted the children to feel the absence of their father as little as possible, and in reality, I wanted them to live a little leisurely."



Kim Dong-sung won the gold medal at the Olympics as a short track player.

However, he said he is currently not receiving pensions.



He said, "You might think that the lesson fee will be high for the pension, but the pension was deprived by applying for permanent residence because his ex-wife wanted to get citizenship after getting married to the United States. Due to the coronavirus, he was unable to work for a while as the adult skating coaching position, which was the main source of income, disappeared. It was '0', so I couldn't send child support."


"In April 2020, a salary-type coach proposal came in, but my ex-wife was enrolled in Bad Fathers because of the delay in child support, and even the coach was put on hold. It was difficult to find a job, so the period of not being able to pay child support has increased since then. "Fortunately, I was able to work, and I tried to send even 2 million won after subtracting the minimum cost of living out of 2.9 million won per month. But, it is true that I haven't even given it to my personal life. "No," he regretted.



"I also applied for a child support adjustment, but the children were noticed and dropped out. I started working hard again and tried to match the child support expenses, and I promised to appear in'We Got Divorced' and deposited some 10 million won of the delayed child support expenses by receiving the prepaid contribution." He added, "There are many people who are worried about children after watching the broadcast, and the children also know the existence of a girlfriend. If only my ex-wife allows it, I would like to raise children," he added.



In addition, he said, "It is natural to be fingered for wrongdoing because of being a certified person. But, since you are a person, you can make mistakes and make mistakes. Please watch me while being generously whipping sometimes fiercely. I will change. I am changing."



Kim Dong-sung and his ex-wife married in 2004 and divorced in 2018.

Kim Dong-sung agreed to pay 1.5 million won per child and 3 million won monthly child support from January 2009 until the children reach adulthood.

However, last year, it was known that the two children were not properly paid, and the name was listed on'Bad Fathers'.



After the divorce, Kim Dong-seok, who made up the society with various suspicions, announced that he was preparing to marry again by appearing with his girlfriend in TV Chosun'We Got Divorced', which was broadcast on the 1st.

However, after the broadcast, Kim Dong-sung's ex-wife posted a message on the cafe bulletin board of the General Support Committee for Child Support Payments, saying, "It is a lie to keep paying child support" and again became controversial.

We got divorced. After the broadcast, I would like to tell you my feelings about the contents of the sns.



In December 2018, I divorced with my ex-wife on the condition of paying 3 million won for child support.



For about 6-7 months after divorce, we paid about 7 million won per month, including 3 million won for child support.

Some acquaintances said that it was too much, but...I wanted the children to feel the absence of their father as little as possible, and in reality, I wanted them to live a little leisurely.



However, my brother who sacrificed for my dream had heart and kidney problems and was treated.



Some people think that the gold medalist will be a pension, and the lesson fee will be high.. My ex-wife wants to receive citizenship as she goes to the United States after marriage, so my pension has been deprived by applying for permanent residence.



Due to the corona, I was unable to send child support because my main source of income, adult skating coaching, disappeared, and my income was zero.



In April 2020, a salary-based coach proposal came in, but his ex-wife was added to the Bad Fathers because of the delay in child support, and even the coaching position was on hold.

It was difficult to find a job, so the period of not being able to pay child support has increased since then.

Fortunately, I was able to work as an assistant coach with a salary of about 2.9 million won by evaluating and evaluating the person concerned, and I tried to send even 2 million won after subtracting the minimum living expenses out of 2.9 million won as far as possible.

However, it is true that I have never even given it.

However, I never gave it on purpose for my personal life.



I applied for a child support adjustment because it was difficult for my brother to undergo dialysis three times a week, to have a heart stance procedure 1-2 times a year, and to support the mother's support, but the children were stepped on and dropped off.

I started working hard again and was trying to meet the child support expenses, and we were divorced. We received a pre-paid appearance fee while promising to appear on the show and deposited some 10 million won of the delayed child support expenses.



There are many people who are worried about the children after watching the broadcast. The children also knew the existence of a girlfriend, and after divorce, they spent time with their girlfriend and eating with the child.

If I only allow my ex-wife, I have a great desire to raise children.



The reason I reveal my feelings even though I am old is to keep my promise with myself.



Even if you are listed in Bad Fathers because you can't match the full amount of child support, you will not be ashamed of your children as you live hard to pay for the overdue child support.



I'm waiting for the day when I wish my children forgiveness and skate with them together!



When I go to the hospital for dialysis, I will be a new person for my brother who holds my hand and gives me courage without words.

I will become a son who will pay tribute to my mother who laughs and pats me on my back.



It is natural to get a finger for wrongdoing for being a public figure.

Even though the reality is difficult and overwhelming, I am not responsible for my children, so I reflect and reflect, and I am forced to laugh each day for a month.



However, because you are a person, you can make mistakes or mistakes.

Please watch while whipping generously and sometimes fiercely.

It will change... It is changing.
