Yang claimed, "On August 22, 2014, a certain media outlet released an exclusive report that Kim Hyun Joong's girlfriend filed suit against him for charges of battery, and until Kim Hyun Joong underwent police investigation around September 2 [of the same year], a total of 1,690 articles came out regarding the issue."
