Kim Ha-seong (28, San Diego Padres), the first Korean to win a Gold Glove in his third year in the major leagues, has filed a police report accusing his former teammate of extortion.
On June 6, Kim filed a complaint against his former Korean teammate, A.J. Kim of the Kiwoom Heroes, accusing him of extortion and threats, according to police.
In 2021, Kim Ha-sung allegedly had physical contact with A after drinking alcohol at a bar, and was subsequently asked by A for money several times to settle the assault.
In addition, although Kim tried to dismiss the case by delivering hundreds of millions of won in settlement money to A, A reportedly continued to contact Kim and demand money afterward. 토토사이트
Kim also reportedly received threats demanding money until recently. As a result, Kim eventually decided to press charges against A.
Mr. A is a junior to Mr. Kim, and is now reportedly retired from his professional career.
