Kim made his debut as a member of SS501 on 23 June 2005, with the group's first EP, Warning, released by DSP Media.[7][8] Their second EP, Snow Prince was released in late 2005, five months after their debut.[9] The group quickly gained popularity, winning multiple new artist awards in 2005 and 2006. The following year, in 2007, SS501 debuted in Japan with the single "Kokoro," which reached number five on the Oricon charts.[10] In January 2008, the group received a Newcomer Award at the Japan Gold Disc Award ceremony, making them one of only a few South Korean artists to win this award.[11][check quotation syntax]

Following the success of Boys Over Flowers, Kim played his second lead role in a drama, in 2010's Playful Kiss, a Korean adaptation of the Japanese shōjo manga, Itazura na Kiss.[22] The show flopped on South Korean television, but was an international hit on foreign television and on online streaming platforms, helping solidify Kim's popularity as a Hallyu star.[23][24]

Lawsuits
Assault charges
In August 2014, Kim's girlfriend, identified only by her surname Choi, filed assault charges against Kim, claiming that he repeatedly beat her, causing bruises and broken ribs.[82][83][84] Kim denied the charges, saying he had injured Choi only once and that it was an accident that occurred while he was practicing martial arts.[85] Choi dropped some of the charges against Kim in September after he apologized to her.[84] However, Kim was later fined 5 million KRW for injuring Choi, with prosecutors in the case saying, "While Kim claimed that he had no intention of hurting her, the damage from the attack was clear."[85]
In 2016 after proper investigation the ROK Courts cleared Kim Hyun Joong of all Ms Choi's allegations against him. Medical Evidence was even procured that showed the bruised and broken ribs incident in 2014 for which KHJ was fined Ms Choi had in fact injured herself while at a Gym.[1]
Paternity case
In February 2015, a magazine reported that Kim and Choi had reunited, and that Choi was pregnant. Kim stated via a press release that he had not seen Choi since she told him that she was pregnant in January, and could not confirm if he was the father.[86]
In May, Choi filed a lawsuit against Kim for 1.48 million USD for mental distress caused by her relationship with him, and claimed that his abuse had caused her to miscarry a previous pregnancy in 2014.[87][88] Kim later filed and won a 100 million KRW counter-suit against Choi for defamation, with the court ruling that there was circumstantial evidence that she was not pregnant in 2014.[89] Her lawsuit was dismissed, and she appealed the decision.[80]
In December 2015, a paternity test revealed that Kim was the father of a baby that Choi had given birth to in September of that year.[88][90]
