Goo Ji-yong, a member of the first-generation idol group Sechs Kies, is expected to receive a ruling today (18th) on his temporary injunction application regarding visitation rights with his son against his ex-wife, family medicine specialist Heo Yang-im.

According to StarNews' confirmation on the 18th, the Seoul Family Court is scheduled to issue its decision today on Goo Ji-yong's temporary injunction request filed against Heo Yang-im, seeking to prohibit interference with visitation rights and ban the posting of children's photos and videos.

Previously, Goo Ji-yong's agency, Mountain Movement Story, announced on the 16th that "Goo Ji-yong has filed a temporary injunction application with the court against his ex-wife to prohibit interference with visitation rights and ban the posting of children's photos and videos."

Goo Ji-yong stated, "On May 9, after our consensual divorce on April 24, 2024, I was rushed to the hospital due to liver cirrhosis, liver fibrosis, and shock, facing even death. During our marriage, my condition worsened, but we reached amicable agreements, and for about two years, I was hospitalized multiple times, fighting alone between life and death." Issues arose regarding child support payments and visitation rights with his son during this period. Additionally, Goo Ji-yong claimed that Heo Yang-im used his son's photos without permission for hospital promotion.

Goo Ji-yong said, "I believe there are many things my ex-wife cannot speak of, and I have endured them. Although I sent response letters twice via registered mail requesting installment payments for unpaid child support, I can no longer ignore this."

The agency stated, "We have been diligently fulfilling child support payments since August 2026. Seeing him grow weary from longing for his child, we decided we could no longer remain passive."

Subsequently, in a phone call with StarNews, Goo Ji-yong said, "I last saw my son on Children's Day this year," adding, "Not being able to see my son is the biggest pain." His side claimed that his ex-wife's side insisted on communication only through legal representatives, eliminating any channel to coordinate meeting schedules with their son.

Heo Yang-im issued a statement via her personal SNS account on the 17th to refute these claims.

Heo Yang-im explained, "As Seung-jae's sole custodial parent, I am deeply cautious about revealing my position given his sensitive age. There was no separate agreement regarding regular visitation rights at the time of divorce. Recently, Mr. Goo Ji-yong claimed that I have unreasonably restricted his visitation rights with Seung-jae, so I have already filed a petition for visitation rights adjudication with the court."

She added, "We plan to proceed with visitation rights diligently according to the court's future decision." It was reported that Heo Yang-im filed a temporary injunction application regarding child support and a lawsuit for visitation rights adjudication against Goo Ji-yong on the 5th.

Meanwhile, Goo Ji-yong and Heo Yang-im married in 2013 and have a son named Seung-jae. They divorced by mutual consent in April 2024.
