On November 21, 2006, a man with the surname Han filed a lawsuit against Jaejoong's guardians. Han claimed he was Jaejoong's biological father, and thus wanted parental rights.
Han cited the reason for the lawsuit against Jaejoong's legal guardians as "for not going through the proper procedures before registering [Jaejoong] in [the legal guardians'] custody." He divorced Jaejoong's biological mother in late 1980s, and gave up his custody over his child, leaving him under Mrs. Han's custody. However, he had found out some years ago Jaejoong had been raised by a third party, not his biological mother. A DNA
test was to be performed in order to prove validity of Han's claim. Many legal consultants comment that since the adoption had taken place correctly according to the corresponding law, no legal change will be involved regardless of the outcome.
The first hearing was to be held in Jaejoong's hometown, Gongju, on November 29, 2006. But on November 22, Han dropped the charges against Jaejoong's legal guardians. Han said that he originally intended to resolve his biological son's military duty conflicts after being informed of dual citizenship by Ministry of Military Affairs, which involved verifying the fact that he is the biological father. He did not expect his intention to lead to such a scandal, and states that he was scarred by speculations that he wanted to take advantage of Jaejoong's fame.
In reaction to the matter, Jaejoong uploaded a journal entry on his official fan club website, and said that he was informed of the existence of separate biological parents by his mother two or three years ago, and it had been quite a shock to him. With his current mother's support, his biological mother has been able to keep in touch with him, and to meet occasionally, but whereabouts of his father had been unknown.
He vigorously expressed his will to live by the name of "Kim Jaejoong," not by his birth name Han Jaejoon (한재준), and promised to be loyal to all four of his parents.
