Actress Lee El criticized the public's accusations against the late Kim Sae-ron.
On the 17th, Lee El posted on her social account, "A 9-year-old knows nothing and is a child pushed by parents, while a 15-year-old is treated like a gold digger because they supposedly know everything?"
Lee El did not provide additional context for the post. However, as the late Kim Sae-ron's family recently claimed that she had been in a relationship with actor Kim Soo-hyun for six years since she was 15, it seems she expressed her opinion targeting this situation.
Previously, the late Kim Sae-ron stirred dating rumors by posting intimate photos with Kim Soo-hyun on social media. At that time, Kim Soo-hyun's side immediately denied the dating rumors, but recently the family disclosed photos and letters through YouTuber 'Garo Sero Research Institute' (hereafter 'Gaseyeon'), claiming Kim Sae-ron had been dating the 12-year-older Kim Soo-hyun since she was 15, creating a stir.
Afterward, suspicions of Kim Soo-hyun's 'grooming crime' spread, and his agency Gold Medalist explained, "Kim Sae-ron dated him only after she became an adult, during the summer of 2019 until the fall of 2020."
In response, Gaseyeon held a press conference on the 17th, stating, "(Kim Sae-ron) has written the dates noting that she has been in a relationship since November 2015 for six years. According to what I heard from her aunt, Kim Sae-ron keeps a diary and is bound to know the precise dates," continuing the conflict.
Amid this, as the fact of her dating Kim Soo-hyun became known, some fans began to criticize the late Kim Sae-ron and her parents instead. In response, Lee El strongly criticized the public's double standards, pointing out that a 15-year-old, who is simply regarded as an innocent child, is treated like a gold digger, asking, "Does a 15-year-old know everything about the world?"
Meanwhile, on the 17th, the late Kim Sae-ron's family filed a defamation lawsuit against YouTuber A, who created and uploaded a video about Kim Sae-ron's private life during her lifetime, stating, "YouTuber A has portrayed her in a strange way, with self-made dramas and relationships."
Additionally, they urged an apology for the distress caused to the family by Kim Soo-hyun's false statements, claiming that the family received two notices demanding compensation for the 700 million won penalty due to the drunk driving accident faced by Kim Sae-ron, stating, "We are considering legal action against Kim Soo-hyun's side in the future."
