YouTuber A, who has been accused of defamation by the family of the late actress Kim Sae-ron, filed a lawsuit against Kim Sae-ron's 'fake aunt.' In response, Kim Sae-ron's mother released a statement directly addressing the 'fake aunt.'

On the 21st, the mother of the late Kim Sae-ron refuted A's claims through the YouTube channel 'Garosero Research Institute.'

On that day, Kim Sae-ron's mother said, "A is claiming, 'I am suing Kim Sae-ron's fake aunt.' A, we have no such person. We have never harmed anyone. That person is simply 'Sae-ron's aunt.'"

She continued, "What is the problem with a real aunt and a fake aunt? I met her as a fellow actress when Sae-ron was around 6 years old, and we have shared household and management duties, helping each other fill in gaps. The time we have spent together, where my children regard her as an actual aunt, is approaching 20 years."

Kim Sae-ron's mother remarked, "I am also like a real aunt to my sister's children. When I was sick, she would drop everything and come to me first, and when I was struggling, she stayed up all night to listen. Sometimes, we would argue over disagreements, and she hears the things my children can't tell their mother, as a friend or sister would. She helps take care of the children's meals, so isn't that family?"

She added, "What more do I need to do to prove I am a real aunt? Are there other conditions required to be a real aunt? The person who has stopped all activities since the day Sae-ron passed and has been by my side for over a month—what else could that be if not being an aunt?"

Kim Sae-ron's mother stated, "The 'fake aunt' mentioned by A is just like a real aunt to us. She has been given the authority to handle all external communications on behalf of our family and is doing so legitimately. I urge you to stop actions that blur the essence and demand an apology from A."

Meanwhile, YouTuber A announced plans to file a lawsuit against A, who claimed to be the aunt of the late Kim Sae-ron, as well as comedian Kwon Young-chan and lawyer Bujiseok.
