The family of the late actor Kim Sae-ron conveyed their stance, stating that they were "not aware at all" of the allegations surrounding her marriage and abortion. Meanwhile, it appears the case will take another turn as actor Kim Soo-hyun's agency has filed a complaint against the family concerning the photos that were shared.
The position of Kim Sae-ron's family was revealed through the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute that aired on the 20th. Host Kim Se-ye observed, "The bereaved family said they had never heard that Kim Sae-ron was married and were completely unaware" and noted, "They find it incomprehensible why Kim Sae-ron spoke about her abortion to her manager."
Additionally, they stated, "The bereaved family says they have never hidden anything. They have no idea how such claims can be made, and it's absurd," adding that "Kim Sae-ron's mother was actually planning to hold a press conference today but could hardly stand due to health issues and was in tears."
YouTuber Lee Jin-ho, who was sued by Kim Sae-ron's family, recently raised allegations that Kim Sae-ron married her new husband in the United States and underwent an abortion. This was revealed by releasing recordings of conversations between Kim Sae-ron and her manager, Mr. A. The content indicates that the late actor suffered severe stress due to her partner, who had assaulted her during her lifetime.
Kim Sae-ron's family has publicly stated that the cause of her death lies with Kim Soo-hyun and a gold medalist who pressured her over debt repayment, and they have disclosed related materials. Additionally, they appointed attorney Bu Ji-seok from Law Firm Buyou and filed a lawsuit against Lee Jin-ho, who dealt with videos of the deceased.
In this process, the family revealed a photo of Kim Soo-hyun doing the dishes at Kim Sae-ron's residence. In response, the gold medalist filed a complaint. The gold medalist stated on the 20th, "Photos that could cause sexual humiliation involving Kim Soo-hyun should not be made public and there is no reason for them to be published," adding, "Due to concerns that such actions may occur again, we have inevitably proceeded with the complaints against Kim Sae-ron's family."
On the broadcast that day, Kim Se-ye expressed, "Kim Sae-ron's family conveyed their stance, saying, 'There is no devil like this devil. It's absurd,'" and he remarked, "The real fight has just begun. Kim Soo-hyun has finally stepped into the ring."
Lee Jin-ho also released a new video that day and announced his intention to sue Mr. B, who conducted interviews with several media outlets as 'Kim Sae-ron's aunt,' claiming that Mr. B falsely asserted numerous untrue facts during the interviews.
