Actor Kim Soo-hyun is in a difficult position due to consecutive revelations, and fans are also demanding clarification through a press conference. Kim has maintained silence for three days following a press conference from the family of the late Kim Sae-ron.

On the 29th, fans at the Kim Soo-hyun gallery on DC Inside stated in a statement, "As the recent controversy surrounding actor Kim Soo-hyun grows, fans do not take this situation lightly and wish to convey the need for a careful attitude and responsible clarification."

Furthermore, the fans said, "Recent reports have revealed circumstances related to past personal relationships, bringing public and private matters concerning him to the center of societal interest. In particular, with specific materials such as KakaoTalk messages and photos being released, the confusion and concern among the public have intensified as inconsistencies with previous statements are confirmed. Additionally, issues related to past works have emerged, raising questions about responsibility and ethics as an actor, going beyond mere controversies in the entertainment industry."

They continued, "Fans remember well the earnest acting and warm image that actor Kim Soo-hyun has shown over the years, and the comfort and inspiration he has provided to the public. For this reason, we sincerely hope he will come forward to clarify the facts and clearly state his position at this time."

Additionally, they emphasized, "Fans expect actor Kim Soo-hyun to show greater maturity and responsibility through this controversy and cautiously hope he resumes his path with a long-term vision. We earnestly request that actor Kim Soo-hyun communicate the truth directly through a press conference and sincerely explain the suspicions that have arisen."

Earlier, the family of the late Kim Sae-ron claimed through the YouTube channel 'Garosero Research Institute' (abbreviated as 'Gaseyeon') that Kim Soo-hyun is responsible for the cause of her death and demanded an official apology.

The family requested an official apology regarding the following: recognition that Kim Soo-hyun dated the late Kim Sae-ron for six years since she was a minor; an official apology for the statement that no relationship existed between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron for the past three years; an acknowledgment of Kim Sae-ron's contributions as a founding member of Gold Medalist and an official apology for that; and an official apology for recognizing the document and payment demand of 700 million won related to Kim Sae-ron.

However, Kim Soo-hyun's side described the relationship allegations as "an undeniable and blatant falsehood," stating, "We are considering the strongest legal response possible to the false information disseminated by Garosero Research Institute," but later changed their statement to acknowledge that they dated "from the summer of 2019, after Kim Sae-ron became an adult, until autumn 2020."

Following continuous denials from Kim Soo-hyun's side, the family of the late Kim Sae-ron held a press conference on the 27th in Seocho District, Seoul, revealing evidence that Kim Soo-hyun dated the late Kim Sae-ron since her minor years and reiterated their demand for an apology.

In the materials released by the family, Kim Soo-hyun sent affectionate messages to Kim Sae-ron, such as "I miss you" and "When can I hold you and fall asleep?" When Kim Sae-ron sent a message saying "I love you," he replied, "Do it for real later."

Additionally, a letter that Kim Sae-ron intended to send to Kim Soo-hyun but failed was also disclosed. This letter was written in April after receiving a formal notice from Gold Medalist in March of last year. In the handwritten letter, Kim Sae-ron wrote, "The time we spent together was approximately 5-6 years," and "It was both my first love and my last love."

If the materials are not fabricated, then the claims made by Kim Soo-hyun's side about 'dating during adulthood' lose credibility. The family's lawyer expressed doubts, stating, "If they announce that they didn't date, looking at the current KakaoTalk messages, isn't that 'grooming sexual abuse'? Are we saying they didn't date? Can we respond any further?"

In the meantime, on the 28th, A, the brother of the late Sulli, issued a statement requesting responses from actor Kim Soo-hyun and director Lee Sang-rang (Lee Robe) with whom he collaborated in the movie 'Real.'

According to the statement, A specifically called for a response from Kim Soo-hyun and director Lee Sang-rang regarding testimonies from staff and actors gathered during the funeral, noting that he heard the intimate scenes between the late Sulli and Kim Soo-hyun were not specified in the script.

Furthermore, there was mention of a stand-in actress regarding Sulli's nude scene during filming. It was said that the stand-in was present on site, raising questions about why they did not use the stand-in and instead insisted on coercing Sulli into performing intimate and nude scenes. It was also stated that the reason a stand-in couldn't attend the day the intimate and nude scenes were filmed was due to illness, yet testimonies from attendees at the funeral indicated that the stand-in was on site, demanding responses from Kim Soo-hyun and Lee Sang-rang regarding this matter.

Following the statements from the family of the late Kim Sae-ron and the family of the late Sulli, Kim Soo-hyun's side has yet to release a statement and has maintained silence. However, the situation has escalated with fans also issuing statements demanding direct clarification from Kim Soo-hyun. Attention is focused on what decision Kim Soo-hyun will make while cornered.
