Actor Kim Soo-hyun is finally speaking out. It has been about 20 days since allegations were raised regarding his relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron, who was a minor at the time.
On the 30th, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, announced that Kim Soo-hyun would hold a press conference at 4:30 p.m. on the 31st at the Stanford Hotel in Mapo-gu, Seoul.
The agency explained, "First of all, we apologize for any concerns caused by recent events," and "We have arranged this meeting to speak directly with the reporters."
At the press conference, Kim Soo-hyun and his legal representative from LK & Partners LLC will participate and announce their position. However, there will not be a separate Q&A session, and only Kim Soo-hyun's statement will be presented.
Kim Soo-hyun is currently facing allegations of having maintained a romantic relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron during her minor years. The family of Kim Sae-ron previously claimed through the YouTube channel "Garosero Research Institute" on the 10th that Kim Soo-hyun has been in a romantic relationship with Kim Sae-ron since her third year of middle school for over six years.
In particular, they claimed that while Kim Sae-ron was alive, her former agency, Gold Medalist, which was founded by Kim Soo-hyun, pressured her by sending a content certification regarding a compensation amount of 700 million won last year, and that Kim Soo-hyun, despite being her former lover, overlooked this situation.
However, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, refuted the claims, stating that while it is true that Kim Sae-ron and Kim Soo-hyun dated, it was not during her minor years but rather from the summer of 2019 when she was an adult until the fall of 2020. They also explained that the content certification regarding Kim Sae-ron was merely a legal procedure to process the penalty for her DUI incident and that they had never demanded actual payment.
Following the ongoing denials from Kim Soo-hyun's side, on the 27th, the family of the late Kim Sae-ron held a press conference in a certain location in Seocho-gu, Seoul, and revealed evidence that Kim Soo-hyun had been in a relationship with the deceased since her minor years, again demanding an apology.
Additionally, Kim Soo-hyun has been embroiled in allegations that he pressured the late Sulli to perform a nude scene during the filming of the movie "Real." The late Sulli's biological brother recently released a statement through a media outlet, stating that he heard that the bed scene between Sulli and Kim Soo-hyun in the movie "Real" was not originally specified in the script, prompting calls for clarification.
As various allegations and controversies continued to arise, even Kim Soo-hyun's fans began demanding clarification through the press conference. Ultimately, attention is focused on what explanation Kim Soo-hyun, who is breaking his silence after 20 days, will provide.
