Kim Soo-hyun's side, which is engaged in a difficult battle with the family of the late Kim Sae-ron, clarified the sniper against the family of the late Choi Jin-ri (Sulli) related to the film 'Real'.

Gold Medalist, which is Kim Soo-hyun's agency and directed by Lee Sang of 'Real', explained on the 2nd, "Regarding the bed scene filming: The late actress Choi Jin-ri was aware of the scene beforehand and proceeded with the filming. Concerning the stand-in actor: instead of a doubles actor who performs, there was a 'standing actor' who replaced the actor's movement in the preparation stage without performing."

Furthermore, "We attach fact verification statements from Kim Joong-ok, the assistant director of the film 'Real,' and Lee Joon-hyun, the scripter, who conducted filming for all scenes including the bed scene. The screenplay, storyboard work, and filming are areas managed by the production team, and Kim Soo-hyun, who participated as an actor in the work, has no relation. We did not contact the late Choi Jin-ri's mother. We do not know her contact information," he emphasized.

Earlier, the late Sulli's older brother stated that he learned from staff and actors at his sister's funeral that when his sister participated in the film 'Real,' ▲ the script did not specify a bed scene with Kim Soo-hyun, ▲ a body double was present on set for the nude scene, but instead of using the double, they pressured Sulli into the bed scene and the nude scene, and ▲ it was reported that on the day they filmed the bed scene and the nude scene, the stand-in actor was sick and could not come, although attendees testified that the stand-in actor was present.

"Although I received many stories at the late Sulli's funeral, I only ask three questions based on facts, and I hope you will actively respond to them," demanding a position statement from Kim Soo-hyun, the lead actor in 'Real,' and director Lee Sang.

Last month, when various allegations about Kim Soo-hyun regarding the late Kim Sae-ron surfaced, he posted online, "I have a lot to say, but I can't. Hold on tight; it's going to fall from a high place," leading to suspicions of 'targeting Kim Soo-hyun,' and later he posted, "Your life, my life, and everyone's life is 'Real,'" referencing the film 'Real.'

However, Kim Soo-hyun's side is responding by refuting the claims made by the late Sulli's brother in detail.

Meanwhile, the family of the late Kim Sae-ron, who passed away in February, strongly claims that she had been in a relationship with Kim Soo-hyun since her minor years, alleging 'grooming crimes.' In addition, Kim Soo-hyun's agency pressured them by sending a written notice regarding compensation of 700 million won related to Kim Sae-ron's drunk driving crime while she was alive, claiming that Kim Soo-hyun neglected this and exposed details of their personal lives. On the afternoon of the 31st of last month, Kim Soo-hyun held an emergency press conference at Stanford Hotel in Mapo-gu, Seoul, strongly denying the allegations of being in a relationship with the deceased during her minor years. He cried out that the individuals in the 2016 and 2018 KakaoTalk conversations released by the family were different people. Kim Soo-hyun asserted that he dated the deceased for about a year and broke up before 'Queen of Tears' aired four years ago. Accordingly, he raised his voice, stating, "If the evidence the family possesses is truly factual, I request that they submit all materials to the investigative agency and be verified through legal procedures."

The following is the full statement from Gold Medalist.

Hello, this is Gold Medalist. We provide an official statement regarding the film .

First, we wish for the repose of the soul of the late Choi Jin-ri.

The role of the female protagonist, Song Yu-hwa, played by the late Choi Jin-ri, included a bed scene from the script, which is why we specified that we needed 'actors who can perform nudity' during casting. Just as there are essential conditions in a typical job posting, the role of Song Yu-hwa necessitated exposure, which should have been communicated beforehand. In fact, discussing nudity after casting could place undue pressure and coercion on the actors.

The script passed on to the late Choi Jin-ri and her agency also included a bed scene, and the materials explaining the character of Song Yu-hwa had a visual proposal for the level of exposure. Additionally, the contract for appearance also specified a clause regarding the scope of exposure separately. The late Choi Jin-ri and her agency thoroughly reviewed all the details before deciding to participate.

Nevertheless, knowing that a bed scene requires great courage from actors, the production team had a thorough preparation process, and the late Choi Jin-ri was aware of the bed scene and proceeded with the filming.

▲ Regarding the bed scene filming: The late Choi Jin-ri was aware of the scene beforehand and proceeded with the filming.

▲ Concerning the stand-in actor: instead of a doubles actor who performs, there was a 'standing actor' who replaced the actor's movement in the preparation stage without performing.

In this regard, we attach fact verification statements from Kim Joong-ok, the assistant director of the film 'Real,' and Lee Joon-hyun, the scripter, who conducted filming for all scenes including the bed scene. Also, the screenplay, storyboard work, and filming are areas managed by the production team, and Kim Soo-hyun, who participated as an actor in the work, has no relation.

As supported by the testimonies of the key staff of the production, the late Choi Jin-ri and her agency were fully informed about the role of Song Yu-hwa. It is unthinkable in any production to pressure actors into bed scenes and nude scenes by persuading them on set.

Lastly, we did not contact the late Choi Jin-ri's mother. We do not know her contact information.

I understand that you may be curious about the authenticity of the statements heard at the funeral. However, it is difficult to accept bringing up events from over six years ago 'now' and posting things that did not happen as personal experiences on social media.

We ask that you stop hurting those who passionately participated in the film 'Real' due to reckless speculation.

Additionally, false statements have been carelessly generated using the current situation of Kim Soo-hyun. We sincerely request that you refrain from further speculative remarks. Thank you.
