The late Sulli's brother is showing a sudden change in attitude towards Kim Soo-hyun’s position, leading to a decrease in trust, and netizens are reacting that it is difficult to believe the late Sulli's brother's words.
The late Sulli's brother, Mr. A, previously stated that when the late Sulli granted the film 'Real,' ▲ the script did not specify a bed scene with Kim Soo-hyun, ▲ there was a body double on set for the nude scene, but instead of using a body double, he persuaded Sulli to perform the bed scene and nude scene, ▲ and on the day of filming the bed scene and nude scene, he claimed the body double was sick and could not attend, but attendees testified that the body double was present, and he demanded a statement from lead actor Kim Soo-hyun and director Lee Sarang of 'Real' concerning these points.
In response, Kim Soo-hyun's side refuted Mr. A's position. The agency of Kim Soo-hyun, Gold Medalist, led by director Lee Sarang of 'Real,' stated on the 2nd, "Regarding the filming of the bed scene: The late Choi Jin-ri was well aware of the scene beforehand and proceeded to film. Regarding the body double: There was a 'standing actor' who did not perform but replaced the actor’s movements during the preparation stage, not a body double. "
Furthermore, they emphasized, "We are attaching fact-check statements from assistant director Kim Jung-ok and script supervisor Lee Jun-hyun who worked on the film 'Real,' including the bed scene. The screenplay and storyboard work, and filming fall within the realm of the production team, and Kim Soo-hyun, who participated as an actor in the project, has no relation. We have not contacted the late Choi Jin-ri’s mother. We do not even know her contact information."
Mr. A remarked, "I have read the statement posted by Gold Medalist well. You claim it was a standing actor, not a body double. I suggested allegations of coercion, but according to several testimonies, there was no coercion... I realized this several days before you posted this statement. I think you proceeded according to the storyboard."
Mr. A exhibited an attitude of acknowledgment without disputing Kim Soo-hyun's position. This was in stark contrast to previous remarks targeting Kim Soo-hyun and strongly demanding a statement regarding the nude scene in 'Real.' His ambiguous stance lowered his trustworthiness.
Moreover, Mr. A requested transparency concerning director Lee Jung-seob's departure. He stated, "If there were no issues related to the film at the time of shooting, I ask for a transparent disclosure regarding the sudden departure of director Lee Jung-seob. Based on what I heard, about 80% of filming was already completed when director Lee Jung-seob was in charge of 'Real,' and leaving after shooting that much does not make sense to me. If there are any errors in this statement, I would like to know what those errors are."
Mr. A is undermining his own credibility by mentioning the real names of celebrities and then deleting them. On the 2nd, after Kim Soo-hyun held a press conference regarding suspicions of underage relationships with the late Kim Sae-ron, during a live broadcast, he mentioned that the late Sulli had a relationship with Block B member and actor P.O. for about a year. P.O. became embroiled in late dating rumors with Sulli, and the agency’s response was, 'unable to confirm.'
Mr. A continued to mention the real names of celebrities. On that day, he mentioned the names of IU, the late Goo Hara, the late Kim Sae-ron, Han Ji-eun, Suzy, and Ahn So-hee on his social media. Especially regarding IU, he wrote, "IU’s friendship with Kim Soo-hyun and that after rejecting the initial proposal for the leading female role in 'Real,' she tossed the script to Sulli," along with claiming that Sulli was introduced to a psychiatric doctor by IU.
Meanwhile, he noted, "The late Sulli's former manager stated that there was a body double on set (fact). Although filming proceeded according to the storyboard, if I had known it would be edited to this extent after its release, wouldn't it have been alright to use a body double?" He conveyed doubts about the situation at that time, adding that Sulli was physically and mentally in a difficult situation, and "there was likely enough persuasion (gaslighting) regarding the nude scene." This post has since been deleted.
