After retiring from the entertainment industry following her marriage, singer Kim So-hee strongly denied rumors about her being a hostess.
On the 30th, Kim So-hee stated on her social media account, "Recently, I experienced uncomfortable situations due to outrageous falsehoods, and I have proceeded with a lawsuit. The case is currently transferred to the investigative agency."
Kim So-hee stated, "From my trainee days until my debut in 2017 and subsequent retirement, I have never once acted in a disgraceful manner in the entertainment industry for 10 years. I have always kept my head up, silently doing my best in my position, taking pride in my work, and believe that I have acted responsibly just as much." She added, "Thereafter, I met my current husband at the birthday party of a colleague I filmed with, which naturally led to our marriage, and now I am spending the most stable and happiest time of my life."
She further elaborated, "In the meantime, I received reports that false posts about me had been posted on accounts spreading rumors about individuals with a large following, such as celebrities or influencers. Initially, I did not take it too seriously and just issued a warning." She stated, "However, the perpetrator began to cross the line. It started with ridiculous stories that I met my husband while working at a bar, along with fabricated screenshots of conversations claiming, 'I saw So-hee' or 'I worked somewhere,' and they even included threats mentioning family members."
Kim So-hee stated, "I believe that disturbing someone's life with falsehoods is not something to be taken lightly. Because it was not true, I could have initially taken it lightly, but I realized that silence instead leads to such rumors being accepted as truth in this world."
Meanwhile, Kim So-hee announced her marriage to a businessman 15 years her senior and her retirement from the entertainment industry through a handwritten letter last April.
The following is a statement from Kim So-hee
Recently, I experienced uncomfortable situations due to outrageous falsehoods, and I have proceeded with a lawsuit. The case is currently transferred to the investigative agency.
From my trainee days until my debut in 2017 and subsequent retirement, I have never once acted in a disgraceful manner in the entertainment industry for 10 years. I have always kept my head up, silently doing my best in my position, taking pride in my work, and believe that I have acted responsibly just as much.
Thereafter, I met my current husband at the birthday party of a colleague I filmed with, which naturally led to our marriage, and now I am spending the most stable and happiest time of my life.
In the meantime, I received reports that false posts about me had been posted on accounts spreading rumors about individuals with a large following, such as celebrities or influencers. Initially, I did not take it too seriously and just issued a warning.
However, the perpetrator began to cross the line. It started with ridiculous stories that I met my husband while working at a bar, along with fabricated screenshots of conversations claiming, 'I saw So-hee' or 'I worked somewhere,' and they even included threats mentioning family members.
I have worked diligently in the entertainment industry and done my best in my position, so it has been quite difficult for me to see my sincerity and reputation, which I have maintained for such a long time, being distorted and doubted.
Fortunately, those who were harmed by the perpetrator bravely provided reports, and thanks to them, the case was quickly transferred to the investigative agency.
I believe that disturbing someone's life with falsehoods is not something to be taken lightly. Because it was not true, I could have initially taken it lightly, but I realized that silence instead leads to such rumors being accepted as truth in this world.
Therefore, I have come to convey my position directly in this manner.
This matter will be pursued to the end without leniency, and it is to ensure that such incidents do not occur again.
And I sincerely thank you for continuing to support me, showing interest in my current situation even after my retirement. I will try my best to share updates with you often!
