Kkim Su-hyun Kkokkomu controversy, the core issue is not a "two-timing" theory but "evidence fabrication"
Amid ongoing allegations by the bereaved family of the late Kim Sae-ron that actor Kkim Su-hyun had a relationship with a minor, Kkim Su-hyun's side again released evidence and mounted a direct rebuttal. However, as the controversy spread and mentions of an "actual girlfriend during military service" emerged, some raised a "two-timing" theory, and critics say the essence of the case is being blurred.
On the 2nd, Kkim Su-hyun's legal representative, attorney Ko Sang-rok, said on his YouTube channel that "the core of this matter is not whether the actor and the deceased had a relationship, but that the bereaved family 'fabricated evidence.'" He said, "The essence of this case is making photos from after reaching adulthood look like proof of a relationship during minority," and explained that the photos and letters that were actually released are all from 2019 or later, when the person was an adult.
He also emphasized that the letter written during Kkim Su-hyun's military service was "only a diary-style record sent to a lover, not evidence of a romantic relationship with the deceased." He pointed out that Kkim Su-hyun left dozens of letters and currency communications for another lover he was dating at the time, and drew a line by saying, "He only interacted with the deceased as a fellow actor."
But when the existence of a third person was mentioned in this process, speculative comments online saying "isn't this a two-timing relationship?" spread. In response, legal circles and some internet users warned that it was "indiscriminate curiosity that clouds the issue." In fact, Attorney Ko also stressed, "I am not even revealing the real name of the military-era lover. The private life area should be respected."
Kkim Su-hyun's side has currently filed a criminal complaint for defamation against the bereaved family of the late Kim Sae-ron and a damages lawsuit seeking about 12 billion won. Kkim Su-hyun's position is that the legal dispute over the controversy should focus not on whether there was a relationship while the person was a minor but on whether the submitted evidence is false or fabricated.
Experts warned that "until the facts are clearly revealed, attention should be on the 'credibility of the evidence' rather than gossipy controversies like a two-timing theory," and that speculation that clouds the essence could cause secondary harm.
This matter includes a serious legal issue of "evidence fabrication," beyond Kkim Su-hyun's personal private life. The public and the media also appear to need to carefully consider where to place the weight of focus.
