The family of actor Kim Sae-ron (late) will hold a press conference.
The legal representative, lawyer Bu Ji-seok from Law Firm Buyou, will hold a press conference at 1:30 p.m. on the 27th at the Space Share Gangnam Station Center in Seocho-dong, Seoul. Lawyer Bu noted, "I will disclose evidence proving that Kim Soo-hyun dated Kim Sae-ron since she was a minor," and added, "I will also address the legal response regarding the indiscriminate spread of false information about the family."
Kim Sae-ron was found dead at her home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on the 16th of last month. Subsequently, the YouTube channel "Garosero Research Institute" cited a conversation with Kim Sae-ron's family on the 10th, claiming that Kim Soo-hyun dated Kim Sae-ron, who was 15 years old at the time, for six years. It also alleged that after Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, paid the 700 million won penalty that Kim Sae-ron owed the production company of the drama "Hunting Dogs," they sent a notice demanding repayment to Kim Sae-ron, stating they would take legal action if payment was not made.
In response, Kim Soo-hyun's side refuted, stating, "Kim Sae-ron and I dated for about a year after she became an adult, and the company processed the penalty fee as a loss after paying it."
Recently, Gaseyeon released a photo of Kim Soo-hyun doing dishes at Kim Sae-ron's home while not wearing pants. Gold Medalist reported, "It caused sexual shame," and filed a complaint against Gaseyeon's operator, Kim Se-ui, and the family member who claimed to be an aunt. There is also a battle over the truth regarding the notice related to the penalty of 700 million won due to the deceased's drunk driving accident. The family has reported YouTuber Lee Jin-ho to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency for defamation. Gold Medalist sent a second notice to pressure the deceased, stating, "Kim Soo-hyun's side is also expected to file a complaint."
