The family of the late actress Kim Saeron has released a commemorative video using AI technology.
On the 14th, Kwon Young-chan, the head of the Korean Celebrity Suicide Prevention Association, uploaded a video titled 'AI video created by Kim Saeron's family in memory of her' on their YouTube channel. The description of the video states that it was provided by Kim Saeron's family.
In the video, the AI version of Kim Saeron expressed gratitude to everyone who loved and supported her, saying that the time spent with everyone was filled with precious memories.
She also addressed her fans, acknowledging that she may have had shortcomings and disappointments but expressed sincere gratitude to her fans for believing in her and waiting for her despite the ups and downs of her acting career.
Additionally, she left messages for her friends and family, thanking them for creating cherished memories together and providing support and warmth. She requested to be remembered in a positive and warm light.
On the other hand, Kim Saeron's family plans to sue YouTuber Lee Jin-ho for defamation based on false information on the 17th. According to Kim Saeron's family's legal representative, Lee Jin-ho allegedly included false information in several videos related to Kim Saeron since 2022.
The lawyer clarified that the issue of whether Kim Saeron and Kim Soo-hyun dated when they were minors is currently in dispute, but their relationship itself is true. Allegations claiming they dated during Kim Saeron's minor years are considered false information.
Kim Saeron was found dead in her home in Seoul on the 16th of last month. The YouTube channel 'Garosero Research Institute' (Gaseyeon) caused controversy when it cited a conversation with the family claiming that actor Kim Soo-hyun had been in a six-year relationship with Kim Saeron since she was 15 years old in 2015.
Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, initially denied the relationship with the deceased, but later clarified that they were indeed in a relationship as reported on the 14th, but emphasized that it didn't start when she was a minor. They also refuted claims that Kim Soo-hyun lent money to Kim Saeron or asked for repayment.
