Attorney Boo Ji Suk from Buyou Law Firm held a press conference at Space Share in Gangnam Station, Seoul, representing Kim Sae Ron's family on March 27 around 1:30 PM KST. The attorney addressed concerns about the late actress's private life being exposed online regularly, leading to criticism towards her family. The family is facing significant emotional and physical distress due to this situation.
The purpose of the press conference was to shed light on the challenges faced by the bereaved family and to urge an end to the unjust criticism directed at them. The family clarified that the conference was not meant to reveal the reasons behind Kim Sae Ron's passing.
The family decided to disclose that Kim Soo Hyun had a relationship with Kim Sae Ron from when she was a minor to contest falsehoods spread by YouTuber Lee Jin Ho. Kim Soo Hyun denied the relationship initially, even when evidence supporting it emerged, without apologizing. The family aims to resolve the issue by presenting conclusive evidence and pursue legal action against Lee Jin Ho for spreading misinformation.
Additionally, the attorney revealed KakaoTalk messages exchanged between Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun in June 2016. The messages indicated a romantic relationship between the two when Kim Sae Ron was underage.
Moreover, a letter penned by Kim Sae Ron to Kim Soo Hyun before her death was shared during the press conference. The letter expressed Kim Sae Ron's concerns about their relationship, hoping to clear up misunderstandings and maintain a friendship.
Furthermore, representatives from HOVERLAB, present at the conference, hinted at unveiling more photo and video proof during a live broadcast at 7 PM KST.
