Sulli's family has expressed concerns over the controversial nude scenes in the movie 'Real' and discussed Kim Soo Hyun's recent press conference. In an interview with TV Report on March 31, they mentioned that the press conference was expected and admitted to watching it without much emotion.
They clarified their decision to speak out regarding 'Real,' citing media attention on the situation involving the late Kim Sae Ron, which resonated with their own experiences and caused stress. Their intention was to provide some support to Kim Sae Ron's family and express their frustrations.
The family raised three main concerns about 'Real.' They pointed out that the script lacked detail and mentioned a stand-in was supposed to be used for the nude scenes, but ended up being on set despite reporting illness. They questioned why the scene wasn't filmed as planned with the stand-in.
Regarding claims that Sulli self-harmed due to stress after filming 'Real,' the family acknowledged the wave of malicious comments Sulli faced after the movie and speculated on personal struggles she might have been dealing with.
The family emphasized the importance of Director Lee Jeong Seob addressing the issues surrounding 'Real,' noting that silence from Gold Medalist, the production company, would only worsen the situation. They also reiterated their lack of surprise at Kim Soo Hyun's press conference, viewing it as predictable.
'Real' featured Kim Soo Hyun and Sulli, with director Lee Jeong Seob being replaced during post-production. The production company cited creative differences for the switch and confirmed ongoing post-production work.
Despite high expectations, 'Real' received low ratings and negative reviews, particularly for its explicit scenes involving Sulli. Sulli had mentioned the challenges she faced during filming, including nude scenes, while Kim Soo Hyun expressed gratitude for her performance.
Director Lee Jeong Seob recently addressed the directorial switch in 'Real' on social media, denying responsibility for the film's outcome. He expressed relief that the film was finally released and concluded with gratitude for the experience.
Kim Soo Hyun faced criticism over allegations of dating Kim Sae Ron when she was underage. At his press conference, he tearfully stated that the relationship started when she was of legal age and filed a defamation lawsuit against Kim Sae Ron's family.
