On May 9, the media reported that Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, has taken legal actions against Kim Se Eui and the family of the late actress Kim Sae Ron. The charges include defamation and stalking, accusing the parties of spreading false information. Kim Se Eui claimed in a press conference that Kim Soo Hyun had a relationship with Kim Sae Ron since middle school, alleging a sexual encounter and the existence of incriminating audio recordings. The agency refuted all allegations as fabricated lies, dismissing claims of murder plots and FBI involvement as sensationalized fabrications. They also denied accusations of harassment by their legal representatives and vowed to pursue legal action against the parties responsible. Additionally, Kim Se Eui and Boo Ji Seok, the legal representative of Kim Sae Ron’s family, presented an audio recording implying a conspiracy involving individuals close to Kim Soo Hyun, which the agency strongly refuted.
