Attorney Boo Ji Seok from the law firm Buyou, who is representing the family of the deceased actress Kim Sae Ron, has been reported to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission in Korea.

On April 29th KST, an individual known as Mr. A filed a whistleblower complaint against Attorney Boo, accusing him of serious misconduct related to the ongoing legal case involving Kim Sae Ron's family.

Previously, a complaint was lodged by actor Kim Soo Hyun's agency against Kim Sae Ron's family, a YouTuber, and a person claiming to be Kim's aunt, identified as Ms. B. They were accused of violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, particularly in relation to the distribution of content filmed with cameras.

Mr. A alleged that Attorney Boo played a significant role in the situation, suggesting that he either encouraged the unlawful distribution of private images through incorrect legal advice or was involved in the act as a co-conspirator.

The complaint emphasized that Attorney Boo went beyond offering legal counsel as the family's legal representative. He allegedly promoted the family's claims actively and used his position as a lawyer to present unverified information as verified facts, leading to severe criticism for abusing legal power.

Mr. A also mentioned that Boo presented unconfirmed materials as factual evidence. Through press conferences and other platforms, Attorney Boo made contentious accusations of 'grooming-related sexual assault,' which, according to the complainant, damaged Kim Soo Hyun's reputation and image, potentially resulting in financial loss, threatened lawsuits, and project suspensions.

The dispute arose from claims made by Kim Sae Ron's family indicating that she had a relationship with Kim Soo Hyun while she was a minor, suggesting potential "minor grooming." The family released past messenger conversations between Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun to support their allegations. In a recent press briefing, Attorney Boo stated that Kim Sae Ron was 17 years old at the time and described Kim Soo Hyun as her first love, mentioning that they had been together for five to six years.
