Analyzing Kakaotalk Chats: Controversy Arises from the Conversation between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron in 2016 and 2018
/Article


Kim Soo Hyun's recent emergency press conference stirred up significant discussions on social media and online communities. During the press conference on March 31, Kim Soo Hyun addressed the allegations surrounding his alleged relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor. Denying these accusations, he expressed remorse for causing distress, clarifying that any romantic involvement occurred in 2020, not back in 2016 when Kim Sae Ron was underage.

Making efforts to back up his statements, Kim Soo Hyun presented a scientific analysis of Kakaotalk conversations from 2016 and 2018 between him and Kim Sae Ron. However, there has been skepticism among Korean netizens regarding the credibility of this analysis. Many pointed out that people's speech patterns naturally change over time, especially in romantic relationships, and they questioned the validity of determining different authors based on these messages.

Korean netizens critiqued the so-called "scientific analysis," doubting its reliability in distinguishing between messages sent by different individuals. They mocked the idea of a "Kakaotalk forensic expert" and expressed disbelief in the conclusions drawn from comparing conversations over a span of two years. The lack of concrete evidence to support the claims made in the analysis has led to widespread skepticism and ridicule among online users.
