The legal representative of the deceased actress Kim Sae Ron's family has revealed that several friends of Kim Sae Ron were aware of her previous relationship with actor Kim Soo Hyun. As reported on the April 1st broadcast of TV Chosun's 'Case File 24', the family's attorney expressed disappointment over Kim Soo Hyun's public apology, which did not extend to the grieving family.

The family's lawyer stated that at least eight of Kim Sae Ron's close friends knew about her long-standing relationship with Kim Soo Hyun that started when she was a teenager. The lawyer noted that some of these friends were contemplating making a public statement following Kim Soo Hyun's press conference, where they felt frustrated with his denial of the relationship.

The attorney further commented that it would have been more acceptable if Kim Soo Hyun had acknowledged his teenage feelings for Kim Sae Ron and clarified that their formal relationship only commenced after she reached the legal age. However, they are puzzled by his complete denial of the situation.

Furthermore, Kim Soo Hyun's agency is facing financial difficulties and has terminated cleaning services in response to the crisis.
