Following a flurry of reports and misinformation, Kim Sae Ron’s legal representative organised a press conference. The legal team criticised Kim Soo Hyun for initially denying being in a relationship with the late actress and then claiming that she was an adult. The late actress’ team maintains that Kim Soo Hyun was dating Sae Ron when she was 15 and he was 27. To support their claims, they even released the chats between the two dating back to 2016. Additionally, the legal team also bashed YouTuber Lee Jin Ho who has been releasing details of her private life and spreading information. Meanwhile, amid this Sae Ron’s close friend states that Soo Hyun cheated on her with multiple women.

Kim Sae Ron’s legal team lashes at Kim Soo Hyun

During the conference, Sae Ron’s team stated, “This is Bu Ji Seok, representative attorney of the law firm BUYOU, acting as the legal representative for the bereaved family of the late Kim Sae Ron. As the family is currently experiencing severe anxiety and is unable to appear in public, I am here to convey their position on their behalf.”

The legal representation bashed Kim Soo Hyun for his stance on his past relationship with the late actress. “The reason the family initially had no choice but to disclose the fact that Kim Soo Hyun had been in a relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor was to file a lawsuit against YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, who circulated false information, belittled, and mocked the late Kim Sae Ron, ultimately driving her to her death.

However, what the family received in return was Kim Soo Hyun lying that he had never been in a relationship with her. Even after evidence proving their relationship was revealed, he did not offer a single word of apology. Instead, he is now lying again, stating that their relationship only began after she became an adult. Additionally, for reasons unknown, YouTuber Lee Jin Ho and other individuals involved in the case have been recklessly exposing the private life of the late Kim Sae Ron and spreading false information about her.”

Text Exchanges between the two

To strengthen their claims, the legal representative revealed text exchanges between Soo Hyun and Sae Ron. These messages date back to 2016. In the exchanges, Soo Hyun asked the actress when can he hold her, and kiss her.

An exchange between them from June 25, 2016:
“Sae Ron: I’m filming again ㅜㅜ
Sae Ron: I’ll finish and come back soon…..
Soo Hyun: Come back [safely] haha ♥︎
Sae Ron: ♥︎Chu
Soo Hyun: Do it for real later… haha
Soo Hyun: Is this also forbidden?… ㅜㅜ
Sae Ron: No, it’s not forbidden ha
(sticker)
Sae Ron: I’ll do it for you
Soo Hyun: yay ha.”

Kim soohyun should never show his face in public again,
