As the press conference wraps up, the industry is left with lingering questions. Will Kim Sae-ron’s family respond? How will the public react to Kim Soo-hyun’s emotional confession and firm denials?
For now, the actor remains under intense scrutiny. However, with legal proceedings now underway, it seems the battle for the truth has only just begun.
Stay tuned for further updates.
Following his statement, Kim Soo-hyun’s legal team announced they had officially filed defamation lawsuits against Kim Sae-ron’s family, an alleged aunt, and the operators of the YouTube channel that first publicized the claims.
Lawyer Kim Jong-bok stated:
"We have filed complaints against multiple parties for defamation and dissemination of false information. We urge the family to submit their evidence for verification through legal channels."
One of the most debated points in the case has been the alleged KakaoTalk messages from 2016, which appeared to suggest inappropriate exchanges between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron.
Today, the actor’s legal team provided forensic analysis, claiming that the messages had been manipulated. They alleged that the person in the 2016 texts and the one in 2018 were not the same individual.
"The photos and messages being circulated have been selectively edited and taken out of context. We will be taking legal action to verify all evidence."
In an emotional moment, Kim Soo-hyun reflected on his silence over the past few weeks, admitting he was afraid of how his words would affect those around him. He confessed to prioritizing his career over personal truths, particularly when Queen of Tears was airing, but insisted that the claims made by Kim Sae-ron’s family were false.
"Whenever the choices of ‘human Kim Soo-hyun’ and ‘star Kim Soo-hyun’ diverged, I always chose the latter. I now understand the criticisms that I was cowardly or selfish."
After weeks of speculation, Queen of Tears star Kim Soo-hyun finally addressed the allegations surrounding his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. At a press conference held earlier today, he denied accusations that he pressured her over a debt or that their relationship was inappropriate when she was a minor.
Appearing alongside his lawyer, Kim Jong-bok, the actor stated:
"I apologize. I know so many people have been hurt because of me. But I must clarify—I did not date Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor."
