On March 31, Kim Soo Hyun held his emergency press conference, which has taken center stage across various platforms online. During his press meeting, the actor denied all allegations that he dated the late Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor. Kim Soo Hyun tearfully claimed that he had dated Kim Sae Ron in 2019, when she was an adult.

In response, Hoverlab (Garo Sero Research Institute) released additional videos of Kim Soo Hyun dating Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor. Hoverlab also disclosed the metadata for a video Kim Soo Hyun sent to Kim Sae Ron. 

In the video, Kim Soo Hyun is seen singing "Only You, My Love," and the metadata shows it was recorded on June 21, 2018. Kim Sae Ron was born on July 31, 2000, which would make her only 17 at the time the video was sent.

Following Hoverlab's disclosure of the metadata, Korean netizens' disgust toward Kim Soo Hyun continues to grow. Many are accusing him of being heartless and audacious for filing a lawsuit against the family despite the mounting evidence proving that he had dated Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor.

Korean netizens commented:

"There's tons of evidence... but a 12 billion lawsuit? Is he serious?"

"There are millions of pieces of evidence showing they were dating when she was a minor."

"Sigh..."

"He ate spicy braised chicken with her and sang songs to her. He was doing all sorts of things with a minor, drinking and sleeping with her. What else would they be doing during that time?"

"Kim Soo Hyun is digging his own grave. He could've just denied that he had ever dated her. His saying that they started dating when she was an adult only sounds like he 'groomed' her when she was young."

"He was eating braised chicken and singing with him at 12 AM. How can he say they were just acquaintances when she was a minor?"

"He's lying through his teeth."

"His lie was revealed in just a few hours."

"It was when he came out during his break from mandatory military service."

"He was at a Karaoke at 1 AM with a minor. What is he doing?"

"There are too many pieces of evidence against you Mr. Star Kim."

"You need to refute all the evidence that's been released or prove that you dated her when she was an adult. But you're not doing any of that."

"Why is he keep lying?"

"Why did you put on such a show, crying and stuff, when there's so much evidence against you?"

"Disgusting."

"Minors aren't even allowed at Karaoke after midnight."

"He should know what is in late Sae Ron's phone. Where is he getting the guts to lie?"

"Wow, he still doesn't admit it even though there's so much evidence."
