As of March 26, the family of the late actress Kim Sae Ron has announced that they will hold a press conference on March 27 to reveal evidence supporting claims that actor Kim Soo Hyun had a relationship with Kim Sae Ron when she was still a minor.

Attorney Bae Ji Seok, a representative of the law firm Buyou, stated on March 26, “We will hold a press conference to disclose evidence proving that Kim Soo Hyun was in a relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron while she was underage and to address the recent spread of indiscriminate false information about the bereaved family, including plans for legal action.”

The press conference is scheduled for 1:30 PM KST on March 27 in Seocho-gu, Seoul.

Previously, late Kim Sae Ron’s family appeared on the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute (HoverLab) and claimed that Kim Sae Ron had been in a relationship with Kim Soo Hyun for six years, starting when she was a minor. They also criticized her agency for mishandling her DUI incident. During the broadcast, Garosero Research Institute revealed a photo allegedly showing Kim Soo Hyun at Kim Sae Ron’s home wearing only a T-shirt and underwear while doing the dishes.

Although Kim Soo Hyun's side initially denied the accusations, calling them false, on March 14 his agency changed their stance and released a new statement: “Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020, after Kim Sae Ron had reached adulthood. The claim that Kim Soo Hyun dated her when she was a minor is not true.”

Despite this clarification, the controversy continues to intensify.

In response, Kim Soo Hyun’s legal team has filed criminal complaints against Garosero Research Institute and members of late Kim Sae Ron’s family, citing violations of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, including charges related to illegal filming and distribution.
