The late Sulli's older brother has once again posted a cryptic message.
On April 1, the older brother of the late Sulli shared a profile labeled “Jinri’s former manager.” It appears to belong to someone who worked with Sulli during her lifetime. He added a cryptic comment, saying, “It seems like there’s a lot to sort out.”
Recently, Kim Soo Hyun held a press conference addressing the controversy over his alleged underage relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron. With tears, he stated, “I did not date her when she was a minor,” and emphasized, “I cannot say I did something I didn’t do.” In response, Sulli’s brother previously wrote, “Not doing something is not doing something” vs. “Doing something wrong is doing something wrong.”
Right after Kim Soo Hyun’s press conference, Sulli's brother commented, “I expected him not to admit it. Nothing surprising. I watched with a blank expression. There’s no need to curse at him, and I’m not shocked. I don’t know if Kim Soo Hyun’s tears were acting or real. I keep wondering why he refuses to admit it. It seems like a calculated move. He says he’s afraid of losing things because he has a lot, but I don’t understand what exactly he feels wronged about.”
Regarding the press conference format, which did not include a Q&A session, he questioned, “It doesn’t seem like he’s that upset. Will there be a second press conference? Is this the end?” He also criticized the 12-billion-KRW (approx. 8 million USD) lawsuit against Kim Sae Ron’s bereaved family and the operators of ‘Hoverlab (Garo Sero Research Institute),’ saying, “Is 120 billion KRW the final goal? He doesn’t seem sorry to the deceased (Kim Sae Ron) at all.”
Sulli's older brother further commented, “A celebrity of Kim Soo Hyun’s status has a lot to lose. In that case, he should apologize where necessary to protect his position. I feel like he’s denying it out of greed.” He added that the current situation Kim Soo Hyun is facing is “his own karma.”
He continued, “If he had just apologized, it wouldn’t have escalated to this point. He should’ve admitted it was wrong to date a minor, apologized, and ended it there. But he insisted otherwise, which is why even internal company matters are now being exposed. I don’t want to discuss what’s right or wrong—no one is completely clean.”
Regarding the controversy over Sulli being pressured into a bed scene in 'Real,' he revealed, “My sister was relieved to hear that a body double would be used for the nude scene. She was very worried about 'Real,' but she once expressed relief knowing there was a double. However, they changed their stance later. I watched 'Real' myself. The most definitive truth should come from Kim Soo Hyun’s own mouth.” He also dismissed Kim Soo Hyun’s press conference as “completely useless” and lamented, “Watching what he’s doing is frustrating.”
Meanwhile, Kim Soo Hyun recently became embroiled in the latest controversy after the YouTube channel Hovelrab alleged that he dated Kim Sae Ron when she was underage. Amid this, Sulli’s family claimed that Kim Soo Hyun pressured Sulli into doing a nude scene in the 2017 film 'Real,' reigniting the controversy over the film.
