On May 7, 2025, a press conference held in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, by Kim Sae Ron’s family’s legal representatives, Bu Ji Seok and Kim Se Ui, revealed new and shocking details about the ongoing case involving Kim Soo Hyun. The family made serious allegations against the actor, claiming that he was responsible for pushing Kim Sae Ron into a tragic situation that led to her death. These allegations have added further complexity to an already intense case.
One of the most startling revelations made during the conference was the filing of a criminal complaint against Kim Soo Hyun. The late actress’s family has accused him of violating the Child Welfare Act by allegedly committing acts of abuse when Kim Sae Ron was in middle school. They also claim that Kim Soo Hyun made false accusations against her, adding to the gravity of the case.
In addition to the legal claims, a recording of Kim Sae Ron was played during the press conference. The audio revealed a conversation in which she discussed her relationship with Kim Soo Hyun. According to the recording, Kim Sae Ron confirmed that she had dated Kim Soo Hyun from middle school through her university years and that he had shared photos of himself with an idol. This revelation added a new layer to the already complicated story.
The press conference took a darker turn when Garo Sero, a YouTuber, revealed that the informant who had leaked Kim Sae Ron’s recordings had been attacked. The informant, who had provided evidence of Kim Soo Hyun’s alleged actions, was reportedly stabbed. This news further raised questions about the lengths to which certain individuals might go to protect or silence information related to the case.
Further complicating the situation, YouTuber Lee Jin Ho suggested that the informant who provided the recordings might have been trying to extort money from both Kim Soo Hyun’s representatives and Garo Sero. Lee Jin Ho cast doubt on the legitimacy of the evidence presented, claiming that the photos used as proof of assault could easily be found online, suggesting the possibility of a scam.
In a rebuttal, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, GOLD MEDALIST, vehemently denied all the accusations made during the press conference. They called the audio recordings fraudulent, claiming they were likely AI-generated. The agency also sided with Lee Jin Ho’s claims, stating that the informant was attempting to extort money. Additionally, the agency rejected accusations of any involvement in attacking the informant, asserting that the circulated image had been taken from the internet and was not part of their official actions.
As the situation continued to develop, GOLD MEDALIST announced their intention to pursue legal action against those responsible for spreading false information. They plan to address the issue through cybercrime and stalking laws, signaling that they will not tolerate any form of defamation or misinformation related to the actor.
The events surrounding Kim Sae Ron’s death and the subsequent revelations about Kim Soo Hyun have sparked a wave of support and controversy. While Kim Soo Hyun’s supporters, including his Chinese fanbase, have rallied behind him, the case remains complex and unresolved. As more details continue to emerge, the situation is far from reaching a conclusion, and the legal battles between the two parties are expected to escalate further in the coming months.
