Kim Sae Ron’s Family Defends Kim Soo Hyun: Calls for Public to Ease Criticism!

On March 27 at 1:30 PM KST, a press conference was held in Seocho-gu, Seoul, where Boo Ji-seok, the family’s legal representative and head attorney at Law Firm Buyu, spoke on behalf of the bereaved family. Despite the ongoing controversy and mounting public interest in the alleged past relationship between Kim Sae-ron and Kim Soo-hyun, the late actress’s family has asked the public to refrain from excessively criticizing the actor, urging for a more respectful and measured response.

At the press conference, Boo Ji-seok revealed KakaoTalk messages from Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron’s underage years, questioning how any parent could remain silent after learning such facts. He also condemned YouTuber Lee Jin-ho, stating that Kim Sae-ron self-harmed multiple times after watching his videos, and announced the family’s intention to file a stalking complaint against him.

Boo also addressed Kim Soo-hyun’s denial of having been in a relationship with Kim Sae-ron while she was a minor, questioning, “With the evidence released, if he still denies having dated her as a minor, then isn’t that considered grooming and a 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual offense? Is there really any need to respond further?”

However, despite the gravity of the allegations, the family made a notable and unexpected request, emphasizing the importance of compassion amid the controversy, “The family has asked not only to stop the excessive criticism against them but also to refrain from harsh and excessive condemnation of Kim Soo-hyun.”

This unexpected appeal suggests that, while the family is committed to uncovering the truth and defending Kim Sae-ron’s dignity, they are equally aware of the dangers of public witch-hunting and trial by media, especially considering their daughter was also a victim of overwhelming online abuse and scrutiny. It reflects a nuanced stance, one that distinguishes between seeking justice and fueling further harm, even toward those accused.
