"Truth Will Soon Be Revealed by Investigation"... Late Kim Saeron's Family Releases Additional Evidence of Relationship as a Minor

Additional Evidence Released: Memos, Messages, and Letters Suggesting a Relationship
Kim Soohyun’s Side: "Materials Unrelated to the Actor... Investigation Results to Be Announced Soon"

The family of the late actress Kim Saeron, who passed away in February, has released additional evidence claiming that she was in a relationship with actor Kim Soohyun when she was a minor. However, Kim Soohyun’s side has refuted the claim, stating that the materials do not prove the existence of a relationship.

Actor Kim Soohyun is making a statement regarding the recent personal life controversy on March 31 at the Stanford Hotel in Mapo-gu, Seoul.

On the 26th, the late actress’s mother, through attorney Bu Jiseok of Buyu Law Firm, stated, "Kim Saeron was in a relationship with Kim Soohyun when she was a minor," adding, "We are releasing a portion of the materials we possess today."

The evidence disclosed by the mother includes two recorded statements from acquaintances of the deceased, one memo, KakaoTalk messages, photographs, and letters written by Kim Saeron.

The mother said, "Kim Soohyun’s side has so far claimed that all of our evidence has been fabricated and asserted that Kim Soohyun never dated Kim Saeron when she was a minor. Whether the evidence has been fabricated or not, and whose claims are true, will soon be revealed through the results of the investigation by the authorities."

Kim Soohyun’s Side Refutes: "Materials Unrelated to Kim Soohyun"

Kim Soohyun’s side acknowledged that he dated Kim Saeron, but maintained that their romantic relationship began after Kim Saeron became an adult. According to Kim Soohyun’s side, the relationship lasted from 2019 to 2020.

Kim Soohyun’s legal representative, attorney Ko Sangrok of Phil Law Firm, argued that the new evidence does not substantiate the relationship. In a phone interview with Yonhap News Agency, attorney Ko stated, "These are materials that have already been submitted to the investigative authorities and reviewed by us. They are either unrelated to Kim Soohyun or were written solely by the deceased." He further claimed, "The materials have no evidentiary value, and upon closer examination, even the forensic (digital evidence extraction) information differs." He added that the results of the police investigation would be released soon.
