Actor Kim Soo-hyun has clarified his position regarding the suspicions that arose following the death of Kim Sae-ron, while attention is also focused on the analysis of his chat messages that were verified.
On the 31st, Kim Soo-hyun held a press conference at the Stanford Hotel in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, regarding the suspicions about a romantic relationship with a minor related to the death of Kim Sae-ron. Present at the event was attorney Kim Jong-bok from LK Partners Law Firm, serving as his legal representative.
On that day, Kim Soo-hyun emphasized once again that the allegations from the bereaved family claiming that the late Kim Sae-ron was in a relationship during her minor years were "not true."
He also stated regarding the messages presented by the bereaved family that "there are too many incorrect facts in these messages to say that the deceased wrote them. A photo claimed to be from 2016 was actually from 2019. Furthermore, if it were the deceased, the age difference between us could not be mistaken. The contract period with the agency I was part of for four years could not be mistaken either." He added, "The bereaved family recently also disclosed the chat conversations that I had with the deceased. And on that YouTube channel, they are accusing me of being a pedophile, grooming minors, and framing me with such allegations based on the chat messages from 2016. However, the individuals conversing with the deceased in the 2016 and 2019 chats are different people." He further stated, "To prove this fact, I submitted the chat messages I exchanged with acquaintances in 2016, 2018, and this year to a verification institution that scientifically analyzes statements. The results concluded that the individuals from 2016 and 2018 are not the same person."
According to the materials from the press conference, the organization that analyzed these messages is the Forensic Analysis Center located in Seocho-gu, Seoul, which describes itself on its website as a professional forensic service organization that scientifically assists in establishing justice by objectively and neutrally analyzing the truthfulness of statements.
Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun expressed his frustration, saying, "Every time my agency and I present our position regarding the evidence from the bereaved family, suddenly new recorded testimonies are released. The timeline of the incident is cleverly altered, and images and videos that are edited rather than original are presented as evidence. The false news and fabricated evidence continue under the pretext that I was in a relationship with the deceased." He added, "Just as I went through a verification process regarding the chat messages, I will ensure that every item presented by the bereaved family can be thoroughly verified through law enforcement agencies. If the evidence they possess is indeed true, I request that they submit all materials to the investigative agencies and undergo verification through legal procedures." He also noted that his legal representatives have decided to proceed with criminal complaints and civil lawsuits against those involved to clarify the facts, revealing that they submitted a lawsuit for about 12 billion won in damages against the bereaved family of the late Kim Sae-ron, her aunt, and the operators of the Gaseyeon.
Previously, the bereaved family released evidence by forensically analyzing chat messages that Kim Soo-hyun allegedly exchanged with Kim Sae-ron during her minor years. Forensic analysis refers to the series of tasks involved in collecting, analyzing, and preparing reports on electronic evidence to present to legal authorities.
