Singer A, the late Sulli's biological brother, criticized actor Kim Soo-hyun's press conference, which lacked a question-and-answer session.
On the 31st, A posted on his social account, "Calling dozens of journalists but having no question-and-answer session, is this really a press conference? Let me be an entertainer too; I'm sure I can do a better job at a press conference than you can."
Earlier, at around 10 p.m. the night before, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, announced the press conference with Kim Soo-hyun's legal representative from the law firm LK Partners starting at 4:30 p.m. on the 31st.
The agency stated, "First, we apologize for the concern caused by recent events. We have arranged this meeting to meet with reporters directly. On this day, our legal representative from the law firm LK Partners will provide Kim Soo-hyun's statement."
However, it added, "We kindly ask for your understanding that there will be no separate question-and-answer session other than the statement." The event will proceed with only the statement from the law firm and Kim Soo-hyun.
Recently, Kim Soo-hyun was embroiled in a grooming crime controversy after allegations surfaced that he had been dating actress late Kim Sae-ron since she was a minor. The late Kim Sae-ron's family claimed through the YouTube channel "Garosero Research Institute" (hereafter referred to as "Gaseyeon") that Kim Sae-ron had dated Kim Soo-hyun for six years, from November 2015, when she was a minor, until July 2021, and stated that the agency pressured the deceased regarding compensation of 700 million won for a drunk driving accident.
In response, the agency clarified that, "Kim Sae-ron and Kim Soo-hyun dated from the summer of 2019 to fall 2020, after Kim Sae-ron became an adult," and regarding the statement of the 700 million won compensation, it explained, "If our company were to arbitrarily bear the penalty that Kim Sae-ron should incur, there is a possibility that our executives could be charged with breach of trust, and we were concerned that the expense would not be recognized as a deductible expense by the company. It was necessary to confirm the efforts made to secure our claims against Kim Sae-ron."
In the meantime, A, the late Sulli's biological brother, posted a series of significant criticisms directed at Kim Soo-hyun starting on the 21st, and on the 28th, he demanded statements from Kim Soo-hyun and director Lee Sang about allegations concerning the late Sulli's appearance in the movie "Real." Among the allegations were: ★ The script did not specify a bed scene with Kim Soo-hyun; ★ There was a body double for the nude scene, but instead of using the double, they pressured Sulli to do the bed and nude scenes; ★ It was claimed that the body double did not show up on the day of the bed and nude scenes, but witnesses stated that the body double was present.
