The conflict between the family of the late Kim Sae-ron and her ex-boyfriend Kim Soo-hyun is intensifying. Meanwhile, the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute (hereafter referred to as Gaseyeon) is suddenly dragging in Won-bin, raising public fatigue.
Previously, Gaseyeon and the family of Kim Sae-ron held a press conference and stated, "Actor Kim Soo-hyun and the late actor Kim Sae-ron have been dating since middle school, and the late Kim Sae-ron first engaged in sexual relations during the winter break of her second year in middle school, and we have a recording to back this up," revealing a voice file they received.
They further claimed, "The side of Actor Kim Soo-hyun attempted to bribe the informant with 4 billion won to turn over the recording, and when the informant refused, they tried to kill the informant through two killers."
In response, attorney Bu Ji-seok noted that the family has filed a complaint against Kim Soo-hyun for violating the Child Welfare Act and for false accusations, stating, "The family confirmed that Kim Soo-hyun engaged in lewd acts and sexual abuse towards the late Kim Sae-ron, who was a minor during her second year of middle school winter break, and proceeded with the complaint for violating the Child Welfare Act."
Suddenly, Won-bin made an appearance. Gaseyeon operator Kim Se-eui mentioned, "The informant's wife expressed her gratitude to Won-bin for providing significant support and encouragement during this incident," and released additional voice messages.
In the message, the woman, who identified herself as the informant's wife, said, "At first, I didn’t know who Won-bin was. I didn’t know he was famous in Korea, but I recognized him after seeing what he did. He came quietly and expressed his respect. His humanity meant more to us than we could ever imagine. We sincerely thank him," shocking listeners.
Won-bin has been on a 15-year acting hiatus since the release of the movie The Man from Nowhere in 2010, apart from advertising activities. Nevertheless, after Kim Sae-ron took her own life in February, he rushed to her funeral and was seen tearing up. Since then, he has been living quietly at home, yet Gaseyeon unexpectedly mentioned him.
In relation to this, a representative from Won-bin's agency Eden Nine stated on the 9th to OSEN, "Outside of attending the funeral to pay respects to the deceased, we have no involvement in this matter."
Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun's legal representative, LKB & Partners, announced on the 9th, "We have filed additional complaints against Gaseyeon operator Kim Se-eui for violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation) and against the family of the late Kim Sae-ron for violating the same act (defamation)."
The side of Kim Soo-hyun emphasized, "Kim Se-eui's statement is a complete lie with not a single grain of truth. Kim Se-eui indiscriminately spread baseless false facts about actor Kim Soo-hyun based on forged recording files and photos downloaded from the internet," and stated that additional complaints and actions have been taken against them.
