Actor Kim Soo-hyun will reveal his stance in public about the allegations that he was dating the late actress Kim Sae-ron, who was a minor at the time, more than 20 days after the issue surfaced.
The agency Gold Medalist announced the day before that it would hold a press conference at Stanford Hotel in Mapo-gu, Seoul, at 4:30 p.m. on the 31st, with Kim Soo-hyun and a legal representative from the agency in attendance.
Gold Medalist said, "We sincerely apologize for causing concern due to recent events," and added, "Today, a statement will be made regarding Kim Soo-hyun by the law firm LK Partner & Partners." However, they noted that there will be no separate Q&A session following the statement.
This is the first time Kim Soo-hyun has spoken directly since rumors of his relationship with Kim Sae-ron arose on the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute on the 10th.
The agency had previously filed a complaint against the operators of Gaseyeon for violations of special laws regarding the punishment of sexual violence crimes (such as distributing filmed materials using a camera) and for intimidation.
However, the revelations from Gaseyeon and the family of Kim Sae-ron have not stopped, and with the recent disclosure of direct messages between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron during her lifetime, it seems that he has decided to arrange a space to clarify his position.
