[Summary of emergency press conference] Actor Kim Soohyeon, crying at press conference: ”Evidence from the family of the late Kim Sae Ron is 'fabricated'”...Strongly denies having dated when they were underage

Actor Kim Soohyeon has said that the evidence submitted by the family of the deceased was fabricated and has accepted a lawsuit for 12 billion won (approximately 1.2 billion yen) in damages.
Actor Kim Soohyeon held a press conference at the Stanford Hotel in Seoul on the afternoon of the 31st. KB&Partners, a law firm, and Kim Soohyeon were in attendance.
On the same day, Kim Soohyeon responded to the privacy issue caused by the family of the late Kim Sae Ron by saying, "First of all, I'm sorry. Too many people have suffered because of me.
"I feel deeply sorry for the deceased (the late Kim Sae Ron) and for the fact that she is unable to rest in peace," he said.
It seems that I was always busy trying to protect what I had. I couldn't even believe the kindness that was coming to me, and I was always running away and denying it, afraid of what I might lose or be harmed.
"It took me a long time to get to this point. But I wondered what would have happened if I had told you everything right from the beginning. If that had happened, I would have been grateful if you would have loved me.
I hope that the fans who have been there for me and my family at work who have worked so hard that it is hard to put into words until this press conference came along have not all been as distressed as I am."
First, Kim Soo-hyeon said about her relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron, "We dated for about a year four years before 'Queen of Tears' aired.
"I denied the fact that we were dating," she said, "It is natural that people criticize my decision." At the time, she denied the fact that we were dating in order to protect the "Queen of Tears."
"I was worried that because I am 'Star Kim Soo-hyeon,' all the things I chose to protect would come back to haunt me. However, during the broadcast of 'Queen of Tears,'
"Even if I could go back in time, I would make that choice again. I have no choice," he said. He added, "If people criticize my decision as cowardly or selfish, I'm open to criticism."
Kim Soo-hyeon added, "To manage the risk, show that you are willing to take it in. If you do that, people will lose interest and you will have to prepare for a comeback later."
If I had listened carefully, my private life and that of the deceased would not have been so exposed, and I would not have had to endure the threat of blowing something up.
"My private life would not have been humiliated by the leak of photos," she said. However, Kim Soohyeon claims that all the allegations made by the family of the late Kim Sae Ron are lies.
He said, "I couldn't accept that she would admit the lies while threatening me," and added, "I didn't date her when she was a minor.
It is also not true that the agency made this tragic decision to pressure the late Kim Sae Ron into paying off her debts."
When the accident occurred, I was not able to contact him easily. On a YouTube channel representing the family of the deceased, the CEO of the last office he belonged to said, "The deceased suffered because of me at the time of the drunk driving incident.
"I heard her say that she had been in a relationship with someone else at the time. However, at the time, the deceased was in a relationship with someone else," he explained, "I was careful about how I should contact the deceased in that situation."
Kim Soohyeon said, "The family of the deceased claims that I drove the deceased to his death because I was his former partner. They are forcing me to confess to something I did not do."
Kim Soohyeon's side said that the claims made by the family of the late Kim Sae Ron and the YouTube channel "Carocero Institute" were all fabricated, and that the former president of Gold Medalist and the late
The CEO of the office where the deceased was last affiliated released the transcript of the phone call. He said, "Our management office sent a second certified letter to the deceased, and it sounded like they were pressuring the deceased for debts. However, at the time
"In the phone call, they said something completely different," he explained. According to the publicly released recording of the call, the former president of Gold Medalist said, "There will be a certified copy of the contents. Don't be surprised. There will be administrative proceedings.
I sent this because I had not received a response from them. I would like them to give a rough time frame and reply that they intend to repay within that time frame."
He also commented on the conversations that the late Kim Sae Ron sent while she was alive, saying, "This was written by the deceased.
There are too many facts that are incorrect to be true. The photo from 2016 is actually from 2019. Also, if he is deceased, there is no way he would mistake the age difference between us.
"There's no way I could have gotten the names and contract periods all wrong," he said. He also added that the deceased had never been involved in casting new talent or directing the visuals for Gold Medalist.
Regarding the content of the conversation that raised the allegations of grooming minors, he said, "They used a statement I made in 2016 on KakaoTalk as evidence to frame me as a pedophile and grooming minors.
However, the people who spoke to the deceased in KakaoTalk in 2016 and KakaoTalk in 2018 were different people."
After submitting the information to a verification agency, they received a response that the person in 2016 and 2018 was not the same person. Kim Soohyeon said, "This was the most difficult part.
When the prosecution office takes a stance on the evidence of the bereaved family, suddenly, new recorded testimony is made public. Photos and videos that have been cleverly altered to show the time of the incident, and KakaoTalk messages that have been edited instead of the original are being released.
"It will be presented as evidence. False testimony and false evidence are being presented under the pretext that I was in a relationship with the deceased," she said, "I will be criticized for the choices I made. However, that doesn't mean that...
Just as I have undergone verification procedures for KakaoTalk, I hope that all the evidence presented by the family of the deceased will be verified by investigative agencies.
"If the evidence held by the family is genuine, we request that they submit all materials to the investigative authorities and have it verified through legal procedures."
At this event, Kim Soohyeon did not mention when she first met the late Kim Sae Ron.
A legal representative for Gold Medalist said, "Kim Soohyeon and Gold Medalist have decided to file criminal charges and civil lawsuits against those involved in order to clearly clarify the facts.
At their request, our law firm will investigate the bereaved family, the unnamed person who falsely claimed to be the aunt, and the operator of the Carocello Research Institute, using the appraisal documents mentioned by actor Kim Soo-hyeon earlier.
"Based on this, we have filed a complaint for defamation. We have also accepted a lawsuit against these individuals for 12 billion won in damages."
Regarding the case for which there was no Q&A session that day, he said, "By filing the complaint, the current issue became the subject of an investigation and a legal decision had to be made.
On behalf of the actor and the management office, we ask for your kind understanding."
