Lawyer for Kim Sae Ron’s Family Releases Texts Between Her and Kim Soo Hyun as the Family Remains Committed to Suing Youtuber Lee Jin Ho and Continues Demand that Kim Soo Hyun Admit He Dated Her When She Was a Minor
It’s now over two weeks since the Kim Soo Hyun allegedly dated deceased young actress Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor scandal broke. Today had a very substantive day in terms of documentation being released rather than in previous days when it was ex-boyfriend, short term husband, friend of a friend, etc. all giving interviews about Kim Sae Ron’s personal life in the time after her DUI. Today addressed once again the central issue – did Kim Soo Hyun date 12-year younger Kim Sae Ron starting in 2015 when she was only 15 years old and a minor. Her family through a lawyer held a press conference today and released Kakao message texts allegedly between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron and it’s actually just really normal texts between any dating couple (work update, missing you, flirting, wanting to kiss, hug, he asks to hold her to sleep, etc.) EXCEPT these texts were in June 2016 which would make him 28 years old and her 15 years and 11 months (almost 16) and holy fuck that is soooooo wrong to see a grown man dating and talking that way to an actual underage teenager. At this point Kim Soo Hyun has only one option to keep trying to deny he dated her when she was underage which is to sue the family that all this evidence was 100% made up.
The family also released a handwritten letter she wrote to him that she planned to give him last year but clearly never did and it’s just so sad, she still cared for him but was so scared of Gold Medalist and the debt repayment demand and wanted to reach out and see if he could help and talked about their 5-6 years of dating and how it feels like it meant nothing to him. Other recent reveals include Garo Sero Institute releasing a short video shot by Kim Soo Hyun (his voice narrating) in Paris of a risque lingerie wearing mannequin that he sent to Kim Sae Ron where he’s being all pervy to how hot the body is. Also Kim Sae Ron’s good friend was being solicited by Youtuber Lee Jin Ho along with a forensic expert alongside to do an interview and tell all and that friend turned the tables and secretly recorded the entire encounter which led to the reveal that Kim Soo Hyun cheated on Kim Sae Ron during their relationship and Kim Sae Ron had to work hard to maintain her “Queen” i.e. main partner status. During that exchange, the forensic expert replied with the names of two very famous 2nd generation idol girls as the ones Kim Soo Hyun cheated on Kim Sae Ron with. The names of those two idols are floating around but I don’t want to mention it here. And lastly, Kim Soo Hyun’s visit to Taiwan this weekend to headline a festival, which last week was stated by both sides as still on, has now been cancelled a few days ago, as expected.
Grooming. https://youtu.be/MFDaAiczfvo?si=dWflKIGaXTAGvCWv
When Katt Williams more than a year ago said that 2024 would be the year of revelation that gentleman didn’t know that 2025 would follow through
I wonder how much evidence his ‘fans’ will want to see before they dig their heads out of the sand and see the sunshine. Their refusal to admit that their idol is indeed a pedophile is also contributing to this mess, as more and more evidence keeps being released that is damning for their star. This is a clear case of a stitch in time saves nine. If last year during the height of his fame he had admitted the relationship but kept the details hidden, would the family be out for blood now? If his company had, for old times sake, worked with Sae Ron on a payment plan, would she have felt so miserable as to take that extreme step? I’m not dumping all the fault on his lap, by no means. She was failed by numerous people but he has a large part to play on how things turned out and he needs to step up and take responsibility for his actions. He seems to have a really bad advisor and is surrounding himself with bad people. Instead of apologizing, they went on a campaign to smear the victim’s reputation which rebounded on him and LJH.
Karma is a b!tch and as far as I’m concerned, it’s at play here. Looks like there are other victims, of KSH, direct and indirect, and their stories will come crawling out of the woodwork when this can of worms is opened.
Sulli’s brother posted again. This time he hinted about manipulation. I think he doesnt want to drag Sulli’s name in this mess but at the same time couldnt help but vent his frustration. So he is leaving cryptic messages on ig
Looks like Sulli’s brother has come out firing now. Demanding KSH and Lee SeRang answer his questions about Sulli’s nude scene in the movie Real.
His fans demanding to show forensic results of photos and text messages. Although I highly doubt KSR family would lie about text messages on a press conference, I think asking for forensic results is a valid question.
The press conference was by forensic experts. The family didn’t lead it they did. All the chat messages are verified by experts.
No, it wasn’t. Press conference was not by forensic experts, but by family’s lawyer, and there’s literally journalists words:
“He carefully reiterated that while he cannot divulge if the released chats have already been analyzed with forensics, “the images released were formatted without a single word being changed.” As with press releases, many official sources often reformat chat logs into new images rather than provide the original screenshots. This can be for many reasons, such as to protect privacy, or to make it better for understanding, or due to legal complications.
“It is difficult to say at this stage whether it is forensic data or not,” carefully choosing his words. However, it was reconstructed without a single word being changed, and nothing was altered to soften it. The KakaoTalk messages exchanged with ‘aunt’ were also reconstructed in the same manner. The original data clearly exists, and since legal action is being considered, disclosing it is a sensitive matter.”
Is it hard to check information before spreading? I already commented here about it, people should check everything they reading on social media, not to believe to anything immediately just on word. Misinformation won’t help any case
@Olesya1, I applaud your rationality while reading others’ comments with amuse. LOL.
Taiwan mayor basically kicked him out by saying they dont want pdfiles in their country yet his agency doing mediaplay that it is because of scheduling conflicts.
As for the texts i felt like throwing up while reading . The grooming was so clear in those messages with the way he acted as if she was in control of their relationship. Even strangers like us are disgusted imagine how horrible her parents are feeling now . They are probably blaming themselves for not doing better at that time. I really believe their claim because a lot of my friends were doing stupid shit at that age but their parents had no idea what was going on . Saeron’s parents are already suffering so i hope people stop dunking them on further. They are now doing the right thing to bring justice to their daughter and save other potential victims.
Meanwhile his fans are beyond saving atp. No matter what proof we show they cannot be shaken. The chats were released by forensic and was reconstructed using the chat display.Hence the latest profile pic. Even burning sun chats were revealed like that. So if sae ron’s parents submit these texts in court they will accept it.
F*ck… I honestly still thought him dating her as a minor can be a lie. But now… If he won’t sue them for defamation and won’t prove in the court the data of these messages are false and was photoshopped, I don’t think there’s any doubts left. Messages were revealed almost a day ago, but Gold Medalist still didn’t answer on it. At such moments you should answer immediately and say if the data of these messages are false, I don’t know why they’re waiting. Well, I can guess.
These messages was uncomfortable to read considering when they were made.
P.S.: but there’s no need to mention names of idols KSH supposedly slept with, and drag them into this. I don’t have faith into Garo Sero, knowing what they posted about other female celebrities before and how they already tried to spell the tea about these idols, but I hope they won’t act so low.
So that information about idols came from recorded audio with conversation between youtuber Lee Jung Ho and the person who called himself a Kim Sae Ron friend, which was posted on Garo Sero channel. This friend is a 40+ yo man who right now marketing his bar by posting KSR pictures (not on his personal account, on account of his bar), and putting poster with her face on a wall.
Garo Sero, are you for real? Such stupid things is a reason I doubting them, one minute they saying something believable, at the next minute doing such nonsense and posting unreliable source of information at all. 70% of what they posting is an idiotism, which can be debunked at the same minute they saying that.
The only reason I’m more believe text messages is a true because KSH agency quiet about them and still didn’t sue Garo Sero for defamation. I never see someone be so quiet and not commenting on such news immediately.
I still think text messages are probably true (it’s need to be a complete idiot to fabricate such serious thing), but Garo Sero pissing me off more and more. There’s no need to drag popular idols in such scandal with such unreliable source. Well, it doesn’t matter if they’re popular or not, there’s no need to make gossips.
Looking at some things they saying I still will wait if the court will happen or not.
(Why did I even news about it again, time to remind to herself not to check information about this case for next month)
The initial stage of the scandal opened up a can of warms but wait! Scorpions came out too. That 40-yr old so-called “friend” of KSR is so bizarre, taking advantage of the misfortune of his late “friend” to reap business profits??? I’ll certainly put his allegations in big question cuz those are out of a mouth of someone with questionable character.
KSH’s side is looking more and more desperate, unable to counteract the detrimental allegations against him. He may not be indicted for any misconducts. But I believe his image is completely ruined. As perfect as his public persona was once worshiped by his fans in the past, now more people seem to believe in the extreme opposite to his prior image. KSH needs miracles to prevent him from going downhills this fast. I wonder if he can find legal advisors to make him such miracles. His image has been badly tainted, very hard to whitewash. Such a fall from grace!
@Olesya1, with or without forensic details, I personally think KSR’s family won’t be lying with the info presented since they are being witnessed in front of so many reporters and they are filing a lawsuit against Lee Jin Ho and all this can be investigated. It will just backfire and make them look like clowns if they present fake info at this point. Also, the fact that KSH didn’t deny the statement in 48 hours show there is a good chance that the text can be true.
However, I know his fans will use the lack of forensic evidence as a point to argue against the family. But, whatever the family says, they will not believe in it anyways
I too agree it is best not to drag more names into this drama..The other celebs he used to date are his past now.
His crazy fans already posted an article where they asked the lawyer if this is forensic verified but lawyer didn’t answer directly and said all words are from the original context.
For me, I don’t think the family will fake these messages and do a press conference in front of millions of reporters when they all this can be Investigated while they are going through a lawsuit. And his company not saying a word for 24 hours speak volumes
Yes, there are crazy fans online who are aggressively defending him. I guess that is what fans so. I wonder how he will navigate out of this situation? Who will he get to speak for him? How many days does he need to do so?
There are of course more than 1 party that caused her so much grief in her short life… I read her mum is planning to sue her abusive husband if there was really one.
After yesterday’s press conference, now if all are untrue. Kim Soo Hyun can sue for defamation to save his career and his reputation.
@HL , agree , if as his fans claim , all is untrue , he must sue to clear his name , his honor . Sulli’s family is demanding also explanations . Sad . If all was fabricated or generated by AI , it’s the biggest plot of the K ent industry !!!
@Cahill, I am so glad I did not watch Real… I saw the preview and thought to myself, this movie is like cheap HK Cat3..
Well… he might have to re-draft his drama at hand now, and try to navigate attention away from himself again.
Kris Wu is in jail for rape and SA but his fans still defend his innocence. Fans can be deliberately blind.
I see more similarities between Kim Soo Hyun and Chris Wu as more are reveals. Both have team behind them too.
I feel sick.
@cahill, Just checking do you save your whatsapp messages? I dont tend to save mine… I have to say, I always get amazing my how messages from years ago saved on mobile apps… I should start…just to re-read for walk down memory sake.
This massage are not from 2016 but from 2020 which match his profile picture from 2020.so let me ask is anyone see it because it is clear the massage are from 2020.
Change your profile picture. Now look at your texts from a few years ago. Is your profile picture the one you had a few years ago or the one you have now?
Think.
Agree with duh. I can change my sister’s profile pic on my text messages yet still have my all my old and new messages with her. Profile pics can be edited by you; at least with my samsung phone/google messages.
And he’s an idiot above all, because if he had helped her out in her time of need as a normal human being would do, none of this would have ever been revealed.
His and his fans’ hubris, and stupid PR have collectively led to this ultimate destruction. Guilty or not, I’m not seeing much chance for him to recover his career.
I guess this is what he meant by the nth room comment because it all plays out pretty horrible. Time will tell whether this is all true or not. Yikes this is definitely not looking good for the actor and with this new evidence out I highly doubt Disney plus will showcase their show at all for the time being.
look like KSH and his agency committing serious crime to Sulli
They really did everything to get money and fame
Sulli brother say, he will fall and suffer slowly
KSH and his mafia gang
Who are those idols? I wanna know so bad and tried googling them but nothing showed up in the English sites…could someone give me a hint?
Stop gossiping, ugh. These idol’s names isn’t your business.
How deliciously ironic.
So many people wanting the gossip and acting like they know the truth. Talking about this like they are the ones in the situation. Not supporting KSH, but after so many suicides.. I am getting tired of reading these news.
Dont read then..dont read other people’s comments too. No one is making you do so. I dont know why you are putting yourself thru it? So strange. Everyone are their own individuals.
@Again is entitled to her opinion, including expression of getting sick of gossips.
@Somebody..so am I…
I see what kind of person you are. Someone who wants to start a fight. I have nothing to fight with you about. You are right.. I don’t need to read these comments or these news but I just wanted to let people know that we don’t know the truth and people can only speculate and gossip and spread rumors knowing that this caused many celebrities to suicide. The exact same way KSR killed herself due to the negative news that was spread about her. Just saying. Thank you and bye.
When all the negative news spread about KSR and so many people commented on it. I also stated on this site for people to leave her alone.. and now it’s too late.
You can fight all you want and hate all you want. Argue with whoever makes a comment that is not to your liking as long as it makes you happy.
@HL, LOL. Nobody has been stopping you from making comments. So, it’s overreaching to tell @Again it’s strange for her to read and dislike comments. Do you really understand how free expressions work in a free world? Everyone is free to say how she feels about a drama or a scandal. We all have been doing so actively. At the end, we’re telling others nothing but how we feel at the end. What we said is by no means a legal opinion. LOL. Therefore, our own opinion isn’t more valuable than others’. Why feeling offended by @Again?
@Somebody…whatever somebody, Say as you wish..
@HL, I hope you don’t take my words as offensive. If so, my apologies. I was just trying to say @Again got her points, as we do all have our own points. You might misunderstand her.
@Again, i get what you mean but when you are a celebrity you are diffrent from a civilian , a celebrity needs the public and has a kind of duty to this public , it may seems unfair but that’s how it works . As he remain silent , people is being very suspicious . When KSR, Sulli, LSK,…commit suicide they were facing situations in which nobody wanted to listen them or forgive them . Here KSH is facing serious charges from families, …but he remains silent and his agency is no better . Why can’t he just make a declaration to clear his name ,or pursue all of them to seek justice . Or apologize . We can’t criticize people who are expressing their thoughts . He isn’t a child who is bullyied but a man who can speak !
@cahill, I agree with all your points except for the last one. He isn’t a child who was bullied before the scandal broke out. But I do think many people including some regular visitors of this site who used to bully other celebs now turn their target to KSH and have been indeed bullying him. Not defending KSH since I’m not his staunch fan, but I see similar behavior patterns of Asian drama fans across the board when different celebs have negative publicity. Fans seem to get very excited about the downfall of stars, specifically big names, and can’t hold off their guilty verdicts until the legal ones say so.
It doesn’t matter how long it took or will take for KSH’s legal actions, I still stand by my position not to judge him only based upon online speculations. As many already are so sure about KSH’s guilt from keyboard court LMAO, I’m still on the fence to see if he’s a pedo . Nonetheless, KSH’s reputation is severely tainted. That’s just a fact per public reactions to his scandal. People are deliberately or unconsciously slamming KSH with “evidence” all outside courtrooms and gossiped online for now. This is equal to bullying KSH IMO cuz the same people on this site had similarly treated other celebs before as if they were all flawlessly innocent human beings and more saint themselves than those targeted celebs. These fans also had blood on their hands in the cases that bullied celebs finally took their own lives. But they keep doing so without reflecting upon themselves. It appears some people enjoy juicy gossips of celebs than dramas themselves, are more excited about, and actively participate in delivering guilty verdicts as keyboard judges LOL. To this point, I’m siding with @Again.
I find Sulli’s case really heartbreaking… Not bringing up all her other problems. But just the movie Real, it is heartbreaking. More are speaking up even the director that left the project.
I read there are other victims from auditions too. Anyway, I doubt we will hear last of Kim Soo Hyun.
If he wants to stay in this career and not deal with lawsuits from his sponsors…he better speak up.
I am glad to see people that take advantage of their position and power who cause hurt and harm to the weak come to light. That is real justice for the disadvantaged.
@Somebody, by SK legal laws in the days Kim Soo Hyun was dating Kim Saeron, it was not illegal. As age of consent was 14yrs. Thus he is not ‘Pedo” by their old system. It has since increased. If he sue anyone for calling him ‘pedo’, it will not surprise me the court will be on his side.
@Somebody, my bad , you didn’t understand my meaning , what i was saying is that isn’t a child who fears to speak when he is abused or bullied but a man who can speak for himself and clear his name . Now i agree with you with the fact that he can feel being bullied by people , reporters ,… but he isn’t harmless as a child and can stop all that . My bad english made you misunderstood .
To think, this could have been prevented if he had shown a bit of kindness. I wonder if there will be a point where he would admit to dating KSR if only to stop the onion from peeling further. I feel like his rep could have somewhat weathered dating a 15 year old when he was in his late 20s (gag) if he could have claimed that he was head over heels or some fake romantic BS like that. But the other stuff really shows his sinister intentions.
A good thing they had all these messages saved and can prove the lies.
Lol Olesia you are a fan of KSH hoping for a miracle right? Doenst matter what the 40+ yr old friend does, he was there before and after she died, guarded and carried her coffin and was even able to get an evidence against Lee Jin ho. You are obviously reading ang secretly hoping that Kim Groomer can still be saved because your information came from his fans lmaooo
40+ yr old friend >>>>> almost 40 ex evil bf
@garo, sometimes I dont understand how their defenders and supporters still think what he did is right. They still say all this is fabricated which is why they cant provide forensic evidence and they focus on their profile pic and emoji etc , blah blah blah. And they say “reconstruct” means it is not the actual text and this can be manipulated. Family is filing a lawsuit against Lee Jin Ho. if these fans even think logically in their shoes, by now, they will present real information since the court and police have intervened. But, his defenders still think he is innocent. I know by law he is lucky to not be classified as a pedo at that time but morally and ethnically, it is wrong to date a girl you have seen growing up as a kid.
Let’s also not forget he has been silenced for 3 days on the KSR’s issue. Staying silent will allow more room for speculation that all this is either true or he is cornered with irrefutable proof
No, LOL.
I’m just not naive idiot who believes everything on word, I waiting for more detailed information. I saw a lot of times how asian fans believing to every rumor they saw immediately, without even asking for any proofs. And I saw how some serious scandals were debunked. Because of that I always searching more information about scandals first before commenting anything. Because of that I can confidently say I have more rational mindset than many of asian fans on social media who commenting about scandals.
I’m already said here a lot of times I’m more confident KSH really groomed KSR, and I explained why I think so. I repeated it a lot of times because of people like you. I knew people like you wouldn’t understand if I don’t say it directly. If I won’t take Garo Sero side completely you would call me “pedo defender”, “d*ckrider”, “pick me girl”, and everything you can made up. Gosh, you didn’t understood even after reading my comments, where I literally said “I’m more confident KSH groomed KSR”. Sorry I didn’t jump on hate train like others did, sorry I correcting people when they saying misinformation, and sorry I criticising other side for things they deserve to be criticised. I literally wrote long comment here about KSH, yet you think I’m his supporter, you don’t have reading comprehension?
“Doesn’t matter what 40 yo friend does” – doesn’t matter? I literally wrote what he does, did you read my comment? Oh, I forgot about reading comprehension. He spread rumors about “female idols from popular groups” with whom KSH slept, he called these idols by names to this Lee Jin Go. What kind of evidence he get against Lee Jin Ho? To record audio of their conversation, where that friend telling to Lee Jin Ho names of women KSH supposedly slept with?? And when posting that audio on social media? So people can start gossip about these idols? Are you really think nothing wrong with that?
Seriously, answer to me, what kind of evidences he got against Lee Jun Ho by talking about these idols with him, and posting this conversation online?
He deserves criticism for that, and yes, I’m doubting someone as Kim Sae Ron’s friend who started to write posts about her on account of his bar not after she died, but only after video with him was posted. Who wrote hashtags of his bar under the post he wrote about Kim Sae Ron. I find it suspicious because I’m not naive idiot, and I can criticise more than one person for once.
Some people can criticise both KSH and Garo Sero, but I know it’s hard to understand for people like you who ready to call anyone questioning some sides of the story “KSH fan”.
@sunflower
I said asking for forensic results is a normal question, and what I still will wait if court will happen or not, and what will be in the court.
I wrote nothing about profile pic, emoji and reconstruction. And I’m one of the people who said KSH’s silence for a whole day is suspicious and one of the reason I think he really is guilty.
What whole your comment has to do with me?
Why you’re telling all this under the comment written about me, his alleged “supporter and defender”, when your last sentence is the same that I wrote about KSH?
Some of you really need to upgrade reading comprehension.
Just a year ago – I recall now holier than thou commenters were also condemning KSR.
As being attention-seeking. How ‘fake’ her coffee stint etc all was.
I sit on a neutral fence.
KSH’s no lily white innocent saint as he/agency embellishes their way (truthfully or untruthfully) through all the events,
All condemnations of parties aside though … how come no one questions her famiy either?
What kind of parents would come out screaming now, AFTER they were ok with sacrificing their child’ innocence and living off her earnings …. and also being ok with their teen’s relationship with a 27 yr old
