According to an exclusive media outlet report on March 22 KST, actor Kim Soo Hyun's side is currently considering the possibility of suing the late Kim Sae Ron's family for defamation.
A representative of LKB & Partners, the law firm representing Kim Soo Hyun, commented, "We are currently considering legal measures over the false accusations that Kim Soo Hyun dated a minor."
The rep added on, "Both Kim Soo Hyun and Gold Medalist are mourning the loss of the late Kim Sae Ron. Thus far, they have refrained from pursuing legal measures out of respect for the bereaved family members. However, the family continued to threaten Kim Soo Hyun and even went as far as to publicize a private photo of Kim Soo Hyun without his consent, so we had no choice but to move forward with legal action."
Previously, on March 20 KST, Gold Medalist filed a criminal complaint against the YouTube channel HOVERLAB, the family of Kim Sae Ron, and the individual known as an "aunt" of Kim Sae Ron, for publicizing an inappropriate photo of him without consent.
Meanwhile, the late Kim Sae Ron's family members have filed a defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Lee Jin Ho for spreading false rumors about the actress before her death. It's said that they may consider additional legal measures against Kim Soo Hyun.
