Attorney Bu Ji Suk of Buyou Law Firm, representing the family of the late actress Kim Sae Ron, forensic extraction of KakaoTalk messages exchanged between the late actress and actor Kim Soo Hyun prove that the two stars were dating in 2018. This would be when Kim Sae Ron was 18-years old, 2-years before she turned of legal age in South Korea.
On December 4 KST, Bu Ji Suk stated, "To prevent any further misunderstandings, we will disclose the contents of the KakaoTalk messages obtained via forensic extraction and submitted to the police as evidence to prove that Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun dated in 2018."
The attorney continued, "Kim Sae Ron's side has participated diligently in the ongoing investigations, submitting all electronic devices which belonged to Kim Sae Ron to the police. Kim Soo Hyun's legal representative, attorney Go Sang Rok, claimed that previously revealed KakaoTalk messages, dated April 2, 2018, were conversations that Kim Sae Ron had with other acquaintances, clipped and put together to look like they were exchanged with Kim Soo Hyun. However, according to KakaoTalk messages recently obtained through forensic extraction, Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron did in fact exchange those messages in 2018."
