Popular actor Kim Soo Hyun has been under major public scrutiny amid allegations of dating the late Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor. While the actor has time and again denied these allegations, the fans don’t seem to believe him. In recent updates, a slander lawsuit worth 12 billion KRW was also launched by the Gold Medalist agency against the YouTube channel GaroSero and Sae Rons family. They are also hunting for the ‘so-called fake’ aunt that started the controversy.
Kim Soo Hyun’s Case
A woman claiming to be Kim Sae Ron’s aunt first surfaced with allegations that Kim Soo-hyun had an inappropriate contact with the actress following her untimely death, sparking the issue. She brought what she said was proof to back up her allegations, including letters, pictures, and screenshots from KakaoTalk, along with GaroSero and Sae Ron’s relatives.
LKB & Partners, Kim Soo Hyun’s legal team, has been trying to find this aunt ever since. The legal team disclosed in a statement made public through Daum that one of the defendants in the lawsuit is an unnamed woman they labelled the ‘so-called fake aunt.’ The legal team claims that identifying information like the woman’s name, phone number, or ID number is needed for court documentation.
The statement read, “If we can verify even one of the following — name, phone number, or resident registration number — then we’ll have no problem. With a phone number, we can go through telecom providers; with a resident number, we can pull basic registration documents.” They seemed confident to find and said that a criminal complaint had also been filed against her. They ended the statement by saying that they would be speeding up the process.
