Allegations Resurface After Kim Sae-ron's Death

In a surprising turn of events, a lawyer representing the family of the late K-drama star Kim Sae-ron held a dramatic press conference on March 27, unveiling alleged evidence that points to a controversial relationship between Kim Sae-ron and prominent actor Kim Soo-hyun during her teenage years.

Kim Soo-hyun, known for his stellar performances in hit dramas like *It’s Okay To Not Be Okay* and *Queen Of Tears*, is now at the heart of a scandal that surfaces in the aftermath of Kim Sae-ron’s tragic death by suicide on February 16, 2023, at just 24 years old. This heartbreaking incident has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and raised serious questions about their relationship.

Press Conference Details

At the conference held in southern Seoul, lawyer Bu Ji-seok, representing Kim Sae-ron’s family, showcased screenshots of KakaoTalk messages allegedly exchanged between the two actors when Kim Sae-ron was only 15 and Kim Soo-hyun was 28. The family is claiming these texts indicate that Kim Soo-hyun either engaged in a relationship or "groomed" the underage actress.

Controversial Messages Unveiled

Among the controversial messages presented, one text showed Kim Soo-hyun professing that he missed Kim Sae-ron, while another included a playful exchange that hinted at physical intimacy. Phrases such as “When can I fall asleep with you in my arms?” raised eyebrows and further fueled the scandal. The messages reportedly date back to June 2016, a crucial moment that has now come under intense scrutiny.

Public Reaction and Intentions of Hoverlab

As public interest skyrockets, YouTube channel Hoverlab, which originally broke the news, has vowed to continue pursuing the truth unless Kim Soo-hyun offers a sincere apology. Bu Ji-seok remarked, “An apology only matters if it is heartfelt and truly acknowledged by the recipient.” This statement suggests that the family seeks not just public acknowledgment but also personal restitution from the actor.

Background on Kim Sae-ron

This shocking revelation comes on the heels of Kim Sae-ron’s past, which was marred by controversy following a drunken driving incident in 2022 that significantly impacted her career.
