Gold Medalist Releases Official Statement
On March 30, Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, confirmed the upcoming press conference, stating, “First of all, we apologize for causing concern due to recent events. We have arranged this meeting to meet the reporters in person and speak to them.”
The agency also clarified that the conference will be limited to a prepared statement, with no Q&A session following the address. They emphasized, “We would like to ask for your understanding in advance, as there will be no separate Q&A session other than the statement of position.”
Allegations and Controversy
Kim Soo-hyun has recently been embroiled in serious allegations regarding his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. The controversy stems from claims made by Kim Sae-ron’s bereaved family, who assert that the two were in a relationship for six years, beginning when she was 15 years old.
Kim Soo-hyun, who had denied dating rumors involving Kim Sae-ron in 2023, later revised his statement on March 14, declaring, “Mr. Kim Soo-hyun and Ms. Kim Sae-ron dated from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020, after Ms. Kim Sae-ron became an adult. It is not true that Mr. Kim Soo-hyun dated Ms. Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor.”
However, on March 27, Kim Sae-ron’s family held their own press conference, presenting what they claim to be evidence proving that she was involved with Kim Soo-hyun while still a minor. The ongoing dispute has fueled public speculation and debate, intensifying the pressure on Kim Soo-hyun to clarify his stance.
What to Expect from the Press Conference
Given the gravity of the allegations, the March 31 press conference is expected to be a pivotal moment in this unfolding controversy. While Kim Soo-hyun and his legal team will issue a statement, the absence of a Q&A session may leave lingering questions unanswered.
As the public and media eagerly await further developments, this event will likely have a significant impact on Kim Soo-hyun’s career and public perception. Stay tuned for updates on this highly anticipated press conference.
