Kim Soo-hyun's Agency Releases Statement to Clarify Controversy Surrounding Kim Sae-ron

The agency also clarified issues related to their relationship with YouTube personality Lee Joon-ho, rumors about actor Seo Woo-jin, and the spread of false information by the bereaved family and Ga Se-yoon. They stated that they have never slandered Seo Woo-jin, and the allegations are completely unfounded. The bereaved family and the "Horizontal and Vertical Research Institute" have continued to release content that deviates from the facts through press conferences and reports. The agency denied any connection with YouTuber Lee Joon-ho, contrary to claims made by the institute, and explained that the individual in question is actually affiliated with a different company that had previously worked with Kim Sae-ron.

Furthermore, the agency responded to the recent controversy over the threatening letter, stating that the letter they sent to Kim Sae-ron requested that she not contact Kim Soo-hyun and other agency actors directly and threatened to take legal action if she uploaded photos. However, the agency claimed that these allegations are not factual and urged the media and the public to stop spreading false information. They also explained that subsequent communications with Kim Sae-ron were merely part of a legal procedure to discuss debt repayment methods and timelines, not an attempt to coerce her.

The agency highlighted that they never prohibited Kim Sae-ron from contacting the company's actors, and she was free to communicate with them. The only instruction was to discuss debt matters with the responsible lawyer, rather than other individuals without legal authority. The representatives of Kim Soo-hyun stated that the family members of the deceased and the "Horizontal and Vertical Research Institute" have continued to disseminate false information through press conferences and reports, including misidentifying an individual in a photo uploaded by Kim Sae-ron's fan SNS account as Kim Soo-hyun.

To prevent the spread of false information, the agency has called for an immediate halt to the dissemination of untrue facts based on anonymous reports. Meanwhile, the company will continue to uphold the truth and safeguard its interests. By emphasizing the importance of verifying facts and sources, the company aims to protect not only its artist but also the reputation of the late actress Kim Sae-ron, and to prevent further harm caused by unsubstantiated claims. The agency once again called on the public and the media to stop spreading photos and false information involving Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron, hoping to give the relevant individuals and families sufficient respect and space. At the same time, the agency also stated that they will continue to protect their rights and reputation through lawful means.
