On March 27, the legal representative of the late Kim Sae Ron’s family held a press conference to share their stance regarding the recent controversy involving Kim Soo Hyun.
During the press conference, the legal representative presented the following official statement:
This is Bu Ji Seok, representative attorney of the law firm BUYOU, acting as the legal representative for the bereaved family of the late Kim Sae Ron. As the family is currently experiencing severe anxiety and is unable to appear in public, I am here to convey their position on their behalf.
Recently, the private life of the late Kim Sae Ron has been recklessly exposed almost daily, leading to baseless speculation and criticism directed at the bereaved family. As a result, the family is suffering from extreme anxiety as well as severe mental and physical distress.
The reason for holding this press conference today is to inform you of the difficulties the family is facing and to earnestly request that the criticism directed at them cease. This is not an occasion to reveal the reasons why the late Kim Sae Ron chose to end her own life.
The reason the family initially had no choice but to disclose the fact that Kim Soo Hyun had been in a relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor was to file a lawsuit against YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, who circulated false information, belittled, and mocked the late Kim Sae Ron, ultimately driving her to her death.
However, what the family received in return was Kim Soo Hyun lying that he had never been in a relationship with her. Even after evidence proving their relationship was revealed, he did not offer a single word of apology. Instead, he is now lying again, stating that their relationship only began after she became an adult. Additionally, for reasons unknown, YouTuber Lee Jin Ho and other individuals involved in the case have been recklessly exposing the private life of the late Kim Sae Ron and spreading false information about her.
In response, the bereaved family wishes to put an end to the controversy by presenting evidence. To be clear, this is not a place to reveal the reasons behind the late Kim Sae Ron’s decision to end her own life. The family would like to express that after today’s press conference, they do not wish to engage in any further meaningless disputes over the truth.
Along with the official statement, the legal representative presented photos of KakaoTalk messages allegedly sent between Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun.

The legal representative further presented screenshots of Instagram direct messages sent between Kim Sae Ron and a friend on April 9, 2024, discussing her previous relationship.
Kim Sae Ron: I’m feeling mixed feelings like crazy. Friend: Hah…. Kim Soo Hyun of Tears… That crazy bastard should back off now… Friend: Because you’re a good person. Friend: You can find a waywaywaywaywaywaywayway better person.

The press conference also revealed the letter Kim Sae Ron attempted to send to Kim Soo Hyun after receiving the second certification of contents.
Hi, this is Rony, you’re doing well, right? I’m writing this to clear up some misunderstandings between us. I couldn’t reach anyone at the company and was scared of a lawsuit. I’m still sorry for posting the photo though. It was a photo I posted hoping the company would get in touch. I’m sorry for causing you harm. I find the people at GOLDMEDALIST very scary and uncomfortable. After leaving the company, no one answers me when I try contacting them. I don’t want to make things difficult for you. I sincerely wish you happiness. Looking back, the time we dated was about five to six years. Since you are my first and last love, I hope you won’t avoid me. Seeing you avoid me and trying to not even acknowledge me makes all the time we spent together feel empty and futile. Let’s just be on good terms, no more, no less, but we can at least be supportive of each other. Do you hate me that much? Why? If even this letter doesn’t reach you, our relationship will really be over forever. I think I’d be sad then. I won’t interfere in your life anymore, so please don’t hate me…I hope there will be a day when we can see each other again while smiling. 010-_______ This is my number. Please respond if you read the letter. Since there is no other way to convey my sincerity, I hope your address is still the same. I hope you, not Ro Be, are reading this. I am cheering on your work and love life and hope you will be happy, and I hope our time together will not be remembered negatively for each other…
