[theqoo] THE LATE KIM SAERON’S SIDE STATED “KIM SOOHYUN’S AGENCY SENT TWO CERTIFIED LETTERS… WE ARE CONSIDERING LEGAL ACTION”

The late Kim Saeron’s side revealed that Kim Soohyun’s agency sent two certified letters to the deceased during her lifetime.

On the afternoon of the 17th, attorney Bu Ji-seok from the law firm Buyou, representing Kim Saeron’s bereaved family, stated in front of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency: “After the agency sent the first certified letter, the deceased texted Kim Soohyun, pleading for help. Subsequently, the agency sent a second certified letter. While they mentioned that it was unavoidable due to issues like breach of trust, the letter essentially demanded that the deceased repay the debt within a given period.”

Previously, Kim Soohyun’s side had claimed that the certified letters were sent for formal reasons due to a breach of trust issue. However, the deceased’s side refuted this claim.

Kim Saeron’s representatives further stated, “The letters also included warnings prohibiting direct contact with Kim Soohyun and other actors from his agency, as well as threats of legal action regarding posted photos. After the second certified letter, Kim Soohyun never contacted the deceased again, nor did she receive any communication from other actors under his agency. It is unimaginable how much emotional distress the deceased must have suffered upon receiving such letters. It is unclear why, only now, Kim Soohyun’s side is issuing a public statement claiming to be waiting for contact from the bereaved family.”

They also added, “We are currently reviewing legal action against Kim Soohyun’s side.”

Previously, Kim Saeron’s bereaved family filed a lawsuit against YouTuber A, claiming that since 2022, A had uploaded videos containing false information about the deceased. They particularly objected to the claim that Kim Saeron had staged her relationship with Kim Soohyun, calling it a blatant falsehood.

Meanwhile, the YouTube channel ‘Garosero’ alleged that Kim Sa-ron had been in a relationship with Kim Soohyun for six years, starting when she was 15. In response, Kim Soohyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, stated, “The relationship occurred when the deceased was an adult, and the debt-related allegations are also different from what has been reported. Who benefits from disclosing someone’s private life without consent?”
