In the course of the press convention, Kim Soo Hyun apologized and denied all allegations, together with the KakaoTalk message proof offered by the late Kim Sae Ron’s household at their latest press convention, stating that his relationship with Kim Sae Ron happened 5 years in the past for a interval of about one 12 months.
Whats up, that is Kim Soo Hyun.
First, I apologize.
Evidently so many individuals are struggling due to me, and it breaks my coronary heart that the deceased can’t relaxation in peace.
I contemplate myself a coward. I at all times appeared preoccupied with defending what I had. I couldn’t even belief the kindness proven to me, and I used to be at all times afraid of shedding one thing, of being harmed, so I used to be busy working away and denying issues. That’s why it took me so lengthy to face right here. I’ve been considering, what if I had simply instructed every little thing from the start? If I had, wouldn’t the followers who beloved me, the corporate employees who labored tirelessly to make even this press convention occur, wouldn’t all of them have suffered a lot much less?
Each time my non-public life with the deceased was uncovered, I saved considering, “Let’s simply inform every little thing tomorrow. Let’s personally communicate up and finish this hellish state of affairs.” However each time, I hesitated. What affect would my choice have on these round me? What if the choice makes every little thing go fallacious for myself and everybody else?
It was the identical when the deceased posted a photograph of us collectively in the course of the airing of “Queen of Tears.” 5 years in the past—and 4 years earlier than “Queen of Tears” aired—the deceased and I dated for a few 12 months. However at the moment, I denied the courting rumors. I feel it’s pure to criticize me for that selection. I perceive in case you can’t consider what I’m saying now about what occurred between the deceased and me. However since that is the one likelihood I’ve to talk like this right here, I’d be so grateful in case you would simply take heed to my story as soon as.
I grew to become an actor and obtained an awesome quantity of affection. Initially, I wasn’t somebody who had a lot, however I grew to become somebody with a lot to guard. Even when “Queen of Tears” was airing, there have been so many issues I needed to shield because the lead actor. At the moment, if I admitted to a relationship with somebody I dated years in the past, what would occur? What would occur to the actors I used to be working with, all of the employees who had been up all night time on set, the manufacturing firm that was placing every little thing on the road for this mission, and our firm employees?
Every time the alternatives of “human Kim Soo Hyun” and “star Kim Soo Hyun” diverged, I feel I at all times made the selection of “star Kim Soo Hyun.” So, I used to be really afraid every single day. I used to be afraid of what would occur if every little thing I selected to guard as a result of I used to be ”star Kim Soo Hyun” got here again to me as poison. I used to be afraid of every little thing. However even when I might return to when “Queen of Tears” was airing, I’d make that selection once more.
Irrespective of how a lot I give it some thought, I don’t suppose I could make that call as I please simply to make myself snug. I believed that was the duty that somebody who selected the lifetime of Kim Soo Hyun has to bear. I’ll settle for any criticism in case you name that selection cowardly or egocentric. And I apologize to everybody who has cared for me.
Even at this second, I’ve a variety of worries. And I’m anxious. What sort of penalties will my phrases have this time? However as a result of I’m that type of particular person, I believed I needed to communicate up ultimately. There have been additionally individuals who gave me this recommendation: “Let’s resolve this easily. To handle the chance, you need to no less than first present that you just’re accepting issues to a sure extent. Then you definitely’ll fade from folks’s curiosity, and you may put together for a comeback later.” If I had listened to these phrases, perhaps my non-public life with the deceased wouldn’t have been uncovered to this extent.
I wouldn’t have needed to obtain threats every single day about what photographs they might add tomorrow, what they might expose. And I wouldn’t have been humiliated by having photographs of my non-public life leaked. However I couldn’t try this. I couldn’t settle for being threatened and compelled to confess that lies had been the reality.
I’ll discuss concerning the half you’re most interested in. I didn’t date the deceased when she was a minor. And additionally it is not true that the deceased made a tragic selection due to me turning away or as a result of my company pressured her about her debt. Other than the truth that we had been each actors, we had been each simply extraordinary lovers like everybody else. We met with good emotions for one another, and as time handed, we broke up. After that, we not often contacted one another. Like most {couples}, we had been cautious to contact one another individually after breaking apart. We had been each actors who had been recognized to many individuals, and when she was in the identical company as me, I knew to some extent how she was doing, so it was much more so.
That’s why I couldn’t simply contact her even when she had a drunk driving accident. I heard on the YouTube channel representing the deceased’s household that the CEO of her last company mentioned that she was having a tough time due to me on the time of the drunk driving incident. However I do know that she was courting another person at the moment. In that state of affairs, I used to be cautious about contacting her. We had been already residing our personal lives, and I didn’t know what to say. My phrases might sound like excuses. I additionally wished to simply keep quiet it doesn’t matter what the world mentioned.
I at all times obtain a variety of misunderstandings as a lot as I obtain extreme love. Issues that aren’t true additionally flow into as if they’re true. I believed that was additionally one thing I needed to bear. However the deceased’s household is claiming that I drove the deceased to her demise as a result of I used to be her ex-boyfriend. They’re forcing me to admit to issues I didn’t do. “You manipulated the deceased since she was a minor. You pressured the deceased with cash and killed her. So you’re a assassin.”
First, please take heed to this audio. After the household uncovered my relationship with the deceased, the YouTube channel that conveys the household’s place launched the testimony of the CEO of the deceased’s last company. In a newly recorded name after the publicity, this particular person mentioned that our company pressured the deceased about her money owed by sending a second certificates of contents concerning the debt relationship with the deceased. However in a name with my company’s CEO a 12 months in the past, she mentioned one thing utterly totally different. Please take heed to it as soon as.
I discovered about this by this controversy, however that is the reality concerning the second certificates of contents. However I don’t know why the CEO of the deceased’s last company is mendacity, saying one thing utterly totally different from the decision a 12 months in the past. I’ll admit to something I did fallacious. I feel it’s a should to take duty for something I’ve to take duty for. However I can’t say that I did one thing I didn’t do. The audio testimonies that the household is claiming had been recorded newly after the incident was uncovered.
The identical goes for the KakaoTalk content material that the household initially launched. There are too many incorrect information on this KakaoTalk to say that the deceased wrote it. The picture that was mentioned to be from 2016 was really from 2019. Additionally, the deceased couldn’t have been fallacious concerning the age distinction between us. As well as, she couldn’t have been fallacious concerning the identify of the company she was part of for 4 years and the contract interval. And the deceased solely labored as an actress at our firm. She by no means did any casting or visible directing.
By way of a latest press convention, the household additionally launched content material from KakaoTalk conversations that I allegedly exchanged with the deceased. And that YouTube channel is framing me as a pedophile and a minor groomer through the use of the statements within the KakaoTalk conversations from 2016 as proof. Nevertheless, the one that is speaking to the deceased within the KakaoTalk dialog from 2016 and the KakaoTalk dialog from 2018 are totally different folks.
To show this reality, I submitted the KakaoTalk conversations from 2016 and 2018, that the household submitted, and conversations that I shared with my acquaintances this 12 months to a verification company that scientifically analyzes statements. Because of this, the company concluded that the folks in 2016 and 2018 will not be the identical particular person, as you may see.
Essentially the most painful factor because the household’s publicity started was this. When my company and I launch our stance on the household’s proof, a newly recorded testimony is all of the sudden launched. Images and movies that subtly change the timing of the incident, and edited KakaoTalk photos that aren’t the unique, are offered as proof. False testimonies and false proof are persevering with underneath the pretext that I dated the deceased.
I’ll settle for any criticism for the alternatives I made. However that doesn’t imply that every little thing that isn’t true turns into true. Simply as I’ve taken verification procedures for KakaoTalk, I’ll take procedures to totally confirm every little thing that the household is presenting as proof by investigative businesses. If the proof that the household has is de facto true, I request that they submit all the information to the investigative company and be verified by authorized procedures.
Even at this second, I’ve people who find themselves solely me and who I’ve to take duty for. I’m seeing these folks struggling and collapsing every single day. I’m afraid of what’s going to be uncovered and distorted once more right this moment to border me as a assassin. I don’t know what sort of faux proof and faux testimonies will defame me and harass the folks round me after this press convention is over.
But when I say that lies are the reality as a result of I can’t overcome the coercion, I’ll betray not solely Kim Soo Hyun as a human being, but in addition everybody who has given belief and like to Kim Soo Hyun the star. I’ll give them ache that can final a lifetime. Even when I’m Kim Soo Hyun who lives carrying a masks as a celeb, I can’t try this. What I did, I did. I can take all of the criticism for that. However I cannot do what I didn’t do. For all of the individuals who nonetheless consider in me, I wish to reveal that a lot. I cannot ask you to consider me. I’ll undoubtedly show it.
Following the press convention, Kim Soo Hyun’s authorized consultant Kim Jong Bok additional said, “Actor Kim Soo Hyun and his company GOLDMEDALIST have determined to file felony complaints and civil lawsuits in opposition to the events concerned in an effort to make clear the information. They’ve entrusted this matter to our legislation agency. In response to their request, our legislation agency filed a criticism right this moment in opposition to the bereaved members of the family, an unidentified particular person claiming to be [Kim Sae Ron’s] aunt, and the operators of HoverLab Inc. for defamation underneath the Act on Promotion of Data and Communications Community Utilization and Data Safety, and so on. The criticism consists of the emotional evaluation report talked about earlier by actor Kim Soo Hyun.”
