Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kim su hyun held a press conference and discussed everything
from his side, but no one from the media that
was present there was allowed to ask questions. But the
whole press conference was a mess starting to Right before
press conference, Garrisero Research Institute revealed another photo said to
(00:22):
be taken from a video. In a post via his
YouTube channel, Kim Say wrote that the video showed the
tenth grade Kim Saron cooking a chicken dish for Kim
su Yun. Dear Sue Hyun, who does not admit to
being a PD file. What does that even mean? You
remember where this video is from, don't you? At the
time Kim Seirn was in tenth grade, she cooked you
(00:45):
dick door tang at eleven twenty pm, and later that
night at one am, you sang her a song only
You My Love. I gotta give it to you. You
sure know how to sing. This was from your K
drama right I noticed. YouTuber Lee jen Hoe posted another
video earlier today. If you're behind it, you better stop.
(01:09):
I will not stand by and watch you harass Kim
Seharn's family any longer. You've put Kim Sehiran through so
much already, you're going to burn in hell, but before
you face even worse consequences, you should just apologize. While
Kim say does not mention additional details, he wrapped up
the post with a long string of hashtags, hinting that
(01:30):
Kim suhyun and Kim Sehn took a trip to Alpenzia,
a ski resort in Kowan Province, South Korea. He also added,
I also heard that you'll be bringing LKB lawyers to
the press conference tomorrow. I'm going to keep my eyes
on you and those lawyers and what kind of nonsense
you'll be spewing. Depending on how that press conference goes tomorrow,
(01:52):
I'm going to react the way you deserve. On March
thirty first, at four thirty pm KST, Kim su hyun
made his first appearance in a plain suit and with
a solemn expression as he sat down to speak. He
made his first comments following the controversy, apologizing for the
suffering he has caused and making reference to Kim Sehran.
(02:13):
First of all, I'm sorry. It feels like too many
people are suffering because of me, and I feel deep
sorrow thinking that the deceased may not be resting in peace.
I've always thought of myself as a coward. I was
always too focused on protecting what I had. I couldn't
even trust kindness shown to me. I was constantly afraid,
(02:34):
afraid of losing something, of being harmed. I kept running
away and denying things. That's why it took me so
long to stand here today. I kept thinking, what if
I had just said everything from the start. If I had,
maybe the fans who've loved me, and the company's staff
who've worked so hard behind the scenes to get to
(02:55):
this press conference wouldn't have had to suffer so much.
Every time something about our private relationship was exposed. I thought,
let's just talk about it all tomorrow, Let's end this
hellish situation myself. But each time I hesitated, I worried
about how my decision might affect the people around me.
What if I end up hurting not just myself but
(03:17):
everyone else too. Even when the deceased posted a photo
of us together while Queen of Tears was airing, I hesitated.
The deceased and I were in a relationship for about
a year five years ago, four years before Queen of
Tears aired, but at the time I denied it. I
understand that it's natural to criticize me for that decision.
(03:38):
I also understand if you find it hard to believe
what I say now about our relationship. But this may
be my only chance to speak about this publicly, so
I would be truly grateful if you could just hear
me out once. After becoming an actor, I received more
love than I ever deserved. I didn't have much to
begin with, but I ended up with so much to
(04:00):
protect when Queen of Tears aired As a lead actor,
there were so many things I had to safeguard. I
kept thinking, what will happen if I acknowledge a past
relationship from years ago? What about the actors I worked with,
the staff who stayed up all night on set, the
producers who poured everything into this project, my agency. Every
(04:22):
time the human Kim sujyun and the star Kim Suhyun
faced a choice, I chose to be the star. That's
why I was scared every day. What if everything I
tried to protect as a star ends up backfiring on me.
But even if I could go back to the time
Queen of Tears was airing, I would still make the
same choice I had to. I couldn't make that decision
(04:44):
just to ease my own conscience. No matter how I
think about it, I don't think that would have been right.
I believe that's the burden I must carry for choosing
this life as Kim Suyun. If people say my decision
was cowardly or selfish, I'll accept that, and I apologize
to everyone who has supported me. Even now, I'm full
(05:04):
of worry. I'm anxious about what consequences my words today
might bring. But because I am the person I am,
I knew I had to speak eventually. Some people gave
me this advice, just go with the flow, accept things
halfway to manage the risk, fade from the spotlight, and
come back later. Maybe if I had listened to them,
(05:26):
none of our private lives would have been exposed like this.
Maybe I wouldn't have received threats every day like I'm
going to post this photo tomorrow, I'll expose everything. Maybe
I wouldn't have been humiliated by the leakage of personal information.
But I couldn't go along with it. I couldn't accept
the demand to caalize the truth while being blackmailed. Now,
(05:47):
I want to address the part you're probably most curious about.
I did not date the deceased when she was a minor,
and it's not true that she made a tragic decision
because I turned away from her, or because my agency
pressured her financially. Aside from both of us being actors,
we were just a normal couple. We dated with genuine
feelings and later broke up. As time passed. After that,
(06:11):
we barely kept in contact. Like most former couples, it's
difficult to stay in touch. We were both public figures,
and when the deceased was still under the same agency,
I had some idea of how she was doing, which
made it even more complicated. That's also why I couldn't
easily reach out after her DUI incident. I heard from
(06:33):
a YouTube channel representing her family that her last agency
CEO claimed she was suffering because of me, but to
my knowledge, she was in a relationship with someone else
at the time. That's why I was especially careful. I
didn't know what to say to her while we were
living separate lives. You may think this all sounds like excuses,
(06:53):
I too often just wanted to stay quiet no matter
what the world said. I've always received overwhelming love, but
that also comes with misunderstandings. False information spreads like it's
the truth. But I thought that too, is something I
must endure. However, her family is now saying that because
(07:14):
I was her ex boyfriend, I drove her to her death.
They're even demanding I confess to things I never did,
that I groomed her from when she was a minor,
that I pressured her with money, that I caused her death,
so I must be a murderer. Please listen to this
audio recording. After her family revealed our relationship, the YouTube
(07:35):
channel released testimony from the head of her last agency.
They claimed my agency pressured her with a second certified
debt notice, but in a phone call from a year ago,
the same person said something entirely different. I ask you
to listen for.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yourselves, mean chicken something.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Then go the lady she could struck your mingos and
your check up and check up and tap the lady
(08:27):
China to take all chicanos. Are you okay, cappand you're
doing the Q has a the j cap contry to
hang on to ches and work care and you check out?
(08:53):
Oh you casso fel incentered? Oh tell me when I someone.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I learned more through this controversy, and the truth about
that second certified notice is now clear. I don't know
why the former CEO of her last agency is now
saying things completely contrary to that earlier call. If I've
done anything wrong, I'll admit it. If I need to
take responsibility, I will. But I can't say I did
(09:26):
something I didn't do. The voice recordings presented by the
family were all made after this controversy started, just like
the cucau talk messages they initially released. Those cucou talk
messages contained too many inaccuracies to have been written by
the deceased. The messages said they were from twenty sixteen,
but the attached photo is from twenty nineteen. The age
(09:48):
difference is wrong. The name and duration of her contract
with the agency are also incorrect, and the deceased never
did casting or visual directing work at our agency. She
only worked as an actress. Recently, the family held a
press conference and revealed another set of cocaw talk messages
allegedly between me and the deceased. That same YouTube channel
(10:11):
used those messages to label me a PD file and
accuse me of grooming a minor, but the person talking
to her in the twenty sixteen messages is not the
same as in twenty eighteen. To prove this, I submitted
the twenty sixteen and twenty eighteen messages, along with recent
cocau Talk conversations with my acquaintances for scientific analysis. The
(10:33):
Forensic Institute concluded that the person in the twenty sixteen
and twenty eighteen messages is not the same individual. This
was the hardest part. Every time we responded to their claims,
they would release new audio clips. They manipulated the timeline
of photos and videos. They released edited images of cocaw
Talk chats, not the originals. Based on the fact that
(10:57):
I once dated the deceased, fake testimonies and forged evidence
have kept coming. I'll accept all criticism for my choices,
but that doesn't make falsehoods into truth. Just like I
submitted my Cockaw Talk messages for verification, I urge the
family to submit all their so called evidence to the
authorities for a proper investigation. If they truly believe it's genuine,
(11:20):
then let it be examined legally. Even now, I have
people who look up to me, people I am responsible for,
and I've been watching them suffer every day. I don't
know what will be exposed or distorted next to paint
me as a murderer after this press conference. I have
no idea what fake evidence or testimony will be released
(11:40):
to destroy my reputation and hurt the people around me.
But if I give into their coercion and callize the truth,
I would be betraying not only myself as a person,
but everyone who ever trusted and loved the star Kim Suhyun.
I'd be telling them you loved garbage, you were fooled.
I would leave behind wounds that never heal. No matter
(12:02):
how much of a public mask I wear as a celebrity.
That is something I cannot do. I will take full
responsibility for the things I did. I will accept any criticism,
but I will not take responsibility for things I did
not do. For the sake of everyone who still believes
in me, I had to speak that truth. I'm not
(12:23):
asking you to believe me. I promise to prove it.
Thank you. Then, his legal representative said, as you just heard,
actor Kim su hun has spoken directly about this matter.
I will now make an announcement on behalf of the
agency in line with his personal statement. Kim sue hyun
and his agency, Bold Medalist, have decided to take legal
(12:46):
action to clarify the facts. Our law firm has filed
a criminal complaint with the Gondam Police Station against the
individual's claiming to be family members, including an unnamed person
identifying herself as the deceased Sant, as well as the
operators of the YouTube channel Garrosio Institute for defamation through
the spread of false information via the Internet. We have
(13:08):
attached the forensic reports as supporting evidence. We have also
submitted a civil lawsuit to the Soul Central District Court
seeking twelve billion Korean wands approximate nine million US dollars
in compensation for financial damages and emotional distress caused to
Kim su jyun and his agency. We ask for your
understanding regarding our decision to forego a Q and A session.
(13:30):
Since legal proceedings are now underway. The matter is officially
under investigation and must be handled through judicial processes. As
the legal representatives of Kim su hyun and his agency,
we kindly request your patience and understanding. During the press conference,
netizens noticed that Kim su jyun referred to himself as
(13:50):
Star Kim Su jyun, especially when comparing it to human
Kim su jyunt. Soon start him too. Netizen's hit back
at the sudden outburst in use of star, as many
thought it seemed like a joke. Many didn't get why
he used this wording in such a serious press conference
(14:12):
and that his voice seemingly raised as he did lmao.
Bro just shouted star Kim suhyun in the middle of
his press con? Is this a joke? He'd be yapping
so much except for apologizing to the deceased and did
not talk about his own lawsuit to the deceased family
at all. Why does he keep calling himself Star Kim
suhyun like they're not the same person? Does Bro think
(14:33):
he has an alter ego? In particular, the actor was
criticized for his behavior at the press conference in his tears,
which they thought meant he was playing the victim, and
that it seemed like he was playing a role in
a K drama rather than genuine emotion. For the scale
of the controversy, some even called his tears fake and
made references to his K drama Queen of Tears. Can
(14:54):
someone explain what's going on? As Kim suhyun just crying
without saying anything, or he said something already. I don't
want Kim su hyuin to harm himself, But something about
his press conference didn't feel sincere. It felt like he
was acting. Even if he didn't have an underage relationship
with her, he was still wrong for befriending her at
fifteen and waiting until she was of age to date her.
(15:17):
That alone is unsettling, But what truly speaks volumes about
his character is how he treated her when she needed
him the most. He didn't even show up to the
funeral of someone who loved him, someone he was intimate with,
Yet just four days later, he had no problem attending
ge Dragon's party. That says everything. While she was hurting,
(15:39):
while she was pleading for help, he ignored her when
the public turned against her after she posted that photo.
He let her take all the hate alone. He denied
their relationship, distancing himself to protect his career while she suffered,
And now suddenly he cares. Now he's apologizing not because
(16:00):
he genuinely regrets his actions, but because he got caught
and has no choice. Where was this concern when she
was alive, when she was being torn apart by the public.
Oh that's right. He was busy enjoying his success from
Queen of Tears. His paycheck and reputation mattered more than
the well being of someone he claimed to love. She
(16:21):
would have never done that to him. She would have
shouldered the burden with him, But he left her to
suffer alone. That is the real betrayal. That's why he's
suing her family. He denied that he's dating her and
made her look like the delusional, pathetic girlfriend till she's
gone and everyone believed him, and now has the audacity
to come in with few tears and act in front
(16:42):
of all of us like we are stupid idiots. What
an embarrassment does he call the circus of press conference?
What a shameless guy? Of course there were people supporting
him no matter what. I will stay with you and
wait for your come back with your brightest smile. Everyone,
Can we please stop cyber bullying? Please? No one is
in a position to judge or say anything. We don't
(17:03):
know them in person. I'm not taking sides. I just
want to understand. The other party came out with evidence,
and we of course accused Kash for all his wrongdoings
and the criticism in all We're all flying. Now he
has come with his own evidence, but like no one
even wants to hear him out.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Why.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I'm honestly not one to take sides till the end
of the whole thing. But isn't it a bit biased
that even the whole comment section is saying he's acting?
What if it's genuine? I don't know, men, but the
lawsuit has sparked outrage among Korean nedicines, many of whom
find it disturbing that Kim su hyun would take legal
action against the bereaved family. Some even pointed out the
(17:41):
similarities between this lawsuit and the claims that the actor
and his agency Gold Medalist attempted to extort money from
Kim Seheran after her DUI. So this is what they
did to the child Kim Sehran back then too? Are
they even human? This is beyond the worst? How much
lower can they go? Since a lawsuit is finally happening,
I guess all the evidence will come out now did
(18:04):
they threaten the deceased like this too? So Kim su
hyun did not only try to force Seharon to pay
an insane amount of money he knew she couldn't pay now.
He also wants to sue her family for an insane
amount of money too. He needs to pass away dead ass.
Also what grabbed people's attention was that the reporters who
filled the conference hall to the brim were not allowed
(18:25):
to ask any questions. They were only there to listen
and report on what the actor and his lawyer said. However,
one brave reporter did not settle and still demanded an
answer from Kim su hyun. As the actor wrapped up
his statement and made his closing remarks, she could be
heard demanding an answer from him regarding Kim seharan and
their relationship.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Haven't seen nayo, don't have been done today?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Even though the reporter's voice could be heard loud and
clear over the camera flashes, Kim su hyun did not respond.
He ignored the question and instead bowed to those present.
Still in tears, The actor then walked off as his
lawyer consoled him by patting his back. The clip has
already gone viral on multiple social media platforms. Korean and
(19:19):
international medicines are praising the reporter for breaking the no
questions rule to demand a clear answer from Kim su jyun. Meanwhile,
the actor is facing backlash for ignoring her and choosing
to not respond. Kim suhyun, can you tell us when
and how you first met Kim Sehran? I'm sure you
can tell us that much. Him just leaving like that
is just so funny, because why did you even hold
(19:41):
a press conference Kim su hyun and his agency taking
no questions from the press because he literally would not
be able to answer why he was messaging a fifteen
year old, why he sent her letters while he was
at the military, and why he leaked her number to
the reporters when she asked for help. After the press conference,
Garro Siero Research Institute quickly released a video allegedly from
(20:02):
twenty eighteen, where she was only eighteen years old. The
video was of Kim sue hyin eating the food that
she had cooked. Garro Sierro Research Institute further explained that
in twenty eighteen, Kim sehirn had coincidentally also been interviewed
after attending a school for cooking. She was interviewed after
the classes, and the interview was uploaded on June twentieth,
(20:25):
two thy eighteen by Korea Cooking Academy. In the interview,
she mentioned that she started cooking at home and for
the people around her. Not only this, but forensics showed
that the video of Kim sue hin eating her cooked
meal was from twenty eighteen. In the video, Kim Seiran
can be seen asking for his review on her food.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Dah ada singael by zeal No, I'm done.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
They Garrosira Research Institute further released photos of Kim suhyun
and Kim Seheran. Previously, it was insinuated that the pair
went on a holiday to a ski resort together in
twenty eighteen. Kim Sehirn was only eighteen years old then.
(21:22):
In the released photos, the pair can be seen wearing
ski goggles, ski suits, and masks. While Kim suhyun remained
covered up, Kim Seharn took her mask off for photos together.
A photo of Kim Seharan sleeping on what is alleged
to be Kim Suhin's bed was also released, although it
is unspecified how they knew. Garroserra Research Institute claimed that
(21:44):
the pillow was identical to the one Kim Suhyun uses
at home. After looking at all the new content, fans
became even angrier about the lies that he said at
the press conference, not even a mere few hours before
the new videos and pictures. The evidence is overwhelming. Searn
is way too young. Stop bringing up pathetic cockau talk,
message analysis or whatever. If Kim su hiyun didn't date her,
(22:09):
show us proof. The comparison is just too stark. How
long are you going to keep lying even with all
this evidence coming out? Not a single apology. Instead, it's
all about that eight point sixteen million US dollars nonsense.
What are your thoughts? Thank you for watching and seeing
you next time.
