Throughout the press convention, Kim Soo Hyun apologized and denied all allegations, together with the KakaoTalk message proof introduced by the late Kim Sae Ron’s household at their current press convention, stating that his relationship with Kim Sae Ron passed off 5 years in the past for a interval of about one 12 months.
Hi there, that is Kim Soo Hyun.
First, I apologize.
Plainly so many individuals are struggling due to me, and it breaks my coronary heart that the deceased can not relaxation in peace.
I think about 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 dropping one thing, of being harmed, so I used to be busy operating 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 informed all the pieces from the start? If I had, wouldn’t the followers who cherished 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 personal life with the deceased was uncovered, I stored considering, “Let’s simply inform all the pieces tomorrow. Let’s personally converse up and finish this hellish scenario.” However each time, I hesitated. What affect would my resolution have on these round me? What if the choice makes all the pieces go flawed for myself and everybody else?
It was the identical when the deceased posted a photograph of us collectively throughout 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 couple of 12 months. However at the moment, I denied the courting rumors. I believe it’s pure to criticize me for that selection. I perceive when 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 might be so grateful when you would simply take heed to my story as soon as.
I turned an actor and obtained an amazing quantity of affection. Initially, I wasn’t somebody who had a lot, however I turned somebody with a lot to guard. Even when “Queen of Tears” was airing, there have been so many issues I needed to defend 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 have been up all night time on set, the manufacturing firm that was placing all the pieces on the road for this venture, and our firm employees?
Every time the alternatives of “human Kim Soo Hyun” and “star Kim Soo Hyun” diverged, I believe I at all times made the selection of “star Kim Soo Hyun.” So, I used to be truly afraid every single day. I used to be afraid of what would occur if all the pieces 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 all the pieces. However even when I may return to when “Queen of Tears” was airing, I might 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 comfy. I assumed that was the accountability that somebody who selected the lifetime of Kim Soo Hyun has to bear. I’ll settle for any criticism when you name that selection cowardly or egocentric. And I apologize to everybody who has cared for me.
Even at this second, I’ve a whole lot 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 individual, I assumed I needed to converse 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, possibly my personal 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 images they’d add tomorrow, what they’d expose. And I wouldn’t have been humiliated by having images of my personal life leaked. However I couldn’t try this. I couldn’t settle for being threatened and compelled to confess that lies have 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. Except for the truth that we have been each actors, we have been each simply abnormal 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 have been cautious to contact one another individually after breaking apart. We have been each actors who have 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 remaining 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 scenario, I used to be cautious about contacting her. We have been already residing our personal lives, and I didn’t know what to say. My phrases might sound like excuses. I additionally wished to only keep quiet it doesn’t matter what the world mentioned.
I at all times obtain a whole lot of misunderstandings as a lot as I obtain extreme love. Issues that aren’t true additionally flow into as if they’re true. I assumed that was additionally one thing I needed to bear. However the deceased’s household is claiming that I drove the deceased to her dying 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 remaining company. In a newly recorded name after the publicity, this individual mentioned that our company pressured the deceased about her money owed by sending a second certificates of contents relating to 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 fully completely different. Please take heed to it as soon as.
I realized about this via 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 remaining company is mendacity, saying one thing fully completely different from the decision a 12 months in the past. I’ll admit to something I did flawed. I believe it’s a should to take accountability for something I’ve to take accountability for. However I can’t say that I did one thing I didn’t do. The audio testimonies that the household is claiming have 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 details on this KakaoTalk to say that the deceased wrote it. The picture that was mentioned to be from 2016 was truly from 2019. Additionally, the deceased couldn’t have been flawed concerning the age distinction between us. As well as, she couldn’t have been flawed concerning the title 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 means of a current 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 by utilizing the statements within the KakaoTalk conversations from 2016 as proof. Nonetheless, the one who is speaking to the deceased within the KakaoTalk dialog from 2016 and the KakaoTalk dialog from 2018 are completely different folks.
To show this truth, 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. Consequently, the company concluded that the folks in 2016 and 2018 are usually not the identical individual, as you possibly can see.
Probably the most painful factor for the reason that household’s publicity started was this. When my company and I launch our stance on the household’s proof, a newly recorded testimony is abruptly launched. Photographs and movies that subtly change the timing of the incident, and edited KakaoTalk photographs that aren’t the unique, are introduced as proof. False testimonies and false proof are persevering with beneath the pretext that I dated the deceased.
I’ll settle for any criticism for the alternatives I made. However that doesn’t imply that all the pieces that isn’t true turns into true. Simply as I’ve taken verification procedures for KakaoTalk, I’ll take procedures to totally confirm all the pieces that the household is presenting as proof via investigative businesses. If the proof that the household has is basically true, I request that they submit all the information to the investigative company and be verified via authorized procedures.
Even at this second, I’ve people who find themselves solely me and who I’ve to take accountability for. I’m seeing these folks struggling and collapsing every single day. I’m afraid of what is going to be uncovered and distorted once more in the present day to border me as a assassin. I don’t know what sort of pretend proof and pretend 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 additionally 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 sporting 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 positively 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 legal complaints and civil lawsuits towards the events concerned with the intention to make clear the details. They’ve entrusted this matter to our legislation agency. In response to their request, our legislation agency filed a criticism in the present day towards 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 beneath the Act on Promotion of Info and Communications Community Utilization and Info Safety, and so forth. The criticism contains the emotional evaluation report talked about earlier by actor Kim Soo Hyun.”
