The family of the late Korean actress Kim Sae-ron held a press conference alongside their legal representative, Bu Ji-seok, from the law firm Buyu Law. The actress was found dead at her home in Seoul on the 16th of last month, with the cause of death later determined as suicide.
Shortly after Kim Sae-ron's passing, her family claimed through the YouTube channel Hoverlab that she had allegedly been in a relationship with actor Kim Soo-hyun from 2015, when she was 15, until 2021.

Family releases evidence
According to a report by JTBC News, at the press conference, Bu Ji-seok stated, “The deceased’s private life is being indiscriminately dug up, and the criticism of the bereaved family continues, so we are releasing the relevant evidence in the hope that this will stop,” adding, “We want to put an end to the controversy.”
After the YouTube video surfaced and sparked a huge backlash against Kim Soo-hyun, his agency denied the relationship and pressed criminal charges.
