On March 28, the lawyer Kim Kwang-Sam appeared on Ytn News now to discuss the matter. First of all, he faced the speculation that Disney+ could request a penalty of over 100 billion victories from Kim Soo-Hyun due to difficulties with the production of “Knock-off”.
He explained, “Entertainment contracts generally include production costs. According to reports,” Knock-off “had a production budget of about 60 billion victories and, in general, penalty taxes are fixed by this amount two times.”
However, he underlined that in this case such a high penalty may not be realistic. “When the amount of the penalty becomes excessively large, it cannot always be calculated as simply two or three times the cost of production. If Kim Soo-Hyun was forced to pay an excessive penalty, he could create an unjust situation in which the production company will be useful for the violation. Such cases are rare. Even if this will go to court. Even if this is rare. Even if this is rare. Even if this is rare. Even if this is rare.
As for the dispute, Kim Kwang-Sam has observed, “It is clear that the image of Kim Soo-Hyun has undergone a serious blow. The situation turned into a “game of truth” and into a disordered dispute. The key problem here is that Kim Soo-Hyun attended Kim Sae-Sign. “ He criticized Kim Soo-Hyun’s inconsistent statements, saying: “Initially, his part denied any relationship, but later, they said they started dating after he became an adult. On the basis of the latest revelations, it seems that they were in a relationship when he was still a minor.”
The lawyer clarified that going out with a minor is not illegal in himself. Even if there was physical contact, the laws at the time did not criminalize him, so Kim Soo-Hyun should not have faced legal consequences. However, with evidence that proves to be involved when Kim Sae-Sore was 16 or 17 years old, it is difficult to deny the relationship. It is now in a position in which it has no other choice than to recognize it.
He also claimed that Kim Soo-Hyun and his agency have managed their response badly. “If he had admitted from the beginning that he came out when he was younger, clarified that their relationship was mutual and explained when they left and how they had no further contacts, this situation could not have intensified. However, both he and his agency made mistakes in their management of the problem.”
He concluded, “When someone says a lie, the audience naturally begins to doubt everything else they say. In this sense, Kim Soo-Hyun’s response has been managed badly.”
Initially, when rumors of appointments emerged due to the publication of photos of Kim Sae-Sra while he was alive, said Kim Soo-Hyun’s team, he said “We have no idea what his intentions were behind this.” However, as the suspects of grooming grew, his position changed, claiming that they came out only after he became an adult. So, on March 27, Kim Sae-Se-Se-See-Sae-exposed the KakaoTalk messages since 2016, when he was only 16 years old, suggesting that they had been in contact at that moment. Despite this, Kim Soo-Hyun has not yet responded to the accusations.
