March 18, KST, actor Kim Soo Hyunagency, Gold medalhas released a long statement, confiring the statements made by the deceased actress Kim Sae RonThe family during a press conference on March 17, KST.
“Hi, this is gold medal.
Our position on the second certified letter that has been sent
The Mourning Family said that the second certified letter that was sent on March 25, 2024, said that “if you publish photos similar to that published on March 24 or contact any of the Agency’s actors, it will have to compensate for any damage suffered by the dramatic queen of tears”. The original certified mail is attached to this declaration.
As seen by the certified letter, we have never requested compensation from Kim Sae Ron for any damage to the drama. Furthermore, it is not possible to request compensation for the publication of online photos or contact with other actors at the Agency.
We sent the second certified letter to provide more information on the first certified letter. As previously stated, we sent the letter to inform you that the debt that had to be not yet collected and eliminate the possibility of the descent of our managers. This is from the first certified letter sent on March 15, 2024.
However, on March 24, Kim Sae Ron sent a message to Kim Soo Hyun and published a photo on his social media account. The second certified letter was intended to explain why we urged her to repay her debt and reveal our intention to negotiate with her regarding the payment of her debt. As seen in the second certified letter, we have declared: “If the company does not require the payment of our loan debt, our customer company could be charged with violation of trust” and that our intention was to “proactively discuss the method for reimbursement of debt”.
The mourning family said that the second letter was only a way to buy more time in order to repay its debt. However, as indicated above, the second letter was destined to discuss the reimbursement times with her. It does not contain any request to urge it to reimburse its debt. The reason why he says “to inform your legal representatives of a possible debt reimbursement program” is to demonstrate that the refund of the debt has been requested but has not been collected, as it cannot include that the debt must not be reimbursed. If we had stated that he was not to reimburse the debt, we would exempt it from his debt, which could have caused tax problems.
On March 26, 2024, our legal representative contacted the Kim Sae Ron agency and explained the purpose of the letter. Kim Sae Ron has therefore declared his position regarding the second letter.
‘I would like to express my gratitude for the sincerity you showed me. Obviously I will take responsibility for the damage suffered and I would like to discuss the future payment plan to show my determination to take responsibility for the damages I have to bear. “
As previously stated, the creditor-defecting relationship with the agency and Kim Sae Ron has been resolved. We would like to declare again that we recorded the entire debt amount due as a negative debt (after receiving the audit report on April 1, 2024) without any stress or negotiation regarding the payment.
With this, you can see that we were not intended to put pressure to reimburse the debt from the beginning and the deceased and the family in mourning have never tried to repay the debt since then.
Furthermore, the creditor-defecting relationship of the agency with Kim Sae Ron is under our jurisdiction. Kim Soo Hyun has no authority to inform his position on the matter. For this reason, we had to refrain from contacting Kim Soo Hyun as regards the debt in the certified letter. “
We explained to Kim Sae Ron that the refund of debt is not responsibility for the employees or actors of the Agency, but of the customer company, thus asking that he did not contact any of the actors of the Agency regarding the issue.
There are no content in which he says he has to pay damage if he contacts the actors of the agency. However, Garosero distorted the meaning in the relationship, stating that we threatened it if he contacted not only Kim Soo Hyun but also anyone from the agency. However, we did not make these requests and later contacted the actors freely.
When Kim Sae Ron published the photo on social media on March 24, he was aired by “Queen of Tears”. At least 50 articles were poured from 2:14 to 11, when our company revealed our official position. We informed Kim Sae Ron that impulsive actions could influence all parties involved, including the dramatic production company, actors, transmission station and more. We never pushed him to pay for damage.
Our position on YouTuber Lee Jin Ho
Kim Sae Ron’s contract with the gold medal expired in November 2022. Subsequently, he was working with a different entertainment company. The manager who Garo Sero Research Institute said he was connected to YouTuber Lee Jin Ho is actually affiliated to that other company and is not an employee of the gold medal. Despite this, Garo Sero Research Institute is distorting the facts by making statements carefully formulated to press conferences, such as “We are in the phase of identifying the manager of the Kim Soo Hyun agency, which Lee Jin I called a dear friend“–Te they are designed to avoid legal liability as the public disgusts.
On false facts relating to the actress SEO YE JI
In his report of March 17, said Garo Sero Research Institute (Gaseyeon), based on an anonymous source, that our company has colluded with the media to defame SEO YE JI. This statement is completely false and is based exclusively on an anonymous suggestion. Even the manager who was responsible for SEO YE Ji at the time – now he resigned – was so disconcerted by this statement that they reached us. We strongly invite you to stop disseminating unfounded and irresponsible false information without any proof or responsibility.
The Mourning Family is required to stop disseminating false information
The Mourning Family made many false statements about our agency and Kim Soo Hyun. For example, they said that no visit was made on our side to the deceased funeral. However, we left a condolence garland, we visited the funeral twice on February 17 and February 19 and we also met the family in mourning in person to offer our condolences and we left money for condolences.
Garo Sero Institute referred to the informant that trapped Kim Soo Hyun’s private life as “Aunt of Kim Sae Ron”. However, other media relationships said that the informant is not actually her [biological] aunt. During the press conference, the Mourning Family said: “The mother of the deceased does not have a married sister [aka an aunt]. Instead, the aunt who was recently interviewed is a person like a mother of Sae Ron, even more than her real mother. “They described it as” closer than a real aunt “. In the media, when someone is called an” aunt “, it generally refers to the mother’s sister. Different actor.
The most important aspect of the relationship of an informant is whether the information is true, not the identity of the whistleblower. We are fully aware of this. However, we are lifting the identity of the informant because the Mourning Family declared in their press conference that “targeting a family member is a big mistake”. Yet they also shared Kim Soo Hyun’s private photos without his consent. These photos, which had previously been revealed in a transmission with Kim Sae Ron, were taken in a house where she moved after becoming an adult. They have no link with [minor] The temporal sequence of the alleged relationship supported by the family in mourning. Despite this, the Mourning Family justified their actions under the remains of “Mira a member of the family is a serious mistake” and has illegally disclosed Kim Soo Hyun’s private life. Garo Sero Institute also fueled the situation by repeating the release of new photos repeatedly and exaggerating the context of them with their provocative language. The Mourning Family cited the media coverage of the deceased’s private life as one of the reasons behind his disappearance. In this case, do we have to ask, what exactly are the family in mourning and Garo Sero Institute in Kim Soo Hyun now?
The Garo Sero Institute has again affirmed on YouTube that Kim Soo Hyun attended Kim Sae Ron when he was a minor, using a photo published on June 23, 2017, by a SNS account for Kim Sae Ron as trial. However, the person in the photo is not Kim Soo Hyun, but someone else. They claimed that the outfit worn by the person in the photo remembers a product Kim Soo Hyun model. However, the jacket in the photo and the only advertised Kim Hyun Hyun come from different brands.
Even if the published photo has become a hot topic, we have not heard the need to respond to unfounded suspicions from an image in which the person’s face is not even recognizable. However, the Mourning Family is now using this photo without a face as a tests to say that Kim Soo Hyun often visited the apartment in which Kim Sae Ron lived with his family when he was a minor and who met secretly when his family was not at home. Kim Soo Hyun has never been to the apartment that Garo Sero Institute visited, indicating a specific lift and saying: “This is that”. The only people who went there were Garo Sero Institute, not Kim Soo Hyun.
The Mourning family illegally revealed Kim Soo Hyun’s private life simply because the term “closest to a biological aunt” has been mentioned. Furthermore, they had never previously affirmed that Kim Soo Hyun often visited Kim Sae Ron’s family home when he was a minor or that they met secretly there. But as soon as that photo attracted attention, suddenly they started making these accusations. We invite you to stop creating unfounded accusations, using a single unrelated photo or an arbitrary online post to distort the truth and manipulate the narrative. “
– Gold medal
