On March 17, a video entitled “My position on the cause … I will reveal the truth until the end” was loaded on the Lee Jin-Ho YouTube channel.
In the video, Lee Jin-Ho said, “On March 16, the family of Kim Sae-Sore announced that he had filed a cause against me. I also want to share my position on this topic. “
As he recognized the pain of the Kim Sae-So-S mourning family, he underlined, “However, there are too many discrepancies in fact. I am making this video to correct these misunderstandings. “
Lee Jin-Ho refuted the statements that Kim Sae-Se and Kim Soo-Hyun denied the report of Kim Sae-Hyun. He said, “I never said their relationship was manufactured. If I had initially said that he had been staged, I wouldn’t even report. Legal representatives and the family are contradicting each other. “
Lee Jin-Ho defended his coverage of Kim Sae-Sign. He explained that his four videos on her were simply the result of further investigative relationships. He also asked why the family had not taken any action against other media who had reported similar stories.
As for the criticisms that he tried to contact Kim Sae-Sme during their mourning period, Lee Jin-Ho explained, explained “I keep my position that I’m sorry for the family. However, I hope people do not use provocative formulation such as “check the columbarium position”. On February 21, I visited Kim Sae-S’s rest place to pay homage. There, a member of the Columbarium staff informed me that the family had moved his remains elsewhere, which led me to contact his father. I simply wanted to say a final farewell. “
He also protected against the accusations of having harassed the family during their mourning period, saying: “There is a distorted narrative that suggests that I called the family only to confirm the position of the Columbarium. The statement I contacted “during their mourning” in a harmful way is completely false “.
Lee Jin-Ho also expressed frustration for the fact that his refutations and clarifications had been largely ignored, affirming, “Since this controversy started, I have continually explained my position through the posts and videos of my community every time they have occurred suspicious and critical. However, my counterstands have not been adequately transmitted. If only unilateral requests from channels such as Garo Sero Research Institute continue to dominate the narrative, I will have no choice but to also take legal actions. “
He concluded, “It’s not that I miss the tests and I’m choosing not to reveal it. I simply do not want to encourage ridicule and hatred as Garo Sero Research Institute does. In addition, out of respect for the deceased, I remained silent despite the strong criticisms directed to me. “
Previously, Boo Ji-Seok, legal representative of the Kim Sa-Se-Ron family from the Boo Yoo law firm, made an announcement. He said they would officially present a cause of defamation against Lee Jin-Ho on March 17th.
Since 2022, Lee Jin-Ho has uploaded videos to Kim Sae-Sore, which the family supports contain false information. In particular, they claim that his statement on the report of Kim Sae-Se-Se-Seo-Hyun is a “manufacture” is completely false. They declare that this accusation is a key reason for the cause.
