In a video of May 2nd published on YouTube Channel Lee Jin-Ho entertainment presidententitled “Kim Soo-Hyun ended …? Shot for ₩ 5.8 billion krw from advertisers, what will pay?”Kim Kyung-Nam, a lawyer of Law Firm for youthe situation is underway.
The cause derives from Accusations according to which Kim Soo-Hyun attended Kim Sae-Sra while he was a minor. The lawyer Kim explained that although the statements have aroused ethical debates, they probably do not satisfy the legal threshold for violation of the contract or financial liability.
“Even if the report has occurred, it is important to note that pursuant to the Korean law at the time, only sexual relations with minors of 13 years have been criminalized” he said.
“It is not enough to say that there were public disputes”, Kim stressed. “You must demonstrate that the advertising campaign has been negatively influenced in a measurable way and that Kim Soo-Hyun acted with intent or negligence. The burden of proof lies with advertisers.”
He also highlighted the times: “If the report began after both were adults in 2019 and the scandal broke out much later, then the real problem is for those who have spread not verified statements, not Kim Soo-Hyun himself.”
Among the speculation that the family of Kim Sae-Sore or Garo Sero Research Institute Head Kim Se -Ui He may have spread the accusations, Kim Kyung-Nam observed that if the statements of appointments are demonstrated false or exaggerated, those parts could face themselves the defamation or responsibility.
The lawyer concluded by reaffirming his legal opinion: “Unless there is clear and eligible evidence to the court that Kim Soo-Hyun has consciously engaged in a report that has violated the legal or contractual standards, it is unlikely that it is forced to pay damage from 5.8 billion KRW.“
While the public awaits greater clarity, Kim Soo-Hyun’s legal team has remained silent and the burden of the test now moves to advertisers and those behind the original accusations.
