On March 18, Star News obtained a copy of the second certified letter that the gold medal sent to Kim Sae-Sign. This letter, dated 25 March 2024, was entitled “Legal representation for the refund of debt and requests relating to the business”. He was sent the day after Kim Sae-Sore uploaded a photo of herself by touching her cheeks with Kim Soo-Hyun on her personal SNS.
The letter, issued by the legal representative of the Lkb & Partners gold medal, declared: “As a legal representative of the gold medal (hereinafter below how “our customer company”), we are informing you of the management issues of the appointed legal representative relating to the refund of the debt. Furthermore, we educately ask to refrain from engaging in any action that can interrupt the company operations of our client company and its affiliates. “
Lkb & Partners also explained why they had sent the first certified letter on March 15, 2024, exhorting Kim Sae-Sign to repay the debt. “If the reimbursement deadline for the loan is approved and the debt is not collected, the managers of our customer company could be held responsible for violation of the duty. As a legal representative responsible for the management of the compliance of our customer company, we have not had no choice but to request a refund and ask for your understanding on this topic. “
The gold medal had previously covered about ₩ 700 million (₩ 686,409,653) in penalties relating to the Netflix drama “Bloodhounds” following the Dui accident of Kim Sae-Se-Sore in 2022. The company then classified this amount as a loan and requested the refund. After receiving the first certified letter, Kim Sae-Sign sent a desperate text message to Kim Soo-Hyun.
Star News confirmed the content of this message, in which Kim Sae-Sore has begged, “I am preparing for my return and I will gradually refund the amount, even if it is a small percentage per project. I’m not saying that I will not pay; I can’t afford to pay ₩ 700 million all at once. It’s not that I don’t do it; I am not simply able to do it. Do we really have to go to court for this? Please save me. I’m imploring you.“
In response, the gold medal sent a second certified letter. In it, said Lkb & Partners, “As for your appeal on reimbursement difficulties, our customer company is open to discuss flexible terms for the refund program. Provide a reimbursement plan proposed as soon as possible. “
However, the letter also included a rigorous warning, “Furthermore, since this question of reimbursement of debt falls within the jurisdiction of our customer company rather than individual employees or actors, we kindly ask to refrain from contacting the employees or actors of our customer company directly on the matter. “
In addition, the letter referred to the post SNS of Kim Sa-Se-Sme with her and Kim Soo-Hyun and warned, “These actions could significantly interrupt the company operations of our customer company and affiliated. We ask you to refrain from involving any conduct that can interfere with our commercial activities. “
The gold medal has not yet issued an official declaration on the second certified letter.
At a press conference held in front of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency on March 17th, BE Ji-Seok said, a lawyer who represents Kim Sae-S’s family from the Buyou Law Firm, said: “After receiving the first certified letter, Kim Sae-Sign sent a desperate message to Kim Soo-Hyun, asking for help. However, instead of a personal answer, she was accepted with a second certified letter. Although the letter mentioned that they had to emit it due to the concerns about the violation of duty, it was essentially prescribed to resolve the debt within a certain period of time. He also explicitly stated that he should not contact Kim Soo-Hyun or other affiliated actors and that the legal actions would have been taken against her for publishing the photo, an absolutely intimidation tactic. “
Meanwhile, Kim Sae-Se-Se-Se-Sa-See has filed a cause for defamation against YouTuber Lee Jin-Ho, accusing him of disseminating false information that have damaged his reputation. Lee Jin-Ho had previously uploaded multiple videos to Kim Sa-Se-Se-Se-Se-Se-Sa-Sa-2022.
On March 17, Lee Jin-Ho replied through his YouTube channel, “I intend to demonstrate my innocence. If I find myself responsible, I will not avoid any consequences. However, I also have evidence that I have not yet revealed. I will present these tests to the investigative authorities to correct any disinformation. “
