Kim Soo hyun held a press conference to respond to the contr

On the afternoon of March 31st local time, South Korean actor Kim Soo hyun held a press conference in Seoul to publicly address the controversy surrounding his relationship with the late actress Kim Se lun and apologize to the public for the first time. The holding of this press conference has been 21 days since the South Korean self media "Yokosuke Research Institute" revealed that Kim Soo hyun had a relationship with the underage Kim Se lun. ​

At the press conference, Kim Soo hyun admitted to having had a relationship with Kim Sai lun, but firmly denied starting a romantic relationship during his juvenile stage. Kim Soo hyun stated that the two started dating in 2020 and their relationship lasted for over a year. I started dating the deceased four years before the broadcast of 'Queen of Tears' (2020), and it lasted for over a year. At that time, I denied the fact of our relationship, and it was only natural for me to be criticized for it. If someone doesn't want to believe what happened between me and her, I can understand

During his speech, Kim Soo hyun was emotional and choked up several times, openly stating that he looked like a coward. "It took me a long time to stand here. Whenever my private life is exposed, I always think, 'Let's talk about it tomorrow and end this hellish day.'" Regarding his denial of his relationship, he explained that as a celebrity, he had too many things to protect, so he was full of worry and fear when facing the exposure of his relationship. ​

In addition, Kim Soo hyun denied the claim of pressuring Kim Sedol to repay a debt of 700 million Korean won, insisting that this statement is untrue. ​

Looking back at the incident, on the 10th of this month, the "Horizontal and Vertical Research Institute" revealed that Kim Soo hyun started dating 15-year-old Kim Sai lun in 2015 and their relationship lasted for 6 years, which instantly caused a public uproar. A few days later, GOLD MEDALIST, the agency of Kim Soo hyun, released a statement acknowledging their relationship, but pointed out that the dating period was from the summer of 2019 to the autumn of 2020, when Kim Sai lun reached adulthood. On March 27th, the family of Kim Sedol released her chat records with Kim Soo hyun before her death, attempting to prove that Kim Soo hyun had a relationship with Kim Sedol when she was underage. ​

With Kim Soo hyun's response at the press conference, this incident may enter a new stage, and the subsequent development deserves continued attention.
