On the afternoon of March 17, Kim Sae Ron's family authorized a lawyer to hold a press conference, thereby revealing more important information related to the relationship between the actress and Kim Soo Hyun.

On the evening of March 17, Top Star News reported that Kim Se Ui - representative of the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute - appeared with Kim Sae Ron's lawyer at a recent press conference.

In an interview with Korean media, Kim Se Ui revealed that there is evidence of a connection between Kim Soo Hyun's manager and former reporter Lee Jin Ho - a YouTuber who is said to have posted many bad clips, causing Kim Sae Ron to fall into a mental crisis. At the same time, Kim Se Ui raised the suspicion that Kim Soo Hyun's manager had revealed Kim Sae Ron's confidential information to YouTuber Lee.

The full statement from Garo Sero Institute is as follows: Lee Jin Ho's biggest mistake was boasting about his close relationship with Kim Sae Ron's two former managers. We investigated and found evidence that these two managers were from Gold Medalist - Kim Soo Hyun's management agency. In the case that Kim Soo Hyun's manager frequently contacted Lee Jin Ho, it would be suspicious.

Kim Sae Ron never revealed that she worked part-time at a coffee shop. Yet Lee Jin Ho always knew exactly where she worked. There was a possibility that an 'insider' from the inside leaked the information.

Therefore, we believe that there may be a connection between Lee Jin Ho and Kim Soo Hyun's side. And the important link in this connection is Kim Sae Ron's two former managers - these are people Lee Jin Ho boasts are close friends, coming from Kim Soo Hyun's unit.

Earlier, on the afternoon of March 17, Kim Sae Ron's family announced that they had filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Lee Jin Ho for defamation. While Kim Sae Ron was still alive, Lee Jin Ho posted many videos aimed at the actress, causing her to be extremely miserable and suicidal up to 6 times a day. By the evening of the same day, YouTuber Lee spoke out against Kim Sae Ron's family. The former entertainment reporter said that he had never said that the relationship between Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun was fake. At the same time, Lee Jin Ho also threatened the Garo Sero Institute - the spokesperson for the deceased's family.

In addition, according to the lawyer, Kim Soo Hyun's agency sent two letters confirming Kim Sae Ron's debt, threatening her not to contact Kim Soo Hyun or other actors from this agency directly, threatening to take legal action. After that, Kim Sae Ron did not receive any news from Kim Soo Hyun and could not contact other actors in the Gold Medalist agency.

On the afternoon of March 18, Gold Medalist - Kim Soo Hyun's management agency suddenly posted a long statement, refuting the accusations from Kim Sae Ron's family and the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute. According to Gold Medalist, the audit report on April 1, 2024 showed that Kim Sae Ron's debt was settled on December 31, 2023.

The second debt collection letter that Kim Sae Ron's family revealed at the press conference on the afternoon of March 16 was simply a notice of legal procedures, discussing the agreement on possible payment methods and times, and did not contain any content requiring immediate debt repayment. In addition, this unit affirmed that it did not prohibit Kim Sae Ron from contacting actors and managers, and that the actress was completely free to contact her colleagues.

Regarding the allegations that Kim Soo Hyun dated Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor, the actor's side still maintains its stance. In addition, this unit also attended Kim Sae Ron's funeral, sent wreaths and expressed condolences to the family.
