Kim
Soo
Hyun
Controversy
UPDATE:
A
New
Lawsuit
Filed
Against
Kim
Sae
Ron’s
Family
As
per
Koreaboo’s
report,
Kim
Soo
Hyun’s
legal
team
filed
a
fresh
lawsuit
on
June
23,
2025.
This
lawsuit
was
filed
against
Garosero
Institute
operator
Kim
Se
Ui
and
the
family
of
late
actress
Kim
Sae
Ron.
The
actor’s
legal
team
called
out
the
allegations
as
“baseless.”
They
addressed
the
charges
that
stem
after
Kim
Se
Ui’s
press
conference
held
earlier
this
year.
As
per
the
official
statement
by
Kim
Soo
Hyun’s
legal
team,
LKB
&
Partners,
Kim
Se
Ui
and
Kim
Sae
Ron’s
family
spread
false
information
and
accused
the
actor
of
false
claims.
The
statement
read,
“Kim
Se
Ui
and
the
late
Kim
Sae
Ron’s
family
went
beyond
merely
spreading
false
information
based
on
a
forged
audio
file,
they
even
filed
a
criminal
complaint
against
actor
Kim
Soo
Hyun,
accusing
him
of
false
charges
and
violations
of
the
Child
Welfare
Act.
This
is
a
clear
and
serious
case
of
false
accusation
(sic).”
The
legal
team
further
assured
that
they
will
take
all
that
it
takes
in
order
to
hold
Kim
Sae
Ron’s
family
and
Kim
Se
Ui
accountable.
The
statement
further
read,
“Gold
Medalist
and
actor
Kim
Soo
Hyun
have
taken
swift
legal
action
by
filing
this
additional
lawsuit
and
criminal
complaint
against
Kim
Se
Ui
and
the
family
of
the
late
Kim
Sae
Ron.
We
will
do
everything
we
can
to
ensure
that
they
are
held
fully
accountable
under
the
law
and
according
to
due
process.”
As
per
the
rumors,
Kim
Soo
Hyun
is
taking
this
step
as
he
is
facing
severe
financial
loss
because
of
the
lawsuit
filed
by
several
companies.
Kim
Soo
Hyun
Controversy
Kim
Soo
Hyun
has
been
in
controversy
ever
since
the
death
of
Kim
Sae
Ron.
The
actress
allegedly
committed
suicide
in
February,
2025.
Kim
Soo
Hyun
is
currently
facing
intense
public
scrutiny
following
resurfaced
allegations
linked
to
the
late
actress
Kim
Sae-ron.
A
controversial
claim
made
by
the
YouTube
channel
Garosero
suggests
that
the
two
were
involved
when
Kim
Sae-ron
was
underage,
an
accusation
Kim
has
strongly
denied.
According
to
his
statement,
their
relationship
began
only
after
she
was
legally
of
age.
In
response,
Kim’s
agency,
Gold
Medalist,
has
taken
serious
legal
steps.
They’ve
filed
defamation
and
stalking
complaints,
while
also
demanding
damages
worth
approximately
12
billion
KRW
(around
USD
8.7
million).
In
a
recent
court
ruling,
properties
worth
4
billion
KRW,
reportedly
belonging
to
Kim
Se-ui
(Garosero’s
operator),
were
temporarily
seized.
The
controversy
has
also
impacted
Kim’s
brand
value.
Several
endorsement
deals
have
been
dropped,
with
some
companies
now
seeking
compensation.
To
counter
the
growing
claims,
Kim’s
legal
team
has
requested
digital
forensic
analysis,
questioning
the
authenticity
of
alleged
evidence,
including
an
audio
clip
tied
to
Kim
Sae-ron.
Professionally,
the
fallout
has
been
harsh-his
upcoming
Disney+
series
Knock
Off
has
been
put
on
hold.
Despite
this,
many
fans
have
shown
support,
filing
their
own
legal
complaints
to
defend
his
name.
