Kim Soo Hyun And Kim Sae Ron Private Chats Obtained Via 'Forensic Extraction'; Lawyer Claims

Days after Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron’s private chats were leaked, the latter’s family lawyer has now issued a statement claiming that the chats were obtained via ‘forensic extraction’. In a statement that the lawyer issued, he argued that while Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron’s conversation was obtained and submitted to the police as evidence, they will share other details about it in court.

“To prevent any further misunderstandings, we will disclose the contents of the KakaoTalk messages obtained via forensic extraction and submitted to the police as evidence to prove that Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun dated in 2018. Kim Sae Ron’s side has participated diligently in the ongoing investigations, submitting all electronic devices which belonged

to Kim Sae Ron to the police,” the statement read, as quoted by Korean publications.

What Was Revealed In Private Chats?

Last month, the late actress’ mother issued a statement reiterating that the ‘The Queen Of Tears’ star was dating her daughter when she was just a minor. In her statement, the mother also accused Kim Soo Hyun and his legal team of spreading false claims about them and stated that the truth will soon be out via investigation.

The mother also shared a memo allegedly extracted from Kim Soo-hyun’s device. It was dated September 28, 2017, i.e. before Kim Soo Hyun’s military enlistment. She also claimed that ahead of a meeting scheduled for April 12, 2018, Kim Soo Hyun messaged her daughter, “I want to see you immediately,” and added, “I’m completely undressed,” arguing. “This proves they were lovers,” she said.

Kim Soo Hyun Urges For ‘Swift’ Probe

Kim Soo Hyun has been accused of dating the late actress Kim Sae Ron when she was just a minor. While the matter is still in court, the latter’s family made several allegations against Soo Hyun. However, Kim Soo Hyun previously held a press conference and addressed allegations. He said, “I’ll address the biggest concern—I did not date the deceased when she was a minor. We dated five years ago for about a year, long before Queen of Tears aired.”

Recently, Kim Soo-Hyun also urged for a proper and swift investigation into the late actress Kim Sae Ron dating case. The actor’s legal representative, lawyer Ko Sang-rok, shared a statement on his channel stating that the police authorities have already conducted ‘a considerable part of the investigation’ and therefore, they must make ‘swift conclusion’ to the case.

“The police may say that ‘a considerable part of the investigation has been conducted,’ but personally I am concerned about whether that investigation was properly carried out based on the essence and core of the case,” the lawyer said, as quoted by Chosun Biz.

“At this point, seven and a half months after the initial date of the complaint (March 20), there are no plans to seek or request a change to a new investigation team,” he continued, adding, “However, from the victim’s perspective, because excessive time is being taken for remedies, we hope for a swift conclusion to the investigation.”

The lawyer mentioned that the delay in the closure of the case is also spoiling the actor’s reputation. “It was an unavoidable measure to disclose some private records of the actor to correct the public’s distorted perception. As the investigation delay lengthens, speculation spreads and the actor’s reputation is being damaged,” he said.
