Statement by Kim Sae-Ron's mother

"Hello, this is Sae Ron’s mother. After much deliberation, I have gathered the courage to write this message.Our case is currently under investigation. Authorities advised all parties involved to refrain from engaging with the media, and we have respected their recommendation. However, Kim Soo Hyun’s legal representative has continued to upload posts on his YouTube channel, spreading false claims and manipulating public sentiment.I worry that the public may be swayed by false claims and view this case incorrectly. To show that Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun dated when she was a minor, we are releasing part of the evidence we have today. Kim Soo Hyun’s side will continue making the same claims. Whether the evidence is fabricated or not will soon be determined by the investigation.One acquaintance testified that Kim Sae Ron dated Kim Soo Hyun when she was a minor and that when she traveled to Jeju Island with Sae Ron, Kim Soo Hyun personally drove them to the airport.Many acquaintances stated that Kim Sae Ron originally named her cats ‘Patteok’ and ‘Kkuldeok,’ but changed their names to ‘Dal’ and ‘Gureum’ because Kim Soo Hyun had starred in Moon Embracing the Sun. Friends who knew about the relationship in high school would even quiz others who didn’t know, giving hints by singing the drama’s OST. Some testified that Sae Ron referred to Kim Soo Hyun as ‘Dal-nim.The memo was extracted through forensic analysis of Kim Sae Ron’s electronic devices. All evidence with metadata has been retrieved through forensics without any modification.We don’t have much time left (Kim Soo Hyun enlisted on October 23rd, and this memo was written about 25 days prior). Would it be wrong to say I want to spend every day with you until then?It’s not just because you’re going to the military.Things are difficult between us… There are obstacles we have to overcome, and on the surface, that obstacle is me.If you said such things because you genuinely wanted to meet me again, I can wait for you. Or rather, I can just keep liking you.Only people in a romantic relationship would say such things."
