The company added that it had reviewed Kim Sae Ron's mother's statement made public during the broadcast on March 14. The Gold Medalist side expressed their understanding of the actor's late mother's feelings for her pain of losing her child, and expressed their deep condolences.
Gold Medalist sympathized with Kim Sae Rons mothers criticism of the way the media reported it and said Kim Soo Hyun is also being negatively affected by Garoseros reports.
However, Gold Medalist pointed out that in Kim Sae Ron's mother's statements, there are some points that do not match Kim Soo Hyun's point of view.
The company hopes to meet Kim Sae Ron's mother to directly clarify the unclear information: "We understand that there may be truths that you do not know. Public debate to clarify the right and wrong is not a suitable solution to restore the honor of the late artist, nor is it the best way to comfort the late artist's mother.
Our leadership would like to meet you to clearly explain the situation. We are grateful that you can contact the Gold Medalist office at any time.
Previously, YouTube channel Garosero, based on documents provided by Kim Sae Ron's family, accused Kim Soo Hyun of dating the late actor since she was a teenager, a relationship that lasted 6 years, from 2015 to 2021.
But in a statement on March 14, Gold Medalist confirmed that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron dated from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020, when Kim Sae Ron was old enough to mature.
