On March 31, actor Kim Soo Hyun held an official press conference to speak out about the recent upheavals related to his relationship with Kim Sae Ron. He denied having a relationship with Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor, and admitted that he was a coward when he didn't dare to speak out sooner, pushing things too far.
Near the end of the press conference, the 37-year-old actor burst into tears and said he was under great pressure from public opinion. However, he did not allow reporters to ask any questions.
Kim Soo Hyun's attitude was put on the scale compared to Kim Sae Ron in 2022, when she was involved in a drunk driving scandal and crashed into a road transformer.
Despite facing fierce criticism, the actress still answered the reporter's difficult questions. In a posted video, she strongly affirmed: "I have never claimed to be in a difficult situation. It's true that I worked part-time and had to pay a very high fine... I can only promise that this will not happen in the future. I apologize".
The clip shows Kim Sae Ron answering questions and quickly getting into her private car, but she still maintains a calm attitude and respects the media.
Right after causing the accident, the young actress realized her mistake, bravely took responsibility and tried to compensate for the damage.
Compared to Kim Sae Ron in the past, some netizens criticized Kim Soo Hyun for his fake, unsincere attitude, deliberately using tears to keep the sympathy of fans. Despite saying he was in a state of depression and panic, the actor still did his makeup and carefully prepared the script for the press conference.
On the other hand, many people think that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron cannot be compared. Especially when it is not possible to conclude the authenticity of the information that Kim Sae Ron's family and Garosero channel published about the actor.
Most recently, Kim Soo Hyun has continuously made unconvincing denials about his relationship with his juniors, despite a series of photos and videos with evidence released by Garosero channel.
On the afternoon of April 2, Kim Soo Hyun's side admitted that the clip of the actor eating and singing karaoke at Kim Sae Ron's house was filmed in 2018. However, he affirmed that at that time, the two were just friends, not lovers.
