According to Korean media reports on April 2, the crew of TV Chosun's "Case file 24" had an interview with a lawyer representing Kim Sae Ron's family.
Accordingly, the unit said: "We have spoken with the lawyer representing Kim Sae Ron's family. They expressed their disappointment when Kim Soo Hyun apologized to the public but did not apologize to Kim Sae Ron's family."
According to Kim Sae Ron's family lawyer: "At least Kim Sae Ron's 8 close friends know that she has had a relationship with Kim Soo Hyun since she was a teenager."
Family lawyer Kim Sae Ron also added that some of these friends are preparing a statement and may consider making it public after watching Kim Soo Hyun's press conference because they felt disappointed.
In another development, also according to Korean media reports on April 2, after Kim Soo Hyun's press conference, Sulli's brother (the late singer who collaborated on films with Kim Soo Hyun) expressed his disappointment.
"Kim Soo Hyun attended my sister's funeral," Sulli said. "But I wondered if he really had the authority. He just seems to be following instructions (meaning Kim Soo Hyun coming as requested by the crew) - the singer's brother added.
Sulli's brother also shared: "I felt like Kim Soo Hyun was uncomfortable, as if someone had sent Kim Soo Hyun there. The funeral home was in the basement, so not many people saw Kim Soo Hyun. No fans were allowed to enter and there were more than 20 bodyguards. Why was Kim Soo Hyun uncomfortable in such a space? ".
When asked by fans why Sulli participated in the controversial film "Real", her brother replied: "I don't know why Sulli agreed to participate. Where is the actor? Is there anyone? Why did director Lee Jung Sub leave the project?... ".
