On the evening of March 30, Korean media simultaneously reported that Kim Soo Hyun's management company - Gold Medalist - announced that the actor will hold a press conference at 4:30 p.m. on March 31 (ie 2:30 p.m. Vietnam time) at Stanford Hotel, Mapo District, Seoul.
The company said: First of all, we apologize for making people worried about recent incidents. We decided to hold this press conference to meet in person and make an official statement.
At the press conference, Kim Soo Hyun will be present with legal representative Kim Jong Bok of LK & Partners law firm. However, the press conference did not have a question-and-answer session but only an official statement from Kim Soo Hyun.
Previously, YouTube channel Garosero launched livestreams accusing Kim Soo Hyun of dating the late actor Kim Sae Ron for 6 years, when she was a minor (2025-2021). Garosero accused Kim Soo Hyun based on evidence provided by Kim Sae Ron's family.
Initially, Kim Soo Hyun denied dating Kim Sae Ron, but later changed his stance, the actor dated Kim Sae Ron from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020, when she was old enough to mature.
Kim Sae Ron's family held a press conference on March 27, maintaining the accusation that Kim Soo Hyun was dating minors, through evidence of his affectionate messages with Kim Sae Ron since 2016.
Kim Sae Ron's family asked Kim Soo Hyun to apologize for dating minors, as well as admit responsibility for the past 3 years of media manipulation, and the act of demanding 700 million won from Kim Sae Ron, which made her desperate.
After 20 days since the scandal broke out, Kim Soo Hyun only spoke through the management company. This was the first time he spoke directly.
