Previously, Ko Sang Rok published diaries that were attributed to Kim Soo Hyun, in which the actor repeatedly mentioned his girlfriend and plans to go out with her, thereby confirming that the person he dated was not Kim Sae Ron.
According to the lawyer, Kim Soo Hyun's letter to Kim Sae Ron is just one of many letters he wrote to close friends, and cannot be considered evidence of a relationship.
Regarding the information that Kim Sae Ron visited Kim Soo Hyun at his private home during his military service, lawyer Ko explained: this house is also the residence of his brother Kim Soo Hyun - who is also the chairman of the management company Gold Medalist and an important advisor in the actor's career. Kim Sae Ron has always known and been close to his brother Kim Soo Hyun, so the visit was just a coincidence. At that time, the actor's brother was also present and chatted with Kim Sae Ron for about 30 minutes.
The lawyer emphasized that many artists, including Kim Soo Hyun, often choose to meet friends at home instead of in public places to keep themselves private. It is normal for many colleagues or friends, including celebrities, to visit Kim Soo Hyun's house and have evidence to record it, even if it is not convenient to announce it.
These allegations (ie dating when Kim Sae Ron was a minor) caused serious damage, similar to an online bullying case, Ko Sang Rok affirmed.
He concluded: Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were just colleagues during their military service, and there was absolutely no relationship.
