The controversy over the dating timing between Kim Soo Hyun and the late actor Kim Sae Ron is getting fierce.
On May 7, lawyer Bu Ji Seok - legal representative of Kim Sae Ron's family, and Kim Se Ui - owner of YouTube channel Garosero - held a press conference, providing new evidence to accuse Kim Soo Hyun of dating Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor.
The actor's family released a recording provided by a person believed to be an acquaintance of Kim Sae Ron in New Jersey (USA) (called A), including a conversation with Kim Sae Ron at a coffee shop in New Jersey in January this year.
In the recording, the person believed to be Kim Sae Ron confirmed that she had dated Kim Soo Hyun since high school, and that the two had sex when Kim Sae Ron was just in grade 8 - 2014.
Lawyer Bu Ji Seok also emphasized that Kim Soo Hyun showed signs of sexual abuse, including showing Kim Sae Ron photos of him having sex with other women.
However, according to Money Today, this information is contradictory to the same evidence previously disclosed by Kim Sae Ron's family at a press conference on March 27.
The text messages released by lawyer Bu Ji Seok at the first press conference showed that, by 2016, Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron had not even had a kiss.
Specifically, the person believed to be Kim Soo Hyun wrote: "After that, kiss me for real. Is that also banned?", "When can I hug you and sleep here"... These contents show that the two have not had sex yet in 2016.
Money Today analyzed that the dating time that Kim Sae Ron's family gave up has also changed many times. Initially, they confirmed that Kim Sae Ron had been dating Kim Soo Hyun since November 2015. But the reliability of this information is declining as Kim Sae Ron's family continuously presented conflicting evidence.
In particular, the recording provided by a man in New Jersey is also being suspected of being staged. Former entertainment reporter and YouTuber Lee Jin Ho held a press conference on the afternoon of May 7 and released an appraisal report showing that the recording was fake.
The analysis results show that this recording was made with an AI voice, after which A added his voice and adds adds the additions to perfect the authenticity, said Lee Jin Ho. AI technology today is amazing.
Lee Jin Ho emphasized that this person was a scammer, not only approaching him but also contacting Kim Soo Hyun to demand a large sum of money. Kim Soo Hyun's side also ignored the offer after verifying that the recording was fake.
A also claimed to have been assaulted by a stranger on May 1, suspected of being involved in Kim Soo Hyun. However, the photo he posted through Garosero was confirmed to be a fake photo, taken from an online photo selling site.
