On the afternoon of April 2, Hankyung reported that Kim Soo Hyun's management company - Gold Medalist - gave an official response regarding the accusations of the family of the late actor Sulli (Choi Jin Ri) about the film "Real".
According to the company, the female lead character Song Yoo Hwa, played by Sulli, had a sleeper scene described in the script, so when casting actors, the film crew clearly stated the requirement to select "actors who can perform nudes scenes".
The script for Real sent to Sulli also included a hot scene, and the character description document Song Yoo Hwa included detailed content about the level of sexiness.
Sulli has a good grasp of the content of the character's sensitive scenes, it is not that she only discussed the hot scenes after accepting the role.
In addition, the company said, When signing the film contract, we clearly stated the terms related to the level of physical exposure. The former artist Choi Jin Ri and her management company (SM Entertainment) carefully reviewed the entire content and decided to accept the role.
Regarding Sulli's brother's affirmation that Sulli was forced to act in a nutzen scene despite having a stunt double, the company explained: "The film crew does not have a "replacement" actor but only a "replacement" actor - not a replacement actor in hot scenes, complex scenes but only the task of supporting the actor's position and movement during filming.
Gold Medalist attached a scene board photo depicting the hot scenes that Sulli had to show. Along with that was an actual confirmation from assistant director Kim Joong Ok and scriptwriter Lee Joon Hyun.
Assistant director Kim Joong Ok said, "The cameback scene was clearly stated in the script, and a set list depicting the actors' acting was prepared before filming.
The script and set list were made into a book and transferred to the actors and their management companies. The filming started with everyone's consent.
The scenes or actions of the characters can change on set, but that is a common thing on any set and can be fixed through discussions between the director and the actors. I can confirm that the filming of the sleeper scene took place without any problems".
The assistant director further explained that SM Entertainment's managers are always present on set, so if there is a problem with the bedside or stunt scene that the actor is forced to perform, it is a problem that Sulli's management company cannot ignore.
"At the time of filming, SM Entertainment never objected, and the filming was never stopped because the actors complained. The film was released without any problems" - the assistant director emphasized.
Screenwriter Lee Joon Hyun said: "The book recording the scene's developments describes every detail of the sleeper scene that was shared with all staff and actors many months in advance." He also praised the late actor Sulli as a "very active, bright and enthusiastic person preparing for the film".
On the day we finished filming our final episode, I remember her going everywhere to greet all the staff, even the youngest, and giving out the cookies she had prepared, Lee said.
Gold Medalist Company clarified that scriptwriting, filming and filming are the responsibility of the film production crew, and are completely unrelated to Kim Soo Hyun - who is only involved as an actor.
Finally, the company confirmed that they had never contacted the mother of the late actor Sulli as her brother said.
