In a developing story from South Korea, renowned actor Kim Soo Hyun is reportedly contemplating legal action against the family of the late actress Kim Sae Ron over allegations of defamation. The family has accused Kim Soo Hyun of dating a minor, claims which his team vehemently denies.

A spokesperson from LKB & Partners, the law firm representing Kim Soo Hyun, disclosed on March 22 KST, “We are seriously evaluating our options regarding the recent unfounded accusations surrounding Kim Soo Hyun’s personal life.” They emphasized that both Kim Soo Hyun and his management team, Gold Medalist, are currently in mourning for Kim Sae Ron's passing. However, they felt compelled to consider legal steps due to ongoing threats and the unauthorized release of a private photo of Kim Soo Hyun.

This controversy intensified when, on March 20 KST, Gold Medalist lodged a criminal complaint against a YouTube channel, HOVERLAB, as well as Kim Sae Ron's family and a relative referred to as her "aunt." The complaint cites the public dissemination of sensitive material without consent, further escalating tensions between the two parties.

In a parallel development, Kim Sae Ron's family is not without their own legal troubles; they have initiated a defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, alleging that he spread false information about the late star prior to her untimely death. Sources suggest that they might explore additional legal avenues, potentially targeting Kim Soo Hyun as the situation evolves.

This case has captured public attention, raising discussions about celebrity privacy, the impact of social media, and the legal protections available in high-profile disputes. As the situation unfolds, both parties are under scrutiny, and further developments are anticipated in the wake of these serious allegations.
