"I had sex with Kim Soo-hyun when I was in 2nd year of middle school, I was used"…A voice recorded a month before the death of the late Kim Sae-ron has been released

On October 7th, a press conference was held in Gangnam, Seoul, by Bu Ji-seok, the legal representative of Kim Sae-ron's family from the law firm Bu-yu. The event was also attended by Kim Se-ui, the head of the YouTube channel 'Garo Sero Institute' (Gaseyeon). This press conference marks the first public statement from Kim Sae-ron's family in approximately 40 days since March 27.
During the conference, Kim Se-ui played a recording, stating, "This is a recording from January 10, 2025, at a coffee shop in New Jersey, a month before Kim Sae-ron's passing, where she disclosed her relationship with Kim Soo-hyun to an informant."




She continued, "The first time with him was during the winter break of my second year in middle school. Looking back, I feel like I was taken advantage of. Everyone reacts the same way, calling me crazy and asking why I didn't do anything."
Meanwhile, Kim Sae-ron was found deceased at her home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on February 16. Her family has been presenting messages and photos as evidence through Gaseyeon since April 10, claiming that Kim Sae-ron and Kim Soo-hyun were in a relationship from 2015 to 2021, when she was a minor. Kim Soo-hyun has denied these allegations in a press conference on March 31.
Following these events, Kim Soo-hyun's legal team filed a lawsuit on April 1 against Kim Sae-ron's family, Kim Se-ui, and an unidentified individual claiming to be Kim Sae-ron's aunt, seeking damages totaling 12 billion KRW (approximately 120 million USD).
