Shocking Allegations: Kim Sae-ron's Family Claims Whistleblower Attacked Over Secret Recording
On the afternoon of the 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. Kim Se-eui was also present at the event. This marks the first press conference by Kim Sae-ron's family since March 27, approximately 40 days ago.
Kim Se-eui stated, "We intended to reveal this issue after the presidential election, but there was a compelling reason to disclose at least part of it now. A month before Kim Sae-ron tragically took her own life, she recorded a 1 hour and 30-minute conversation with a whistleblower in New Jersey, stating, 'The person who tormented me the most was Kim Soo-hyun.' This recording was made with her consent."
He continued, "The explicit recording was made on January 10th (U.S. time) this year. The whistleblower, who had this recording, was attacked on Wednesday, April 30th, by two assailants who came from Korea and China. He was stabbed nine times. The family requested that we disclose part of the recording today to prevent further escalation. This is a clear case of attempted murder. The perpetrators were Korean and Chinese individuals who entered through New York airport five days before the crime. This is a premeditated crime."
According to the recording, Kim Sae-ron claimed she first had a sexual relationship with Kim Soo-hyun when she was in the second year of middle school. She said, "We dated from middle school and broke up after entering college. I feel like I was used since middle school. The first time was during the winter break of my second year in middle school. Looking back, I wonder if I should say I was victimized. Everyone reacts the same way, calling me crazy and asking why I didn't do anything."
