Recently, interest in the drama 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' starring actress Park Eun Bin is very high.

In addition to the story that conveys a warm feeling, the character digestion and excellent acting skills of the actors who perfectly create every scene are spurring the popularity of the drama.

While the charm of all the characters in the work has captivated the viewers, many viewers are thrilled by the words and actions of 'tsundere' by Jung Myung Seok (Kang Ki Young), the boss at work, who secretly takes care of Woo Young Woo (Park Eun Bin) in the play.

It looks like he's grunting at Woo Young Woo from the outside, but he quietly helps Woo Young Woo from behind and leads his juniors as a senior in the company.

Let's fall in love with Jung Myung Seok's sweet appearance, who took good care of Woo Young Woo enough to be called 'sub-dad' and instilled in many newcomers the romance of being a boss.

When Woo Young Woo could not stand trial, he also dropped out.

Woo Young Woo took on the defense of the case where Kim Jeong Hoon (Moon Sang Hoon), who had autism spectrum disorder, killed his brother, but was insulted by the prosecutor for being a lawyer with autism spectrum disorder and could not properly claim Kim Jeong Hoon's mental and physical weakness. .

After Woo Young Woo was unable to stand trial at the request of the defendant's father, Jung Myung Seok went to the law firm's representative and asked him to persuade the defendant's father. It felt like an obvious discrimination.

However, when the situation did not go well, Jung Myung Seok did not hesitate to stand up for Woo Young Woo's rights and decided not to stand together in court, giving a touching impression.

In addition, Jung Myung Seok endured the humiliation of having to ask for a courteous favor while yielding the case to his close friend, lawyer Jang Seung Jun (Choi Dae Hoon).

Woo Young Woo's point-blank and mocking colleague lawyers are blocked in advance

After Kim Jeong Hoon's trial was over, Jung Myung Seok, who was leaving the courthouse with Woo Young Woo, met Jang Seung Jun, who was in charge of the trial instead of him.

When Jang Seung Jun pointed at Woo Young Woo and pretended to know her, Jung Myung Seok quickly grabbed Jang Seung Jun's finger and said, "Thank you," and cut off Jang Seung Jun's words.

Jung Myung Seok's action to prevent him from pointing, Jang Seung Jun was stunned and couldn't say anything.

Viewers once again admired Jung Myung-seok's kindness and sense, who tried to protect Woo Young-woo.

Woo Young Woo's resignation letter was deliberately rejected

After experiencing a situation where she could not properly defend the defendant because she had autism spectrum disorder, Woo Young Woo eventually submitted her resignation and left the company.

However, team leader Jeong Myung Seok, who recognized Woo Young Woo's superior lawyer qualities, did not deliberately accept her resignation letter.

Afterwards, Woo Young Woo tried to ask Jung Myung Seok to take the case to help Dong Dong Sam (Juk Seok Yong), the father of Dong Sam (Jok Seok Yong), the father of his best friend Won Won (Joo Hyun Young), but Jung Myung Seok deliberately entrusted the case directly to Woo Young Woo. 

It was a big picture of Jung Myung Seok trying to make Woo Young Woo come back to the law firm. 

In the end, Woo Young Woo, who successfully resolved Dong Sam's case, came to visit Jeong Myung Seok to return to the company, and Jeong Myung Seok, who did not process Woo Young Woo's resignation letter, willingly allowed her to go to work.

Seeing Woo Young Wooo leaving the office happy to be able to go back to work, Jung Myung Seok made the viewers flutter with a happy smile.

Praise Woo Young-woo for smartly feeding the opposing lawyer

Woo Young Woo, who stood in court in charge of Dong Sam's case, defended Dong Sam in favor of Dong Sam.

At this time, the opposing lawyer raised a rebuttal, but Woo Young Woo blew a cool shot at the opposing lawyer, "Do you have any evidence of that?"

Previously, the other side's lawyers lied first and put Dong Sam's side at a disadvantage, but in response to Woo Young Woo's rebuttal, he showed a brazen attitude, saying, "Do you have any evidence?"

In response, Woo Young Woo took revenge in the same way as her opponent's lawyer did, creating a sense of exhilaration.

Jung Myung Seok, who was watching Woo Young Woo, could not hide his happy smile, and softly praised Woo Young Woo, who returned to his seat, saying, "Well done."

In response to Jung Myung Seok's praise, Woo Young Woo also showed a proud expression, giving a warm impression.

A lawyer representing late actress Kim Sae Ron’s family has revealed that eight of her friends knew about her relationship with actor Kim Soo Hyun when she was still a minor.

On April 1, TV Chosun’s Case File 24 reported, "We talked to Kim Sae Ron’s family lawyer, and they said, ‘We were hoping for a sincere apology from Kim Soo Hyun, but he has not apologized to the bereaved family.’"

The lawyer further claimed, "At least eight of Kim Sae Ron’s friends knew she was dating Kim Soo Hyun when she was still underage. After watching Kim Soo Hyun’s press conference, they felt frustrated and are preparing a statement that could be released to the public."

According to Case File 24, the lawyer added, "Even if Kim Soo Hyun had admitted something like, ‘There were good feelings when she was a minor, but we only had a real relationship after she became an adult,’ it would have been better. The family doesn’t understand why he keeps denying everything."

On March 10, Kim Sae Ron’s family claimed through Garo Sero Research Institute that "Kim Sae Ron dated Kim Soo Hyun from November 19, 2015, when she was 15 years old, until July 7, 2021." Kim Sae Ron was born in 2000, while Kim Soo Hyun was born in 1988.

However, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, responded by calling the claims "completely false" and warned of strong legal action. The next day, Kim Sae Ron’s family released messages she had sent to Kim Soo Hyun, along with a photo of him kissing her on the cheek. Despite this, Kim Soo Hyun’s side denied the claims again, calling them "baseless rumors."

At first, Gold Medalist denied any romantic relationship. But on March 14, they changed their stance, saying, "Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron dated from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020, after she became an adult. The claim that they dated when she was a minor is not true."

Then, on March 27, Bu Ji Seok, a lawyer representing Kim Sae Ron’s family, held a press conference, presenting KakaoTalk messages from 2016 as proof that Kim Soo Hyun had been in a relationship with Kim Sae Ron when she was still underage.

He stated, "The messages suggest that they shared a bed. If they weren’t in a romantic relationship, then what kind of relationship did they have? At that time, Kim Sae Ron was only 16 years old (15 internationally)."

The lawyer then questioned, "If Kim Soo Hyun continues to deny dating her as a minor, then is he admitting to something worse—grooming her instead?"

During the press conference, the lawyer also revealed a letter Kim Sae Ron had written to Kim Soo Hyun in early April last year.

In the letter, Kim Sae Ron wrote:

"I wanted to clear up the misunderstandings between us, so I'm writing this. No one from the company (Gold Medalist) has been responding, and I was scared to reach out. I'm sorry for posting that photo (of us with our cheeks touching on social media). I only uploaded it because I hoped the company would contact me. I apologize if I caused you trouble.

"I feel really uncomfortable and scared of the people at Gold Medalist. No one from the company has answered my calls. I never meant to make your life harder. I sincerely hope you will be happy.

"We were together for about five to six years. You were my first love and my last love. Please don’t avoid me. Seeing you ignore me and act like I don’t exist makes everything feel meaningless and empty.

"Can’t we at least be on good terms? We don’t have to be anything more or less—just supportive of each other. Do you really hate me that much? Why?"

At the press conference, lawyer Bu said, "At first, Kim Soo Hyun denied ever dating her. Then he changed his story, saying they only dated after she became an adult. This is another lie."

He continued, "The bereaved family wants to put an end to the controversy by presenting evidence. After today’s press conference, they do not want to engage in any more meaningless debates."

On March 31, Kim Soo Hyun held a press conference at the Stanford Hotel in Sangam-dong, Seoul, where he firmly denied the allegations again.

Through tears, he stated, "I know this is what everyone is most curious about. I did not date her when she was a minor."

He also claimed that the evidence provided by Kim Sae Ron’s family, such as the KakaoTalk messages, had been manipulated.

"The KakaoTalk messages shown at the press conference contain many mistakes that Kim Sae Ron herself wouldn’t have made. The photo they claim is from 2016 is actually from 2019. If it really was Kim Sae Ron writing those messages, she wouldn’t have made mistakes about our age difference. She also wouldn’t have gotten the name and contract period of her agency wrong, especially since she was with the company for four years," he explained.

Kim Soo Hyun also stated, "Kim Sae Ron only worked as an actress under our agency, Gold Medalist. She was never involved in rookie casting or visual directing. The YouTube channel (Garo Sero Research Institute) is using these messages from 2016 to frame me as a ‘pedophile’ and someone who ‘groomed a minor.’"

In response, Kim Soo Hyun’s side has filed a lawsuit against Kim Sae Ron’s family, an unidentified person referred to as "Mr. Lee," and the operators of Garo Sero Research Institute for defamation. They are also demanding 12 billion KRW (about 120 million USD) in damages.

Kim Soo Hyun’s lawyer, Kim Jong Bok from LKB & Partners, stated, "Kim Soo Hyun and Gold Medalist have decided to take legal action to clarify the facts. Today, we submitted a lawsuit against the bereaved family, the unknown individual called 'Mr. Lee,' and the operator of Garo Sero Research Institute (Kim Se Ui) for defamation."

He added, "We have also filed a civil lawsuit at the Seoul District Court, demanding 12 billion KRW in damages."

As both sides continue to present their claims, the controversy surrounding Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun is only growing. Many are now waiting to see how the legal battle unfolds.
