YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, who is currently in a heated dispute with the late Kim Sae Ron’s family, has raised serious questions about their actions.

On March 30, Lee Jin Ho posted a new video on his YouTube channel Entertainment President Lee Jin Ho, responding to the press conference held by Kim Sae Ron’s family.

During the conference, the family's lawyer, Bu Ji Seok, stated, "This is not a place to reveal the reason why Kim Sae Ron ended her life."

In response, Lee Jin Ho fired back, saying, "What does this even mean? If they don’t want to reveal the cause of her death, then what have they been doing all this time? Shouldn’t the first thing the family does be to find out why she passed away?"

The lawyer added, "But instead, they accused me of being a stalker or even a murderer based on Kwon Young Chan’s claims, even though the investigation found nothing illegal. In this situation, isn’t it only natural to explain why she died?"

Lee Jin Ho also revisited his previous claims about Kim Sae Ron’s "American husband". He alleged that Kim Sae Ron was with her American husband just days before her passing and was in the process of annulling their marriage. He further claimed that Kim Sae Ron had confided in close friends about suffering verbal and physical abuse from him.

He then questioned, "Why is the family staying silent about the American husband? It has been revealed multiple times that she was deeply distressed because of him, yet they refuse to even mention him. Are they saying they have over 3,000 pieces of evidence against Kim Soo Hyun but nothing at all about the American husband? Are they just going to pretend he never existed?"

Lee Jin Ho expressed his frustration, saying, "This is happening because they have already decided that I and Kim Soo Hyun are responsible. But didn’t I say I have decisive evidence that can reveal the real reason behind her tragic decision? The family has her phone—they can check for themselves what was causing her distress. But instead, they’re only blaming Kim Soo Hyun and me."

He also pointed out that the family released KakaoTalk messages from 2016 and 2018, claiming Kim Sae Ron dated Kim Soo Hyun when she was a minor. "That evidence was only in their possession, yet they didn’t mention that some of it was reconstructed. They only admitted it later. They haven’t even clarified whether the data came from forensic extraction or not."

Lastly, Lee Jin Ho questioned why the family is suing Kim Soo Hyun for defamation but not pursuing any legal action regarding their other claims.

He said, "If they really have proof that he groomed her when she was a minor, why aren’t they suing him for that? If they truly want to restore Kim Sae Ron’s honor, they should use every legal means available—whether it’s statutory rape charges or defamation through false information."

He added, "But they’re only suing me? Then sue Kim Soo Hyun too. And don’t forget about the American husband. The truth must come out. That’s the only way to truly restore her honor and uncover the real reason behind her death."

Actor Kim Soo Hyun's dedicated fanbase is taking action against online hate and false rumors aimed at damaging his reputation.

On April 22nd, the Kim Soo Hyun Fan Union (comprising Daum Cafe Yukaris and DC Inside Kim Soo Hyun Gallery) released a statement announcing they are working to file criminal charges against those spreading harmful slander about the actor.

Their lawyer, Yang Tae Young from Law Firm Siwoo, revealed that they plan to take legal action as soon as this week, filing a formal complaint at the Seoul Seongbuk Police Station. According to the fan union, these online users are violating the Information and Communication Network Act by spreading malicious defamation.

While defamation cases can be pursued by third parties, unlike insults which require the victim to act, the fan union is determined to protect Kim Soo Hyun's reputation. They stated, "This is a voluntary movement to defend the actor’s rights and maintain a healthy fan culture. We won’t tolerate personal attacks disguised as freedom of speech and will take action without hesitation."

The fan union also emphasized that this effort is not just limited to South Korea. International fans have joined the movement, showing support for the cause. The union has gathered solid evidence, including harmful comments, manipulated images, and false posts made over the past few months.

In a related move, Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, filed a separate report with the authorities on April 15th, condemning the continuous spread of baseless rumors and unverified claims that have been damaging to the actor’s image. They also filed a defamation lawsuit.

This all stems from claims made by the family of late actress Kim Sae Ron, starting in March. Through the Garoseero Research Institute YouTube channel, they alleged that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship from November 2015 (when Kim Sae Ron was a minor) until July 2021. They presented supposed evidence such as handwritten letters Kim Soo Hyun allegedly sent to Kim Sae Ron during his military service and a photo of Kim Soo Hyun kissing Kim Sae Ron on the cheek.

In response, Kim Soo Hyun's agency clarified on March 14th that the actor only began a relationship with Kim Sae Ron after she became an adult, from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020. Kim Soo Hyun also addressed the rumors directly during a press conference on March 31st, stating, "I did not date Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor."

The situation continues to unfold, with fans and the actor taking a firm stance against the damaging rumors.
