2. SOUNDBITE (Korean), Bu Ji Seok, attorney of law firm Buyou and legal representative of late actor Kim Sae-ron’s family – on reasons for holding the presser:
“I am Bu Ji Seok, an attorney from the law firm Buyou, representing the bereaved family of the late Kim Sae-ron. Currently, the family is experiencing such extreme anxiety that they are unable to appear publicly. I am here to convey their statement on their behalf. Recently, the private life of the late Kim Sae-ron has been recklessly and relentlessly exposed, and as a result, speculative rumors and criticisms against her family have continued unabated, causing the family to suffer from extreme anxiety and mental and physical anguish. Today’s press conference aims to raise awareness about the family’s distress and to plead for an end to the ongoing criticism against them. This is not a venue to reveal the reasons behind why late Kim Sae-ron chose to end her life. The reason the family initially had to disclose that Kim Soo-hyun had been in a relationship with late Kim Sae-ron since she was a minor was to file a lawsuit against YouTuber Lee Jin-ho, who had been spreading false information, disparaging, and mocking late Kim Sae-ron, ultimately driving her to her death. However, what returned was Kim Soo-hyun’s initial complete denial of any relationship, followed by evidence of lying fraud being exposed, and now – without a single apology – he is again lying, claiming they only dated after she became an adult. Along with this are the inexplicable and reckless personal life exposures and spread of false information about the late Kim Sae-ron by YouTuber Lee Jin-ho and other parties involved in the incident. With this, the family wishes to put an end to the controversy by presenting their evidence."

6. SOUNDBITE (Korean) Bu Ji Seok, attorney of law firm Buyou and legal representative of late actor Kim Sae-ron’s family – on distress late actor Kim Sae-ron faced due to legal notices from Kim Soo-hyun’s agency and a letter the late actor allegedly wrote to Kim and why it couldn’t be delivered to him
"After receiving the legal notice, Kim Sae-ron was in despair and desperately requested help from Kim Soo-hyun, begging him to save her. However, Kim Soo-hyun did not contact her and instead sent a second legal notice. Kim, clutching at the last desperate hope, went to (Kim Soo-hyun’s home) to deliver the letter in person. Now I will show you the letter. In the letter, she wrote expressions wanting to clear up misunderstandings, and in the middle, it states that they had been meeting for approximately five to six years. Expressions like ‘first love’ also appear in the letter."
