Actor Kim Soo-hyun’s purported "crime" will be disclosed by the attorney representing the family of late actress Kim Sae-ron during a press briefing scheduled for 2 p.m. on Wednesday, according to an announcement made by the YouTube channel Hoverlab on Tuesday.
What we are going to address concerns a very grave issue," Hoverlab stated as he requested that only journalists be present. "The reason for this will become clear once you hear what is disclosed during the press conference.
"The press conference will be conducted by Hoverlab operator Kim Se-ui and lawyer Bu Ji-seok from the law firm Buyou," Hoverlab announced in an update posted on their YouTube channel late Tuesday. Bu serves as the legal representative for the late actor Kim’s family.
The conference will take place in the Gangnam District of southern Seoul starting at 2 p.m., with live streaming available on the designated channel. Access to the event will be restricted to members of the media only.
Through Hoverlab, Kim Sae-ron’s family has alleged that Kim Soo-hyun dated the deceased actor when she was underage and asserts that his management company coerced her into repaying a debt to him. However, Kim Soo-hyun refutes these illegal allegations, stating that their relationship began once she reached adulthood.
He has taken legal action against Hoverlab and the deceased actor's relatives for publishing an image of him sans trousers and intimidating him. Additionally, he is seeking compensation amounting to 12 billion won ($8.14 million). Furthermore, he initiated a stalking case against the YouTube personality.
Bu and Hoverlab have held two press conferences so far, to which actor Kim Soo-hyun countered with his own press conference on March 31.
