Late Actress Kim Sae Ron’s Family Will Sue YouTuber Lee Jin Ho For Defamation
A press conference will also be held.
Kim Sae Ron’s family has decided to take strong legal action against controversial YouTuber Lee Jin Ho. He will face charges of defamation.
According to Newsis on March 16, the family’s attorney, Bu Ji Seok from well-known law firm Buyu, is set to file a complaint at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency on March 17 at 2 PM. A press conference will also be held beforehand to explain the reasons behind the lawsuit.
Kim Sae Ron’s family claims that Lee Jin Ho repeatedly spread damaging claims about the actress through his YouTube channel, Entertainment President Lee Jin Ho. They believe his videos seriously harmed her reputation and caused her significant distress.
One of the controversial videos suggested that Kim Sae Ron had fabricated rumors of being in a relationship with actor Kim Soo Hyun. However, Attorney Bu maintains that the two were actually in a real relationship and argues that Lee’s video was based on false information.
Recently, Kim Sae Ron’s family has appeared on the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute multiple times, sharing photos of Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun displaying physical affection. They urged Kim Soo Hyun to acknowledge their relationship, claiming that it began when she was still a minor, and demanded a public apology from him.
Initially, Kim Soo Hyun denied having any romantic involvement with Kim Sae Ron. However, on March 14, he changed his stance, admitting that they had dated for about a year after she became an adult through a statement from his agency.
With the lawsuit moving forward, all eyes are on how the case will unfold.
