Press Conference Cancellation and Legal Actions

The Garoseoro Research Institute initially planned a press conference with Kim Sae Ron’s family to address the leaked audio, but it was canceled due to her mother’s declining health. The institute emphasized that recording and leaking such content without consent is illegal.

The institute also addressed the statement from Kim Soo Hyun‘s agency. “At first, they denied that the photo was of Kim Soo Hyun, claiming it was just the back of a person. But now that they are filing a complaint, are they admitting it’s actually his photo? It’s ridiculous.”

The Garoseoro Research Institute also claimed to have evidence regarding Seo Ye Ji and her agency, Gold Medalist, that could expose behind-the-scenes issues.

The institute further warned that YouTuber Lee Jin Ho could face immediate arrest for defaming the late Kim Sae Ron. They stated that they are verifying the audio recording’s authenticity and will file additional charges if it is found to be false.

Kim Sae Ron’s Mother’s Letter

The institute released a letter from Kim Sae Ron’s mother, who expressed her deep sorrow:

“My beloved daughter Sae Ron, are you in a warm place? Are you no longer in pain? My head aches unbearably every day, and my chest feels tight. Winter is ending, and warm spring is coming, but my frozen heart refuses to thaw. I can’t throw away any of your things — your clothes, your belongings. I still hold onto your pajamas, unable to wash them because your scent remains on them.

You said that if you died, many people would come to see you — and they did. I realized that you lived a good life. It was comforting to see so many people who truly knew and loved you. You saw them all, right? I regret not being with you more, not protecting you during your last moments. It must have been terrifying for you.

I kept telling you not to do things, thinking it would protect you — don’t go out late, don’t drink, don’t post pictures online. I’m sorry, my dear. I thought restricting you was a way to protect you. Now people are telling me to explain myself, to clarify things. But all I want is an apology for turning you into a liar — and to prevent something like this from happening again.

People might not know the truth, but I know. The people who truly knew you know. I’m sorry, Sae Ron. I will try to let you go quietly now.”

Kim Sae Ron’s family now lives in a small house with her dog and keeps her paintings, which reflect her emotional state during Kim Soo Hyun’s drama “Queen of Tears.” Her mother, who also has two other children, is in poor health.

The Garoseoro Research Institute insists that YouTuber Lee Jin Ho’s actions constitute secondary harm, a criminal offense, and demands his immediate arrest by the Seodaemun Police Station.
