Kim Sae Ron’s Mother Calls Out Kim Soo Hyun and His Agency Gold Medalist with Clear Demands for Public Apologies Over Their Past Relationship Denial and Actions Toward Her Late Daughter
Kim Sae Ron’s mother has released a statement through Garo Sero Research Institute, demanding an official apology from actor Kim Soo Hyun and his agency, Gold Medalist. She also addressed reporter Lee Jin Ho, holding him responsible for contributing to Kim Sae Ron’s death.
Demands for Kim Soo Hyun and Gold Medalist
Kim Sae Ron’s mother presented several specific demands:
| Garo Sero Institute
“Firstly, we want Kim Soo Hyun to acknowledge that he was dating Kim Sae Ron from the time she was a minor, as well as a public apology from him.”
“Second, from the agency Gold Medalist, we request an official apology for media manipulation over the past three years where they claimed that the two have never dated, and again when they stated three days ago that they have never dated too.”
“Third, please acknowledge Kim Sae Ron’s contributions as a founding member of the company and apologize for that.”
“Fourth, acknowledge and publicly apologize for sending a legal notice demanding repayment of ₩700 million KRW (about $482,000 USD) from Kim Sae Ron.”
She also stated that it was unfortunate that Kim Soo Hyun’s private photos with Kim Sae Ron were revealed, but it was inevitable in order to prove that Kim Sae Ron was speaking the truth. After all, their relationship had been deeply denied by the company countless times.

“Fifth, the reason why Kim Soo Hyun was not mentioned in our official statement was to focus on and warn against Lee Jin Ho and malicious online viral reporters. Our family is not seeking anything from Kim Soo Hun or the agency, aside from an official apology.”
“Sixth, to prove the falsehoods that were spread by Lee Jin Ho, we were left with no choice but to mention that Sae Ron was in a relationship with Kim Soo Hyun. It was an unavoidable situation that required revealing Kim Soo Hyun’s photos. We hope everyone can offer their understanding.”
Addressing Reporter Lee Jin Ho
The statement heavily focused on reporter Lee Jin Ho, whom the family intends to pursue legal action against.

“Seventh, a legal complaint against Lee Jin Ho will be filed next week. We hope for a sincere public apology from him. Additionally, there should be an apology for calling after the funeral and visiting the columbarium and claiming they could not find it.”
“Although he may justify it as a fact-checking effort, the bereaved family felt mocked and deeply offended.”
Kim Sae Ron’s mother placed significant blame on Lee Jin Ho for his alleged actions and reporting.
