Actor Kim Soohyun's side has reportedly started considering legal action regarding the late actor Kim Saeron's family's claims about a "relationship with a min**."
According to NoCut News on the 22nd, Kim Soohyun's legal representative, lawyer Kim Jong-bok from the law firm LK Partners, stated, "We are considering filing a lawsuit for defamation based on false information regarding the relationship with a mi*** claim, just like our first statement mentioned about future legal responses."
Lawyer Kim explained, "The agency is grieving the loss of our actor, the late Kim Saeron. We believe the family is also carrying this grief, so for now, we are refraining from legal action as much as possible. However, the situation has escalated with the continued promise of revealing photos, and this time, the release of the explicit photos is too serious to avoid legal action."
Earlier, on the 20th, Kim So-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, announced that it had filed a police report against the YouTube channel "Garosero," which posted Kim Soohyun's revealing photo, as well as the late Kim Saeron's family and an unidentified individual known as Kim Saeron's "aunt" for violating special laws on se**** violence. The reason for the lawsuit was that the photo caused se**** humiliation to Kim Soohyun.
Currently, Kim Saeron's family is not directly taking legal action against Kim Soohyun. They have only filed a defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Lee Jin-ho, who had been revealing private details about the late actor during her life.

Due to the leaked photos and other issues, Kim Soohyun's side has been sued by Kim Saeron's family, but the family is currently maintaining a policy of "no response."
