Kim Sae-ron's Bereaved Family to Sue YouTuber for Defamation



The late Kim Sae-ron's bereaved family is suing the police against a YouTuber A, a former reporter, for defamation.

Hankyung Dotcom reported on the 16th that `Kim Sae-ron, the legal representative of the bereaved family, will file a complaint with the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency against YouTuber A on charges of defamation against the deceased' in the afternoon of the 17th.

In an interview with the media, the legal representative of Kim Sae-ron's bereaved family said, "'It is true that Kim Sae-ron and Kim Soo-hyun dated each other.'" The part where the battle of truth is taking place is whether Kim Sae-ron has been dating since 2015 when he was a minor, and YouTuber A said about this 'self-actualization'. This is a clear false fact.




YouTuber A reportedly produced four videos about Kim Sae-ron, and made related videos private after hearing the news of the death of the deceased.

At the time of the funeral, the bereaved family said Kim Sae-ron had suffered from YouTuber A's videos and articles.

Recently, Kim Sae-ron's mother said in a statement released on YouTube channel 'Horoseo Research Center"Our purpose is to restore the honor of a child who was destroyed in an instant through numerous false articles."




Then "I wanted to lay the groundwork for condemning the criminal acts of malicious YouTubers and cyber-recurs by law."" he said.

Meanwhile, YouTuber A refuted the allegation that he colluded with actor Kim Soo-hyun and bullied Kim Sae-ron through his YouTube channel on the 13th, calling it 「Founded」.
