Kim Soo-hyun held a press conference at Stanford Hotel in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 31st and expressed his position on the controversy over his personal life.

On this day, Kim Soo-hyun said, `I think too many people are suffering because of that one person. I just feel sorry that the deceased is not sleeping peacefully. "I wish I had just said everything here from the beginning. If so, I thought that the fans who loved me and the company family members who worked so hard even for this press conference would all be so distressed.




It was the same when the deceased posted a picture of me at the time of airing "Queen of Tears". The deceased and I dated for about a year five years ago, four years before the Queen of Tears aired, but I denied the relationship" he said.

He said "Whenever the choices of human Kim Soo-hyun and star Kim Soo-hyun were mixed, I think I've always made the choice as star Kim Soo-hyun. But if I go back to the time when the Queen of Tears was on air again, I will make that choice again."

Kim Soo-hyun said, `I did not date the deceased when he was a minor. And it is also not true that the deceased made a tragic choice because my agency told me to pay off the deceased's debts soon after he turned a blind eye to me."




Then "Just that I and the deceased are both actors? 醯?"Like everyone else, he was an ordinary lover. Like most lovers, it was prudent to keep in touch with each other while they were separated." The deceased's bereaved family claims that I drove the deceased to death because I was his ex-boyfriend. And he's forcing me to confess something I didn't even do" he appealed.

"But you can't say you did something you didn't do. I will be criticized for any choice I made, but that does not mean that everything that is not true is true. "Just as I have done the verification process for Kakaotalk, I will go through the process of thoroughly verifying everything that the bereaved family presents as evidence through the investigative agency. If the evidence of the bereaved family is really true, we ask the investigative agency to submit all data and verify it through legal procedures."

Finally "I'm afraid of what else I'm going to reveal and distort to drive me to be a murderer today."But I'll make sure to prove it." he concluded.




In addition, lawyer Kim Jong-bok, Kim Soo-hyun's legal representative, filed a complaint against the bereaved families and the owner of the Garosero Research Institute (Kim Se-eui) on charges of defaming the Information and Communication Network Utilization and Information Protection Act. A lawsuit against them worth a total of 12 billion won was also filed with the Seoul Central District Court" he said.

▶ Hereinafter, full statement of Kim Soo-hyun's press conference

Hello, I'm Kim Soo Hyun. First of all, I'm sorry.

I think too many people are suffering because of that one person. And I'm just sorry that the deceased also doesn't seem to be sleeping comfortably.

I consider myself a coward. I think I was always in a hurry to keep what I had. I couldn't even trust the favor that came to me, and I was always afraid of what I would lose, so I ran away and was busy denying it. So it took a long time to stand here.

I just thought about what it would have been like to talk about everything here from the beginning. If so, I thought that all the fans who loved me and the company family members who worked so hard even for this press conference were not so distressed.

Whenever the private lives of me and the deceased were revealed, I kept thinking that let's just talk about everything tomorrow and end this hellish situation. But every time, I hesitated. I wondered how my decision would affect those around me. Maybe it would make me and everyone go wrong

It was the same when the deceased posted a picture of me at the time of airing 'Queen of Tears'. The deceased and I dated for about a year five years ago, four years before the Queen of Tears aired. But at that time, I denied the relationship.

I think it's natural to criticize this choice. I can understand that you don't believe what I'm saying about things between me and the deceased now. However, I only have one chance to tell you this here, so I would really appreciate it if you could listen to me once.

I became an actor and received a lot of love. Originally, I didn't have much, but I became a person who had too much to keep. Even when the Queen of Tears was on air, there were many things to keep as a leading actor. What would happen if you acknowledged your relationship with someone you dated a few years ago? Actors playing with me, all the staff staying up all night on the spot, the production company putting everything on the line, and our company family. What's going to happen.

Whenever the choices of human Kim Soo-hyun and star Kim Soo-hyun are mixed, I think I have always made the choice as star Kim Soo-hyun. So I was actually afraid every day. Since I'm a star Kim Soo Hyun, I was afraid of everything I would do if everything I chose to keep came back to me as poison.

But even if I went back to when the Queen of Tears was on air, I would make that choice again. I have no choice but to do it. I don't think I should be able to make that decision on my own so that I can feel comfortable. I thought that was the responsibility that Kim Soo-hyun, the person who chose life, should bear now. If you criticize this choice as selfish, I will accept it. And I also apologize to everyone who cared for me.

I have a lot of worries even at this moment. And I'm nervous. I don't know what the things I'm saying will come back to, but I thought I had to say it in the end because I'm that kind of person. There were also people who gave me this advice. Let's go for the good, if you want to manage risk, show that you accept it in moderation. Then you'll be away from people's attention and prepare for a comeback later.

I don't think I and the deceased's personal life could have been exposed to this extent. Every day, I'll post a picture tomorrow I wouldn't have had to be threatened with something like this, and I wouldn't have been insulted by the leakage of photos of my personal life. But I couldn't. I couldn't accept the compulsion to admit falsehood as true while threatening me.

I'll tell you about the part that you're most curious about. I didn't date the deceased when he was a minor.

And it is also not true that the deceased made a tragic choice because my agency told me to pay off his debt soon after he turned a blind eye to me. Just the fact that I and the deceased are both actors? 醯?He was an ordinary lover, just like everyone else. We met each other with good feelings and broke up again over time. Since then, I have rarely been in contact with the deceased. Like most lovers, it was prudent to keep in touch while separated.

Both were actors whose faces were known to many people, and when the deceased was in the same agency as me, he was in a position where he knew to some extent how he was doing. So even when the deceased had a drunk driving accident, he could not easily contact them. On a YouTube channel representing the bereaved family of the deceased, I heard the representative of the deceased's last agency tell me that the deceased had a hard time because of me during the drunk driving incident.

But I understand that the deceased was dating someone else at the time. That's why I was very careful to contact the deceased in such a situation. I didn't know what to say when we were already living our own lives. What I'm saying might sound like an excuse. I wanted to stay still no matter what people in the world said. I'm always misunderstood as much as I'm loved enough. Things that are not true also go around like they are true.

I thought it was also up to me. However, the bereaved family of the deceased claims that I drove the deceased to death because I was his ex-boyfriend. And he's forcing me to confess something I didn't even do. You've been playing around with the deceased since you were a minor, you put pressure on the deceased with money, you let them die. So you are a murderer.

First of all, please listen to this voice. After the bereaved family revealed my relationship with the deceased, a YouTube channel that conveys the bereaved family's position testified by the representative of the deceased's last agency. In a newly recorded call after the revelation, this person sent a second proof of content about our agency and the debt relationship with the deceased, as if he pressured the deceased about the debt. However, I am saying something completely different on the phone with the CEO of my agency a year ago. Please listen to it.

I learned from this controversy, but here's the truth about the 2nd proof of content. However, it is unknown why the representative of the deceased's last agency is lying completely differently from the call he made a year ago. I'll admit that I did something wrong. I think it's natural to take responsibility if there's something you need to take responsibility for.

But you can't say you did something you didn't do. Voice testimonies claimed by bereaved families are newly recorded after the incident was revealed. The same is true of the contents of the kakaotalk first released by the bereaved family. There are too many wrong facts to say that this Kakao Talk was written by the deceased. The picture from 2016 was also from 2019. Also, if you're the deceased, you can't get the age difference between me and the deceased. The deceased worked only as an actor belonging to our company and has never cast a rookie or directed a visual.

The bereaved family also disclosed a Kakao Talk conversation that I and the deceased had at a press conference not long ago. And that YouTube channel is framing me like paedophile, underage grooming as evidence of the comments on Kakaotalk in 2016.

However, the characters who are talking to the deceased on Kakaotalk in 2016 and Kakaotalk in 2018 are different people. To prove this fact, I submitted the kakaotalk I shared with my acquaintances in 2016 and 2018 and this year to a verification agency that analyzes the statements scientifically. As a result, the institution concluded that the person in Kakaotalk in 2016 and 2018 was not the same person as you can see.

When I and my agency present the evidence to the bereaved family, the newly recorded testimony is suddenly released. Photos and videos that cleverly changed the timing of the incident, and edited Kakao Talk images, not the original, come out as evidence. Fake testimony and fake evidence continue under the pretext that I dated the deceased.

I'll take any criticism of the choice I made. But that doesn't mean everything that's not true is true. Just as I have taken the verification process for Kakaotalk, I will take the process to thoroughly verify all the things that the bereaved family presents as evidence through the investigative agency.

If the evidence of the bereaved family is really true, we ask the investigative agency to submit all data and verify it through legal procedures. I also have people who are only looking at me at this moment. I'm seeing them suffer and fall apart every day. Today, I'm afraid of what else I'm going to expose and distort and drive me to be a murderer.

At the end of this press conference, they don't know what other fake evidence and fake testimony they will defame me and bully those around them.

However, if I can't force myself to tell a lie to be true, I will betray not only Kim Soo-hyun as a human being, but also everyone who gave faith and love to star Kim Soo-hyun. They will suffer for the rest of their lives that you liked human waste and that you were deceived by Kim Soo-hyun. No matter how much I wear a mask as a celebrity, I can't do that alone.

What I did was do it. You can take any blame for that. But what you didn't do is what you didn't do. I want to reveal that for everyone who still believes in me. I won't ask you to trust me. I'll make sure to prove it. Thank you.
