Other media also wrote articles about Kim Sae-ron, and the bereaved families raised questions about him, saying they were not doing anything about it.

Lee Jin-ho said, `My position that the bereaved families have no reputation remains unchanged,' but added "I hope we don't pick provocative words such as confirming the facts of the thalamus." On February 21st, I went to Kim Sae-ron's burial ground to have minimal courtesy for the deceased. However, he was forced to contact his father after hearing from an official of the Osteoldang that the bereaved families had laid the deceased elsewhere. Because I wanted to say goodbye to the deceased at least" he explained.

He has a distorted frame being written which reads "'I called the bereaved families to confirm the location of the thalamus.'"It is framed maliciously that "I made a phone call in the middle of the award". It is by no means true."




Lee Jin-ho "After this incident, I have consistently expressed my position through my community and videos whenever suspicions and issues arise regarding related content. However, my counterargument has not been properly contained. As it is now, if only the unilateral claim from the Sejyeon is left, I will also have no choice but to take legal action.'

Then "I also don't disclose it because I don't have evidence. However, I just don't want to encourage ridicule and hatred like Ga Se-yeon. I also want to keep the least courtesy of the deceased, so I am just keeping my mouth shut despite the mounting criticism against me" he insisted.

Earlier, Bu-seok, a representative lawyer of the law firm Wealth, who served as the legal representative for the bereaved families of Kim Sae-ron, is scheduled to file a complaint against Lee Jin-ho today (17th) on defamation charges.

Lee Jin-ho posted a video related to Kim Sae-ron from 2022, which the bereaved family claimed included false facts. In particular, it is true that Kim Sae-ron and Kim Soo-hyun dated, but the reason for the complaint is that it is also a clear false fact to report that it is a self-help drama.
