Kim Soo-Hyun Case: Talks of a secret video gains heat hinting at hidden agenda

The situation surrounding Kim Soo-hyun has taken another unexpected turn, further complicating a case that already has too many moving pieces. What began as uncertainty around the tragic death of Kim Sae-ron has now turned into a wider clash of statements involving her family, legal representatives, YouTubers, and industry insiders.

The latest claim came from YouTuber and comedian Lee Jin-ho, who said that a major media outlet is preparing to release a video that could expose the intentions of Kim Sae-ron’s family and Garo Sero Institute. He suggested that certain agencies and actors may have tried to damage Kim Soo-hyun’s standing at a time when he was at the peak of his fame after Queen of Tears.

Lee Jin-ho’s claim increases speculation

Lee Jin-ho’s comments quickly gained attention because they hint at the possibility of deeper involvement from figures who have not yet been named. According to him, the upcoming video may reveal how certain narratives were shaped behind the scenes, eventually dragging Kim Soo-hyun into a controversy he maintains he has no connection to.

This suggestion has sparked new speculation among fans and industry watchers. If a recording truly exists, it could either answer some long standing questions or intensify the confusion even further. For now, there is no clarity on who might have benefited from linking Kim Soo-hyun to an unrelated tragedy or why such claims spread so quickly.

Kim Soo-hyun’s legal team responds strongly

Alongside this, another major development came from Kim Soo-hyun’s attorney, who issued a detailed statement addressing earlier remarks from Attorney Bu Jiseok. Bu had said that the family did not believe Kim Sae-ron suffered because of Kim Soo-hyun and did not believe her death was connected to him. The new response questioned why other representatives of the family allowed unrelated accusations to gain momentum.

Below is the quoted section exactly as provided, with only the stray numbering you objected to removed:

"Even so, Mr. Lee, who claimed to speak on behalf of the family, and Attorney Bu, the family’s legal representative, not only allowed Kim Seui’s claims to spread but also cooperated with them. Attorney Bu claimed that the late Kim Saeron had been suffering from the actions of a certain YouTuber and a specific reporter from the very beginning, and that this led to repeated self harm attempts.

I do not know whether that claim is true. Based on several circumstances, I suspect it is likely false. But I am only the representative of actor Kim Soohyun, and it is not my role to personally fight over or prove the truth of the claims the family has raised. And I cannot do that.

Unless the YouTuber and the reporter take legal action against the family, such as filing criminal complaints or pursuing civil damages, it will be difficult for any investigation or trial to clearly determine whether the family’s statements are true.

However, I think the YouTuber and the reporter may try through their own reporting to expose the family’s lies and hypocritical behavior in order to restore their reputations.

I consider that a legitimate purpose of reporting. But I cannot take part in it.

As the actor’s representative and attorney, I have no choice but to be very clear about what I can and cannot do.

My focus has never wavered. It is entirely on restoring the actor’s reputation and helping him return to work as soon as possible.

I want the actor to escape this muddy situation as quickly as possible. I want to reduce this waste of time that he feels is so unfortunate.

From the start, actor Kim Soohyun has had no connection whatsoever to the death of the late Kim Saeron.

I cannot allow actor Kim Soohyun to carry the burden of unnecessary or excessive demands for justice, or the risks tied to making final factual determinations about matters unrelated to him."

The message is clear. Kim Soo-hyun’s lawyer refuses to let unrelated accusations or unverified claims push the actor into a position where he is expected to resolve disputes that have nothing to do with him. The priority is to protect his reputation and allow him to return to work without the weight of someone else’s narrative.

The larger picture remains unsettled. Lee Jin-ho’s claim hints at upcoming revelations. The clash between legal sides exposes a long chain of miscommunication. If the reported video is released, it may shift the direction of the entire conversation or raise new doubts. Until then, the case continues to draw close attention, becoming one of the most talked about and emotionally loaded issues in Korean entertainment.
