Kim Sae-ron’s Family Responds to Lee Jin-ho: “Cease Misrepresenting Facts with False Aunt Claims”

On March 21, the contentious YouTube channel, Garosero Research Institute, hosted a live stream entitled [Shocking Exclusive] The Lee Jin-ho Audio Mystery (Kim Soo-hyun’s ‘Exposure’ at Shopping Mall).

The family expressed their bewilderment at Lee Jin-ho’s claim of suing what he referred to as Kim Sae-ron’s “fake aunt.” They stated, “Mr. Lee, we do not recognize this person you mention. This individual is simply Sae-ron’s aunt. If anyone is entitled to seek legal action, it’s us. What is your purpose in doing this?”

They emphasized, “Why should we even be compelled to address such trivial matters? Are you under the impression that the public will overlook your past actions if you continue to divert attention? The distinction between a real aunt and a fake one is negligible. She became acquainted with Sae-ron when both families were connected through acting, and she has been significantly involved in Sae-ron’s life for nearly 20 years.”

The family conveyed their gratitude, stating, “Throughout Sae-ron’s recent three-year struggle against fabricated news and online harassment, this so-called ‘aunt’ remained by her side—not merely as a spokesperson, but as a true family member. Following her passing, she has provided unwavering support for over a month. What more could qualify someone as an aunt?”

In a decisive statement, they affirmed, “Let us reiterate: the individual referred to by Lee Jin-ho as a ‘fake aunt’ has been appointed our official spokesperson with our explicit consent. To us, she is as real as family can be.”

“Why is it so challenging for you to apologize, Mr. Lee? Is our request unreasonable? We urge you to stop misrepresenting the core of this situation, ” the family implored.

In their closing remarks, they stated, “Your actions do not reflect a pursuit of truth; they signify a desperate effort to rationalize your behavior and the distress you’ve caused. Let’s not pretend otherwise.”

Context of the Ongoing Dispute

The family’s reaction stems from a rising conflict regarding Kim Sae-ron’s purported relationship with actor Kim Soo-hyun.
There is a significant age gap, with Kim born in 1988 and Sae-ron in 2000; the family claims they began their relationship when she was only 15 in 2015.
Additionally, the family alleges that a letter purportedly written by Kim during his military service in June 2018 has surfaced.
Initially denying, Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, later confirmed the authenticity of a controversial photo featuring a man inappropriately attired.
In light of the unfolding events, the agency has filed legal actions against the family, Garosero Research Institute, and Sae-ron’s aunt for disseminating this image and related claims.
