Kim Soo-hyun’s Agency Announces Compensation Strategy After Photo Leak Incident

The ongoing controversy involving Kim Soo-hyun and the late actress Kim Sae-ron has recently taken a surprising twist. Reports indicate that Kim Soo-hyun’s management agency, Gold Medalist, had initially contemplated providing financial assistance to Kim Sae-ron’s family. However, plans were abruptly abandoned following the exposure of a contentious photograph.

Shifting Narratives: Was Kim Soo-hyun Unjustly Accused?

The emergence of new information has notably altered public opinion, with many online comments expressing support for Kim Soo-hyun, stating sentiments like, “He must have been falsely accused” and “This highlights the necessity of maintaining neutrality.”

Currently, Kim Soo-hyun is taking refuge in his home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, spending time with his family. While the state of his mental well-being is under speculation, there are indications that his relatives are shielding him from media coverage related to the ongoing saga.

An insider from MBC’s “Good Day, ” a show on which Kim Soo-hyun is slated to appear, stated, “The ongoing scandal has placed immense pressure on him. Reflecting on his deceased ex-girlfriend likely stirs a complex mix of sorrow, anger, and frustration.”

Gold Medalist’s Tactical Reassessment After the Photo Leak

Initially, Gold Medalist aimed to amicably resolve the situation by initiating dialogue with Kim Sae-ron’s family. They even expressed a desire to meet with Kim Sae-ron’s father. Nevertheless, once the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute (Garo Sero) publicly disclosed this outreach, communication completely deteriorated.

A pivotal moment occurred when a personal photo showing Kim Soo-hyun doing household chores was leaked by Garo Sero. This image, reportedly taken at a residence that Kim Soo-hyun had provided to Kim Sae-ron, showed him in a compromising state and magnified the scandal. The location depicted in the photo was in the upscale area of Seoul Forest The Sharp, just a short walk from Kim Soo-hyun’s residence.

The Rationale Behind Abandoning the Compensation Offer

Before the leak of the controversial photo, Gold Medalist had considered extending financial support to Kim Sae-ron’s family, taking into account potential tax ramifications. However, the revelation of the scandal surrounding the leaked image led to a complete reversal of this intention.

According to sources, “Gold Medalist initially sought to clarify misunderstandings with Kim Sae-ron’s family, but the leak of the photograph caused those plans to be scrapped.” The agency expressed concern that extending compensation might be misinterpreted as an attempt to buy silence, which could provoke public backlash and further legal issues.

Gold Medalist Initiates Legal Proceedings

In light of the leaked photo scandal, Gold Medalist opted for a more aggressive legal strategy. The agency classified the breach of privacy surrounding the suggestive image as a serious ethical violation, prompting them to pursue legal actions.

On March 20, Gold Medalist lodged a police complaint against Garosero Institute, Kim Sae-ron’s family, and an unnamed individual identified as “an aunt, ” citing infringements of the Special Act on Sexual Violence.
