Kim Soo Hyun Faces Scrutiny for Delay in Defamation Lawsuit Amid Underage Relationship Allegations

Actor Kim Soo Hyun's legal strategy has come under public scrutiny as he refrains from filing defamation lawsuits amidst allegations of dating a minor. On March 21, 2025, his legal representative, attorney Kim Jong Bok of LKB & Partners, confirmed they are reviewing potential legal actions but have taken none yet regarding accusations of underage relationships.

• This decision contrasts sharply with their swift action on March 20, 2025, when they filed criminal suits against Kim Sae Ron’s family and Garo Sero Research Institute for alleged sexual humiliation due to leaked personal photos. The absence of defamation lawsuits, despite serious accusations of pedophilia, has sparked suspicions among netizens.
  
  
  
  They can’t because it’s true LOL.
  If it were me, I would feel so wronged that I’d suggest forensics first… Sigh.
  They can’t sue about that because evidence that it is true might come out in court LOL. Seems like while he feels humiliated or whatever that the photo came out, he’s fine with being criticized as a pedo.
  LOOOOOL.
  Sue them for defamation, go on! Why can’t you? LOL.

In response to queries from CBS NoCut News, Attorney Kim stated, “For now, we are refraining from further legal actions as much as possible, given the sensitive nature of the situation surrounding the late Kim Sae Ron.” This cautious approach follows concerns about ongoing public sentiment and the potential for further damaging disclosures.

Here is the statement below:


“As stated in yesterday’s statement, with the passing of former agency actress Kim Sae Ron, the agency is currently filled with grief and mourning. We believe the bereaved family is also sharing these sentiments, so for now, we are refraining from further legal actions as much as possible. We had no choice but to file a complaint this time because there was a risk that explicit photos of an extreme nature would continue to be released.”

Meanwhile, Korean media outlets speculate that the delay in filing defamation lawsuits indicates a strategic move to avoid legal risks and potential confirmation of the allegations. Notably, Kim Sae Ron’s family has opted to file a defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Lee Jin Ho for disclosing private information during her lifetime, while refraining from direct legal action against Kim Soo Hyun.
