The ongoing controversy surrounding Kim Soo Hyun and the late Kim Sae Ron has taken another dramatic turn, with Hoverlab (Garo Sero Research Institute) releasing what they claim is crucial metadata that contradicts the actor’s recent statements.

Following Kim Soo Hyun’s emotional press conference on March 31st, where he vehemently denied allegations of dating Kim Sae Ron while she was a minor, Hoverlab has countered his claims with purported evidence. During the press conference, Kim Soo Hyun stated that his relationship with Kim Sae Ron occurred in 2019, after she had reached adulthood.

However, Hoverlab has now released additional videos and, more significantly, the metadata of a video allegedly sent by Kim Soo Hyun to Kim Sae Ron. This video, which reportedly features Kim Soo Hyun singing “Only You, My Love,” is claimed to have been recorded on June 21, 2018.

This date is critical because Kim Sae Ron was born on July 31, 2000, meaning she would have been 17 years old at the time the video was recorded and sent. This directly challenges Kim Soo Hyun’s timeline and the core of his denial.

The disclosure of this metadata has ignited a firestorm of reactions from Korean netizens. Many are expressing increasing disgust and outrage towards Kim Soo Hyun, accusing him of dishonesty and a lack of remorse. The decision to file a 12 billion KRW lawsuit against Kim Sae Ron’s alleged family and others, despite this new evidence, has been particularly criticized.

This development raises serious questions about the credibility of Kim Soo Hyun’s statements and the future of his legal actions. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comment section below!
