On the 3rd, Kim Soohyun's legal representative, attorney Ko Sangrok, stated through his channel, "Throughout his military service, Kim Soohyun wrote over 150 letters filled with gratitude, apologies, and affection towards his girlfriend. The letters were full of anticipation for dates during his leave."
Attorney Ko Sangrok explained the letters were revealed as strong evidence showing that at the time, all of Kim Soohyun's emotions were directed solely towards his girlfriend, leaving no room for other feelings.
Regarding the phrase "I miss you" found in one of the letters allegedly sent to Kim Seron, the attorney drew a line, saying, "It's something that someone serving in the military commonly say to an acquaintance on the outside, not an expression of romantic feelings or interest." He further added that the letters were simply just life updates with causal remarks like, "Okay, let's meet up once I'm on leave," without absolutely no mention of specific meeting plans, expressions of affection, or depictions of feelings towards the late Kim Saeron.
On the claim that Kim Saeron had visited Kim Soohyun's house, the attorney explained, "That visit occured only once during Kim Soohyun's leave. That house, which is under Kim Soohyun's name, was actually where the agency's CEO and Kim Soohyun's older brother live in. Kim Soohyun's brother was also present during the visit, which happened naturally as their schedules aligned. The late Kim Saeron was a mutual acquaintance of the two."
He stressed again that their relationship was nothing more than 'ordinary interaction between fellow celebrities, with no romantic feelings involved.'
On the dating rumors with Kim Saeron: "Just colleagues, lawsuit for evidence fabrication in progress."
Kim Soohyun's side strongly denied the late Kim Saeron's family's claim that he dated Kim Saeron when she was a minor, labeling it as 'fabricated evidence.' The attorney stated, "All pictures released by Gaseyeon were taken after Kim Saeron became an adult. Specifically, after the fall of her 1st year in university, back in 2019. The fabricated KakaoTalk conversations were written by a third party, ot Kim Soohyun."
He added, "Although Gaseyeon claimed to have more photos, not a single additional photo has been revealed in the past 6 months. That's because they don't exist."
The attorney concluded, "Kim Soohyun was never in a romantic relationship with the late Kim Saeron during her time as a minor, not even for a single day. Currently, a 12 Billion KRW damages lawsuit has been filed against the late Kim Saeron's family and Gaseyeon."
