Kim Soo Hyun’s Agency Accused of Leaking Information About Kim Sae Ron’s “Aunt” – Netizens React
The informant, initially referred to as Kim Sae Ron’s “aunt”, is now the subject of heated debate, with netizens questioning her true identity and the agency’s potential role in revealing her background.
Confusion Over the Informant’s Identity
The original theqoo post pointed out discrepancies in how the informant was described. Garo Sero Institute, a YouTube channel known for exposing celebrity scandals, initially referred to the informant as “Kim Sae Ron’s aunt”. However, later media reports clarified that this person was not actually her biological aunt.
During a recent press conference held by Kim Sae Ron’s bereaved family, they made a vague statement regarding the informant’s identity:
“The deceased’s mother has no married sisters. More than anyone, the person who was like a real mother to Sae Ron, even more than her own mother, is the very ‘aunt’ who recently gave an interview.”
This led to speculation about whether the informant was truly a relative or just a close acquaintance. In Korean culture, the term “aunt” is typically used to refer to a mother’s biological sister, making the informant’s true identity a crucial factor in evaluating the credibility of her claims.
The situation took another turn when industry insiders revealed that the informant is actually the mother of a certain actor. This revelation led netizens to question whether Gold Medalist had deliberately leaked this information to undermine the credibility of the informant and shift the focus away from Kim Soo Hyun.
Netizens Call Out Gold Medalist’s Alleged Tactics
The controversy has sparked a wave of criticism online, with many accusing Gold Medalist of media manipulation and intimidation tactics. Netizens on theqoo reacted strongly:
- “That’s a clear intimidation tactic.”
- “They’re truly vicious.”
- “I seriously don’t get what they’re trying to do. Their scheme is so obvious.”
- “Do they think people will suddenly start speculating, like ‘Wait, whose mother is it?’ and go digging for it?”
- “It’s blatantly threatening. Makes me wonder if they did the same thing to Sae Ron.”
- “This is terrifying. What is a company that manipulates the media doing with someone’s child? Wow.”
- “Their tactics are so transparent.”
- “If the informant is really another actor’s mother, doesn’t that make the testimony even more credible?”
While some netizens believe this move was meant to discredit the informant, others argue that revealing her as another actor’s mother could actually strengthen her credibility rather than diminish it.
