“Why Doesn’t Kim Soo Hyun Have a Brother Like Bae Yong Joon with Foresight?”

Kim Sae Ron’s parents are determined to seek justice for their late daughter, while Kim Soo Hyun firmly denies the claims. However, this matter falls into the realm of personal history known only to the two individuals involved. Now, with one side tragically deceased, the only potential evidence left is a pink diary reportedly documenting their past. Yet, this alone is insufficient to definitively prove their relationship.

Public sentiment overwhelmingly supports Kim Sae Ron. Not only did she pass away under tragic circumstances, but Kim Soo Hyun’s inconsistent statements have also significantly damaged his credibility. His initial denials were undone when incriminating photos emerged, forcing him to modify his timeline an approach that only fueled speculation. Instead of prioritizing explanations or apologies, he chose to remain silent, a decision that further inflamed public curiosity. Meanwhile, the three iPhones Kim Sae Ron used have become a Pandora’s box what other revelations might still surface?

Kim Soo Hyun’s side appears to have drawn the line at the now-infamous dishwashing photo, realizing that public scrutiny has gone too far. They likely feel victimized by what they see as a reckless witch hunt, leading to a heightened sense of crisis. In response, they have reportedly been reaching out to Kim Sae Ron’s acquaintances to gather details about her final days, and it seems they have made some discoveries. While they may not reveal everything to avoid further distressing her family, their strategy seems to be proving that Kim Sae Ron’s struggles were not solely due to financial pressure from Gold Medalist.

YouTuber Lee Jin Ho has already exposed the contents of a phone call between Kim Sae Ron and her former agency director regarding her marriage. Given the looming police investigation and the ongoing battle with Garo Sero Institute, it’s clear that Kim Soo Hyun’s side has no intention of backing down. Predictably, this revelation has sparked intense backlash. However, some neutral observers argue that there is little difference between Kim Sae Ron’s family leaking information to Garo Sero and Kim Soo Hyun’s side presenting their counterarguments. Still, it seems unlikely that these efforts will significantly shift public opinion.

Kim Soo Hyun’s side is reportedly preparing a sincere apology while also considering releasing details of Kim Sae Ron’s past struggles. According to insiders, this includes accounts of self-harm incidents during her time with Gold Medalist, even before she was expelled due to her DUI. The implication is that she had long suffered from severe depression and impulse control disorder.

Many will argue that exposing such personal details of the deceased is unnecessary and cruel. Critics will insist that Kim Soo Hyun should simply acknowledge the issue and offer a heartfelt apology. However, reality isn’t so straightforward. Even in minor car accidents, taking full responsibility may seem noble, but it also means accepting liability, higher insurance costs and financial repercussions. The same logic applies here confessing outright would be the simplest way to resolve the controversy, but at what cost?

Although Kim Soo Hyun and Gold Medalist seem inseparable, their survival strategies differ. Kim Soo Hyun must avoid legal repercussions at all costs, while Gold Medalist must protect his marketability to sustain their business. This conflict has led to delayed responses and entrapment in the “dating a minor” scandal narrative, ultimately squandering their golden window to take control of the situation.

Now, it’s too late for him to say, “Yes, we dated when she was a minor, but nothing happened beyond holding hands.” Nor can he expect the public to accept a selective retelling of events in his favor. Social norms hold immense power. Had Kim Soo Hyun attended Kim Sae Ron’s funeral, offered his condolences to her mother and reassured her with a simple “Don’t worry about the legal issues“, this entire fiasco might never have escalated to its current level. It’s regrettable that he lacks a mentor like KeyEast’s Bae Yong Joon, someone who could have anticipated these pitfalls and guided him with strategic foresight.
