He said, "We thoroughly examined the initial statement issued by GOLD MEDALIST, a statement that is clearly written and was sent out with the assistance of a leading attorney from a prestigious law office, focusing on the lowest legal and moral exposure for both the actor and the agency."

The father criticized the agency's demeanor, saying that it was more about the law and less about his daughter's feelings.

"But will the public believe what was said? Just because Kim Soo Hyun and/or the agency does not admit to it, does it make the letter any less romantic in nature?" he asked.

Moreover, he explained that GOLD MEDALIST had not contacted Kim Sae Ron at all regarding the lawsuit she received.

"So when Sae Ron was notified of the summons, she contacted all the agency reps one by one. He told me, nobody answered her."

He also criticized Lee Jin Ho, saying his commentary about Kim Sae Ron was invasive and unfounded.

"He behaved just like a guy who would break your house and mess everything up and then turn to you and say: 'Why is your house such a mess? What kind of having a pea-sized brain human would do anything like this, right?'" he said.

Earlier, Lee Jin Ho alleged that Kim Sae Ron treated staff poorly, accusations that her father strongly refuted.

The statement included an appeal to the credibility of Lee Jin Ho as a reporter. "Framing her as a liar - did this give your family peace/fortune?" he questioned.

When Lee Jin Ho suggested that Kim Sae Ron, For example, found a job at a cafe after her scandals, her father defended her private life, blasting the basis for speculations from Lee Jin Ho.

Just this month, Kim Sae Ron's family announced that they would sue Lee Jin Ho for defamation, regardless of his public apology.
