I can just imagine KSH going like this:

"My team made me lie. I didn't want to, but they said I must. They pressured me to release dishonest statements, blah, blah, blah. I dated Sae Ron when she was underage, but we were just holding hands, nothing more until she came of age. My team pressured me to break up with her and forbade me from contacting her. They were in charge of my correspondence, including my phone. I didn't know she was trying to contact me because they kept me in the dark. *crocodile tears*"

This way the fault shifts from KSH to agency, while grooming aspect is minimized and overshadowed by "agency abuse". The company will close, but it can hardly survive this scandal as it is. It's a bit tricky to pull off because he's a founder, but he's shameless enough to try it.

KSH fans will swallow this eagerly and cry that he was a victim too.

On top of paying for his three crisis teams and bot farms, KSH must be paying millions in bribes to silence anyone who may have dirt on him, including his other underage victims.

Many of them are bots. Once he stops paying for them, you will see dramatic decrease in online support.

KSH cultist: He had nothing to do with her death

Meanwhile, Sae Ron: I turned into this crazy bitch who never dated him / I just called the Suicide Prevention Counseling Center. I felt like I was dying, why are people hating on me? What wrong did I do? / The fact that we dated. I didn't lie / I want to die.

You know what's sad? That being "ugly" is a worse crime than being a pedo. His fans would drop him so fast if he were to gain some weight, have pimples, start balding, etc. That's all they care about.

@Disney, why do you want to carry the cost of his scandal when he's perfectly able to pay off the penalty? He's loaded way more than is publicly known. God knows how much he has stashed offshore.

They're no better than a cult. Even if KSH were to smack someone in public, they would find excuses for him. Actually... he DID smack his fans in public, and they took it like a badge of honor.

Him casually trashing Korean women's bodies while Ajummas defend his ass.

KSH cultist: He had nothing to do with her death

Meanwhile, Sae Ron: They're basically telling me to just kill myself / I'm so dizzy right now / I'm f-cking fidgeting, I'm over / Arrrggghhhh my first love, my world is crumbling down

Her letter is his dream come true.

"You were my first and last love / Seeing you completely ignoring me and refusing to even acknowledge me makes all that time feel empty and meaningless / Do you really hate me that much? Why? / I won’t interfere in your life anymore, so please don’t hate me..."

Compare that to his post from 2008:

"I want you to be sad, want to die, and be regretful because of me. No matter who you look at, you should only think of me."

That's what he always wanted.

Poor baby. Even when he's treating her like she's worthless, she still worships him. THAT'S WHAT GROOMING IS!

I knew Sae Ron was a child, I knew she was groomed, and yet... I kind of expected them to talk like equals, almost. It's like in my mind, I still wanted her to be older, more confident or something. But these messages really hit me in the face with how young she sounds, and how easily he plays her.

I don't know how anyone can read these messages and think "Eh, it's not that bad." If you think this is acceptable way for a nearly 30 y/o man to talk to a 15/16 y/o girl...

We got a few things that luckily survived.

Those messages are so freaking creepy. She sounds like such a child and he plays her like a puppeteer.

This is so manipulative. Literally an adult playing with a child.

He is all of these things. It's not like he was a stranger who made a creepy comment online. He is saying these things to her directly, normalizing these ideas to her (i.e. a groomer), enjoying writing these things to a 16 years girl (i.e. a pedo, creep). These are not mutually exclusive.

You're just like your idol. You are the ones who bullied Sae Ron. And now you're trying to shift the blame. Get lost.

A victim of grooming does not stop being a victim just because they grew up. The person who wronged them when they were young and vulnerable still did it.

Sae Ron's life span is less than KSH's age when he started dating her. That's how young she was and how old he was.
