Firstly, I am sorry. Because of me, I think so many people are suffering. And also I feel sorry that the late actor [Kim Sae-ron] isn't able to rest in peace. I consider myself a coward. I have always been too preoccupied with holding on to what I have. I couldn’t even trust the goodwill that came my way, always fearing loss, harm and running away, denying everything. That’s why it took me so long to stand here today. So I thought about what it would have been like if I had just said everything. If I had done so, my fans and my agency who have done so much to make this press conference would suffer less. Every time something about me and [Kim Sae-ron] was exposed, [I thought to myself] let's reveal everything. I kept thinking about speaking directly and ending this hell-like situation. I hesitated every time. Thinking about the impact my decisions would have on others. Whether [my decisions] would push everybody including me into trouble. It was the same situation when [Kim Sae-ron] posted a picture of her and me when "Queen of Tears" was airing. I was together with her for about a year, about 4 years before the drama aired. But at that time, I denied our relationship. I fully understand that criticizing my choice is justified. I understand that people don't trust what I say about what happened between me and [Kim Sae-ron]. But because I only have one chance [to explain this], I would really appreciate it if you would listen to what I have to say. After i became an actor, I received so much love. I was a person didn't start with much, but I became a person who had so much to protect. Whenever there was a situation and the choice for Kim Soo-hyun as a human being and Kim Soo-hyun as a celebrity came up, I think I always chose in favor of the celebrity. When "Queen of Tears" was airing, I had so much to protect as its lead actor. What would have happened if I had admitted to a yearlong relationship. What would happen to the actors, the staff who were working overnight and the production team who had all everything staked on that project. What would happen to our agency's employees. Could I really make that decision just for my peace of mind? The more I thought of it, the more I thought that shouldn't be what I do. Kim Soo-hyun was crying during the last comment I thought that it was my reponsibility as a person who lives the life of Kim Soo-hyun. I am willing to receive any criticism that say I am selfish and cowardly. Kim Soo-hyun just stood up and apologized again and then sat back down I have a lot of worries, even at this momet. I am anxious How would my words return to me. But since I am that kind of a person, I thought I should be saying it Kim is crying There were some people giving me advice. "Just let it be. Just accept things if you are willing to manage the risk. Then you will be out of people's minds, and then you can prepare for a comeback later." If i had listened, maybe a situation where the late actor's and my private lives were disclosed would not have happened I would not have to be threatened everyday about uploading certain photos tomorrow and revealing something. And there wouldn't have been a situation where [Kim Sae-ron] was defamed by being revealed her private life through photos But I couldn't let it be. I couldn't accept (them) coercing me to take what's fake as the truth. Kim's voice got louder during these remarks I never dated [Kim Sae-ron] when she was a minor Except for the fact that both of us were actors, our relationship was just like that of any other ordinary couple And it is not true that she had made this tragic choice because of me or my agency pressuring her over a debt. Kim's voice is getting louder again We dated with good feelings and after some time, we broke up. After that, we weren't able to contact each other like we used to. Just like any other couple, contacting a lover after breaking up is a very cautious thing. We were both actors well known to the public by face and when we were together in the agency we knew each other. I also couldn't contact her easily when she had the DUI incident. From YouTube, I heard that the former CEO of the agency was having a hard time because of me when the drunk driving incident happened. But I was aware that the late actor was in a relationship with someone else. So I was very careful about contacting her.
Man, those so-called reporters and journalists at the press conference were so disappointing. They are still fixated on the t-shirt from that one photo, disregarding all the screenshots of the messages right in front of them. Shame on them.
The bozo below me thinks pedo, short form of Pedophile is a newly discovered word, i think they do not realise it has been circulating for so many years. I think they also think "ok", short for okay is also a new internet word. Blaming "wokeness" and excusing the grooming is diabolical. It has nothing to do with "wokeness". But I think it's typical rage bait.
her ex-boyfriend, ex-best friend, and ex-husband, who weren’t even seen at her funeral, are now suddenly appearing at almost the same time, and all their statements have 3 things in common, kim soo hyun is innocent, kim sae ron's mom is abusive and her family just wants money after her death. Does that make sense? And don't get me started on GaroSero's nonsense.
This was definitely thought provoking, similar to "Save me Season 1 and 2". As a religious person, this was interesting, there is a thin line between devotion and delusion. The acting was great, this was not a horror at all, this was a thriller with slight horror themes. Was the acting great? Definitely. Could the film's direction have been better? Yes. This movie basically covered all of the webtoon but it definitely could have been great as a series, slowly building the delusion of religion and how mental health affects an individual. Overall 8.5/10 (MDL ratings are sometimes not to be trusted). Please give it a watch.
