A new development has surfaced in the case involving actor Kim Soo-hyun and the late actress Kim Sae-ron, according to a report by Dispatch. Initially, KakaoTalk messages were cited as proof of a romantic relationship between the two, despite the fact that Kim Sae-ron was still a minor at the time. However, further investigation has revealed that these messages were exchanged not with Kim Soo-hyun, but with another celebrity, referred to only as Celebrity A.
The YouTube channel HoverLab, also known as the Garo Sero Research Institute, had previously published these chats as evidence of a liaison between the two actors. In response, police carried out a forensic examination of the electronic devices used by Kim Sae-ron, retrieving past conversations, photographs, and other data. The results of this investigation have now come to light.
The report stated that no evidence was found on the devices indicating that there was any romantic involvement between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron during the relevant period. Moreover, it revealed that Kim Sae-ron was in close contact with at least four other men during this time. Police analysis reportedly successfully identified Celebrity A as the individual who sent the messages in question.
