Additionally, the individual recording session involving the cast member on March 13 will not be aired.”
Kim Soo Hyun also organised a press conference addressing the mounting allegations against him. While he admitted dating Kim Sae Ron, he stated that it was not during her minor years. “I couldn’t accept (them) coercing me to take what’s fake as the truth. 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.”
