Now, the actor’s legal firm, LKB & Partners, issued a statement via YTN Star. “We paid all the necessary court fees and delivery charges. It is not true that we failed to pay the lawsuit fees.” The company revealed the reason behind the deadline extension. It stated, “The request to extend the correction deadline was made to fix the defendant’s address, not because of unpaid fees.”

On April 17, reports from the Seoul Central District Court revealed an issue with the documents Kim Soo Hyun’s team submitted. The legal team originally filed a claim for 12 billion KRW in damages. However, the court only registered 11 billion KRW (around 7.77 million USD). Subsequently, the court asked them to fix the discrepancy and resubmit the suit, making the necessary fee adjustments. For the unversed, the court fee is usually based on the amount being claimed. For this case, the estimated fees are around 38 million KRW (around 26,700 USD).
