In the ongoing controversy surrounding Kim Soo Hyun’s alleged past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron, Kim Sae Ron’s mother has publicly addressed YouTuber Lee Jin Ho’s claim that the woman exposing Kim Soo Hyun is a “fake aunt.”
Lee Jin Ho, facing backlash for leaking sensitive recordings involving Kim Sae Ron, threatened legal action against the so-called “fake aunt.”
In response, Kim Sae Ron’s mother clarified that the woman is family in every sense and has been part of their lives for nearly two decades since the early days of Kim Sae Ron’s child acting career.
She described how they supported each other like family and shared daily responsibilities.
“Isn’t that what family is? What more must one do to be considered a real aunt?” — Kim Sae Ron’s Mother.
Kim Sae Ron’s mother further confirmed that the aunt speaks with the family’s consent and has been their representative in handling external communications related to the case.
She criticized Lee Jin Ho for distorting the issue and avoiding accountability, especially after leaking recordings suggesting that Kim Sae Ron was blackmailed into marriage and abortion—claims the family denies.
“Please stop distorting the essence of the matter. What you are doing is not about truth—it is simply your desperate attempt to survive this.” — Kim Sae Ron’s Mother.
The conflict continues as lawsuits and accusations swirl around the case, fueling growing public outrage.
