[K-Enter] Kim Sae-ron's bereaved family sue YouTuber for defamation

So, Walter we start off on some news regarding a lawsuit between the family of Kim Sae-ron and a well-known YouTuber.

The family of late actress Kim Sae-ron have filed a complaint against YouTuber Lee Jin-ho , on defamation charges.

The lawyer representing Kim Sae-ron's family, submitted the complaint against Lee to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency on Monday afternoon. The charge is defamation due to the spread of false information.

The YouTuber had accused Kim Sae-ron of posing as actor Kim Soo-hyun's girlfriend. Lee Jin-ho had posted content on his channel claiming that Kim Sae-ron was spreading false information, calling it a "staged romance." Lee has been a critic of Kim since 2022 when she was involved in a drink driving incident.

Kim Sae-ron's legal team claim the accusations put a severe mental toll on her.

The lawyer representing Kim Sae-ron's family stated, (quote) "In order to disprove this false information, the family had no choice but to reveal the truth about their relationship and release past photos as evidence."

The family are also considering legal action against Kim Soo-hyun.
