TV star weeps as he denies grooming actress who died by suicide
'I can't admit to something I didn't do,' he said.
South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun has tearfully denied dating late actress Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor after allegations made by her family.
In February, Kim Sae-ron, one of the country’s most promising young stars, died by suicide at her home in Seoul at the age of 24.
After her death, in a scandal that has shocked South Korea, her family claimed that Kim Soo-hyun dated her when she was 15 and underage.
They also alleged that Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, co-founded by his relative, GoldMedalist, pressured her into repaying a debt.
At a surprise press conference in Seoul yesterday, Kim Soo-hyun refuted both claims.
