The case filed by the family of the late actress Kim Sae-ron and Garosero Research Institute chief Kim Se-eui against actor Kim Soo-hyun on charges of violating the Child Welfare Act and filing false accusations has effectively been concluded. After police issued a decision not to refer the case to prosecution due to insufficient evidence, the prosecution also did not request further investigation and has confirmed that it returned the case files to police. According to an investigation reported by Star News on the 7th, the prosecution returned the police's investigation files regarding the complaint against Kim Soo-hyun for violations of the Child Welfare Act and false accusations on the 3rd. This came about a month after police issued a no-transfer decision on July 29 and sent the files to the prosecution. Since the prosecution, after reviewing the materials, did not request additional or supplementary investigation and returned them, the police's no-transfer decision stands. Thus, the investigative procedure, which lasted about 1 year and 4 months since the complaint was filed, has effectively come to an end. Earlier, in May of last year, the family of the late Kim Sae-ron claimed that Kim Soo-hyun had been in a relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron while she was a minor and engaged in so-called "grooming," and filed a complaint against him for violations of the Child Welfare Act (child abuse, coercion of a child into lewd acts, mediation, sexual harassment, etc.). Kim Se-eui, who had disclosed this information, also filed a complaint against Kim Soo-hyun for false accusation — in response to the defamation complaint Kim Soo-hyun had filed. At the time, the family alleged: "Kim Soo-hyun, starting from the winter break of the second year of middle school, when the late Kim Sae-ron was a minor, committed lewd acts and sexual violence against her, including harassment." However, the Seoul Songpa Police Station, which investigated the case, issued a no-transfer decision on July 29 regarding the charges against Kim Soo-hyun for violations of the Child Welfare Act and false accusation, citing insufficient evidence. After comprehensively reviewing the submitted materials and factual circumstances, police concluded that it was difficult to substantiate the allegations of a relationship with the late minor Kim Sae-ron and grooming. Attorney Ko Sang-rok, representing Kim Soo-hyun, explained to Star News: "Under the Child Welfare Act, a 'child' is defined as a person under the age of 18. In this case, the investigation examined whether the claims that Kim Soo-hyun was in a relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron, including the period when she was in her final year of middle school — at which time she was 19 by Korean reckoning but had not yet turned 18 in actual age — were true, and whether any actions violating the Child Welfare Act, such as sexual or emotional abuse, occurred during that process." Meanwhile, Kim Se-eui, starting in March of last year, systematically promoted claims through YouTube broadcasts that Kim Soo-hyun had been in a relationship with the late minor Kim Sae-ron and was responsible for her death. In addition, he held press conferences on behalf of the family, disclosing an audio recording of the late Kim Sae-ron's voice and materials that he claimed were KakaoTalk conversations with Kim Soo-hyun. @IKIGAI @SATORI @↛𝒔𝒂𝓓𝓲𝓲𝓲...ღ @Kim Soo Hyun Romania Fan page @Dany ❤️🥰 @Bea 🥀 @kimmmsn1 @Ana🌳 @Любовь Любовь @ @𝓱𝔂𝓾𝓷🪼 @グローさん @Kim_Nunna~IG :mni_aerakim #kimsoohyun #philippines #TMA #kimsoohyunisback #creatorsearchinsights - @emram_11
