Actor Kim Soo-hyun again denied allegations of underage dating during a lawsuit against cosmetics brand A.

On the 13th, the 22nd Civil Affairs Department (B) of the Seoul Central District Court held the second hearing of a lawsuit for damages worth 2.8 billion won filed by Company A against Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Soo-hyun's agency, the Gold Medalist.

The court decided to watch the results of the defamation charge against Kim Se-eui, CEO of the YouTube channel Horizontal Sero Research Institute, on whether Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron violated their duty to maintain dignity as an advertising model due to their underage relationship.

Currently, Company A pointed out that Kim Soo-hyun denied the romantic relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron in the past and insisted, "The claim that he met after becoming an adult should also be viewed as an extension of the bond that has continued since he was a minor," while Kim Soo-hyun said, "The actual relationship took place after the other person became an adult." Rumors whose authenticity has not been confirmed cannot be grounds for termination, and it is difficult to understand how companionship between adults violates the duty to maintain dignity," he countered.

Earlier, a representative of Company A said, "Due to the controversy over the late Kim Sae-ron, model Kim Soo-hyun violated his duty to maintain dignity and cannot fulfill the advertising contract," adding, "We claim damages accordingly." "Before the death of the late Kim Sae-ron, I had informed SNS that I had dated (Kim Soo-hyun). At the time, Kim Soo-hyun did not acknowledge the relationship itself, and when the relationship was revealed to the surface after his death, Kim Soo-hyun changed his position and claimed, "It is correct that we had friendship, so the dating period is after we became adults." Kim Soo-hyun, who the public viewed as a "superstar," is a violation of dignity just because she dated a minor, Lee Seong, he said.

Regarding the fact that Kim Soo-hyun denied the rumors of a romantic relationship for the first time, he said, "At that time, the contract itself did not exist between the plaintiff and the defendant. It is difficult to understand how denying the romantic relationship theory when it was not even the contract period violated the obligation to maintain dignity," he countered.

Company A has increased the scope of damages to 2.86 billion won and said, "If the model violates the dignity maintenance clause, it must pay twice the model fee. In addition, we actually calculated the damage that occurred," he explained. In response, Kim Soo-hyun said, "The basic position is that the contract cannot be terminated because it is not a violation of the obligation to maintain social dignity," adding, "There is no reason to compensate for damages because the contract cannot be considered to have been terminated due to the defendant's negligence."
