Kim Soo-hyun's lawyer stated that restoring the actor's reputation and his return to daily life are the top priorities.

On the 1st, on YTN's "Wise Radio Life," Kim Soo-hyun's legal representative, lawyer Ko Sang-rok, appeared and discussed the detention of Kim Se-ye, the representative of Garo-Sero Research Institute (Gase-yeon).

Regarding Ko Sang-rok's statement that he is considering expanding the 12.0 billion won damages lawsuit filed against Kim Se-ui (CEO) to 30.0 billion won, he said, "At this point where actual damages have occurred and been confirmed, we must recalculate before proceeding with formal civil litigation. The amount submitted to law enforcement authorities as the extent of the damage is 30.0 billion won."

He continued, "Nothing has been decided yet; it must be thoroughly examined. As a lawyer, I believe that while criminal punishment for such heinous cyber crimes is important, it is crucial to pursue civil damages claims to ensure strict judgment. I think there must be a precedent where civil liability is strongly pursued, not only to prevent Kim Se-ye from repeating such acts after release but also to demonstrate the effect of making an example of him by destroying his economic foundation entirely."

He further emphasized, "It must be clear that actor Kim Soo-hyun or his agency is not seeking to realize social justice. Actor Kim Soo-hyun's reputation and personality were nearly erased, but they are now being restored. The actor's return to daily life is the top priority. Rather than being overwhelmed by the figure of 30.0 billion won, as the truth comes to light, I believe it is more important for society to welcome the actor back to his original position with a warm attitude and atmosphere."

Regarding Kim Soo-hyun's recent condition, he said, "In fact, objectively, he has suffered a tremendous incident. I am very cautious about mentioning the damages the actor has suffered or the mental anguish he has endured. Nevertheless, he must return with a bright demeanor."

He added, "Any news about actor Kim Soo-hyun's return or plans becomes a headline with just one word from me. That is somewhat delicate, so the agency is carefully considering the specific details. We will continue to do our best to support him until the end so that the actor can return to the public stage through his works."
