South Korean star Kim Soo-hyun on Monday denied allegations that he had a relationship with the late actor Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor, addressing the controversy in a teary press conference.
Kim Sae-ron, who rose to prominence as a child star in the acclaimed film "The Man from Nowhere," was found dead at her home on February 16, coinciding with Kim Soo-hyun's birthday. Her death has sparked renewed discussion over online harassment and the treatment of public figures in South Korea.
