With this, many are curious about the future of the lawsuit.
In a recent phone call with Kim Soo Hyun’s representative from the media outlet Star News, they said they paid all the fees without any problem.
The request for an extension the day before was due to a routine address correction and confirmation of the defendants’ addresses. We also could not easily confirm the address or name of the defendant, also referred to as the ‘fake aunt’.

They added that they will confirm the aunt’s identity sooner or later.
“If we can confirm at least the defendant’s name, contact information, or resident registration number, there is no problem. But these three things are not confirmed yet, but they will be confirmed someday because a criminal complaint has been filed against this person.
The investigative agency will also confirm the person’s personal information. However, we are trying to find a way to confirm this information a bit faster. It is difficult to predict when the first trial date will be held, but it will most likely proceed in line with the criminal case investigation.”

Netizens were frustrated that they were trying to stray away from the situation.
- “Why are they trying to identify the aunt? It doesn’t change the fact that he dated a minor.”
- “He should just die rather than live like that.”
- “Why do they keep trying to find some excuse. Isn’t the main point whether or not he dated a minor?”
- “It’s so annoying to see them trying to stray away from the situation.”
