Kim Sae Ron's family hold second press conference
The late Kim Sae Ron's family held another press conference on May 7 at 2 pm in order to address the situation further and provide updates to the public as well.
The conference was held by the family members alongside their legal representative, Bu Ji Seok. The event was also attended by HoverLab's owner Kim Se Eui, who has been heavily involved in the case and has also been previously sued by Soo Hyun and his agency on grounds of stalking, as per reports from Soompi.
During the press conference, Ji Seok revealed that the late actress had been in conversation with a 'whistleblower' in New Jersey, only a month before she passed away. The actress had allegedly spoken about Kim Soo Hyun for around 1.5 hours, which was all recorded with her consent.
Whistleblower was attacked
The lawyer shared that this whistleblower that Sae Ron was in conversation with was attacked last month by two men, one of Chinese descent and the other of Korean descent.
He also shared that the case was officially being investigated in the States by the FBI. He shared that 'The family earnestly pleaded that we reveal a part of the recording, as this incident could get more severe if we wait more.'
A recording of Kim Sae Ron revealed
The alleged recording of the late actress was played during the press conference. The actress can be heard talking about her relationship with the actor, sharing that 'I dated Soo Hyun oppa. You might say I'm crazy and not believe me, but I dated him since I was in middle school, and we broke up after I went to college.

Soo Hyun oppa and those GOLDMEDALIST people are really scary and will do anything.'
The actress then also revealed that the actor had sent her photographs of him engaging with another woman. She stated that 'I feel like I was used since middle school. Honestly, I was his girlfriend, and he knows how I was to him since middle school, but after the accident, they all made me out to be a weird person. What's really crazy is that he sent me a photo taken while he was doing 'it' with someone else.'
Sae Ron also shared that due to circumstances she was not able to reveal the incident. She shared that 'He said the idol he slept with smells like miyeok (seaweed), so he had her name saved as 'miyeok' in his phone and sent me that. If I were in better circumstances, I would've revealed everything already.'
Sae Ron then continued and shared in the recording that 'The first time I did it with him was during winter break in my second year of middle school.
Thinking about it now, it was done to me. Not many people know about when I dated him in middle school, but they all reacted the same way. They asked why I just let him be.'
The family has filed a criminal case against Kim Soo Hyun
The family of late actress Kim Sae Ron shared through their legal representatives that they have filed a criminal case against Soo Hyun under the
Child Welfare Act
as well as for false accusation.
The lawyer also issued a statement in the matter where he revealed that along with the whistleblower's safety, the family members of Kim Sae Ron were also being allegedly targeted.
He shared that 'In addition to threats to the whistleblower's safety, there have recently been sightings of suspicious vehicles suspected of stalking near the home of the late Kim Sae Ron's aunt. We earnestly request police protection for the bereaved family and for CEO Kim Se Eui.'

South Korea's jailed ex-President Yoon defies probe, removes prison uniform to avoid questioning
Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol refused questioning once again on Friday by stripping off his prison uniform and lying on the floor of his detention cell. read more South Korea's jailed ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol again refused to attend questioning by investigators Friday, using a new method to resist: He took off his prison uniform and lay down on the floor at his detention room. Yoon, removed from office in April over his ill-fated imposition of martial law, was sent back to prison last month as he stands a high-stakes trial over rebellion and other charges. Yoon, a conservative, faces investigations into other criminal allegations that are not related to his Dec. 3 martial law decree but target him, his wife and others. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD On Friday, Min Joong-ki, a special counsel named by his liberal rival and new President Lee Jae Myung, sent investigators to retrieve Yoon from a detention center near Seoul after the former president twice defied requests to attend questioning. Min's team is tasked with delving into allegations surrounding Yoon's wife Kim Keon Hee, including that she and her husband exerted inappropriate influence on the then-ruling party's election nomination process in 2022. Min's team had a court-issued detention warrant that authorized them to bring Yoon out of his detention facility by force, but said they were hoping for his voluntary cooperation. 'Without wearing his prison uniform, the suspect lay down on the floor and strongly resisted his detention,' assistant special counsel Oh Jeong-hee told a televised briefing. Justice Minister Jung Sung-ho separately told lawmakers that Yoon took off his shorts and short-sleeved shirt and put them back on after investigators left. Oh said her team members refrained from using physical means out of safety concerns, but notified Yoon that they would execute the warrant next time. She urged Yoon to cooperate as the Korean people are closely watching whether the enforcement of law is applied to everyone equally. Yu Jeong-hwa, a lawyer for Yoon, accused the special counsel team of trampling on Yoon's dignity and honor by discussing his dress in prison, according to local media reports. Yoon's defense team earlier said Yoon was unable to attend his trial and undergo questioning by investigators because of heath problems. They said in a statement Thursday that Yoon has cardiovascular, autonomic nervous system and eye issues. They cited an unidentified hospital as saying that Yoon faces the risk of blindness because he failed to receive medical treatment for the past three months. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Yoon's imposition of martial law, which brought armed troops into Seoul streets, lasted only several hours before lawmakers voted down his decree unanimously. Yoon has argued his decree was a desperate attempt to draw public support of his fight against the 'wickedness' of Lee's Democratic Party, then the main opposition party which had obstructed his agenda, impeached top officials and slashed the government's proposed budget.

Humanoid robot in China enrolls for PhD in drama and film. Says, 'If I fail, I'll be donated to a museum'
— jimuglobal (@jimuglobal) Acting, Algorithms and Aesthetic Exchange Applause and Apprehension In a striking convergence of science fiction and the performing arts, China's first humanoid robot Xueba 01 , has been officially admitted into a PhD programme in Drama and Film. The decision, announced during the World Artificial Intelligence Conference on July 27, has ignited a flurry of fascination, admiration, and healthy scepticism across Chinese social to a report from South China Morning Post, developed jointly by the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology and DroidUp Robotics, Xueba 01 stands 1.75 metres tall, weighs around 30 kilograms, and can physically interact with people. Dressed in a crisp shirt, trousers, and glasses, with silicone skin designed for nuanced facial expressions, the robot even communicates fluently in cybernetic scholar's name borrows from a Chinese slang term, xueba, which refers to an academically gifted student. And the name is proving apt. Xueba 01 is now set to embark on a four-year doctoral journey at the Shanghai Theatre Academy (STA), one of China's top institutions for the performing arts, with a focus on traditional Chinese opera According to Shangguan News, Xueba 01 will study under Professor Yang Qingqing, a respected Shanghai-based artist. The robot's curriculum is as ambitious as any human student's: stage performance, scriptwriting, set design, motion control, and language Yang sees more than just a technical marvel. Recalling a rehearsal session where Xueba 01 mimicked the legendary 'orchid fingers' gesture of Peking opera icon Mei Lanfang, Yang shared that human students instinctively mirrored the robot's movement.'When Xueba 01 interacts with his classmates, it is not a cold machine meeting humans, but an aesthetic exchange across species,' said robot calls itself an 'AI artist,' aspiring to forge friendships, exchange ideas on scripts, assist in choreography, and even play calming white noise for stressed peers. If he completes the programme successfully, he could become an opera director in a museum or theatre—or even launch his own AI art many see Xueba 01's admission as a groundbreaking step in blending art and technology, the move has also sparked a spirited online debate.'Chinese opera needs rich expressions and a unique voice,' one student wrote on social media. 'Can a robot really make the cut?'In a witty response, Xueba 01 said, 'If I fail to graduate, my system and data might get downgraded or deleted. Professor Yang said if I don't finish my PhD, they'll donate me to a museum. That sounds pretty cool too. At least I'll be part of art history!'Still, not everyone is amused. Some users questioned whether the resources spent on the robot could have been allocated to real students, pointing out that some arts PhD candidates in China earn less than 3,000 yuan (US$420) a month. Others questioned the emotional depth of AI-generated art, arguing that lived human experience remains irreplaceable in creative earlier version of Xueba 01 once ran a humanoid half-marathon, bagging third place. But this latest leap—into the realm of opera scripts and theatrical nuance—might be his most daring yet.'Xueba 01 is taking on a milestone challenge in human-robot relations,' said one online observer. 'We've finally reached the point of living and learning alongside robots. I hope he does well.'
