Talking in his first press conference ever since the controversy, Kim Soo Hyun said, "I'll talk about the part you're most curious about. I did not date the deceased when she was a minor. And it is also not true that the deceased made a tragic choice because of me turning away or because my agency pressured her about her debt."
