On Wednesday (April 2), Kim Soo Hyun's agency, GOLDMEDALIST reacted to these allegations through a statement and said, "Because the female lead Song Yoo Hwa, who was played by the late actress Choi Jin Ri (Sulli) had a bedroom scene in the film's script, we made clear that (the part required) an 'actress who is fine with nudity'. The late actress Choi Jin Ri and her agency reviewed all of the content before deciding to appear in the film."
Regarding the body double allegations, the agency said, "There was a 'stand in actor' who didnotact but stood in for the actor during preparations for filming, not a body double." The agency also confirmed that they never contacted Sulli's mother in the matter. "We don't even know her contact information. We understand that her brother may have been curious about the veracity of the things he heard at the funeral. However, it is difficult for us to accept bringing up matters from approximately six yearsago? now and posting things that never happened on social media as if he experienced them."?What Is the ¡®Kim Soo Hyun Prevention Act¡¯?
