In a conversation with YTN, Attorney Lee Go Eun talked about Kim Sae-Ron's suicide case and shared that since the actress was aged 15 back in 2015, the older version of the South Korean laws would apply in the case. As per the old law, criminal misconduct charges required a minor to be under 13, which means this case wouldn't fall into statutory rape because the actress was 15.

As of now, it seems like Kim Soon-Hyun isn't going to face any serious criminal charges because just being in a relationship with a minor isn't sufficient to put such charges on the actor. The investigation is still ongoing, and only time will tell whether Kim Soo-Hyun has proven not guilty in this controversial case.
