On June 6, Kim Jong-suk's older sister took to social media to share a heartfelt plea, “We are in the middle of funeral preparations, overwhelmed and heartbroken. But I'm seeing so many baseless and false claims spreading across online communities.”
She continued, “At first, we chose not to respond, hoping Jong Suk could rest in peace. But now, it has gone too far.” She revealed plans to file a report with the cyber investigation unit against defamatory posts and misinformation, adding that some media reports also contained false information. “I've requested the removal of these articles. We will soon release a summary of the police recording and a statement from the friend who was with him at the time,” she stated, as shared by AllKpop.
Kim Kong-suk family has decided to gather evidence and pursue legal action that reflects a strong stand against harmful rumors and speculation.
