South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun is defending himself against accusations he groomed late actress Kim Sae-ron when she was underage, getting emotional as he spoke about all the drama at a press conference.

Kim Soo-hyun sat before media in Seoul on Monday to address the allegations hurled at him by Kim Sae-ron's family that he groomed her during their relationship beginning in 2016, when she was just 15 and he was 28. The family's attorney said text messages between the two confirm the relationship. Back in February, Sae-ron died at 24 in what police say was a suicide.
