Kim Sae-ron was once one of South Korea's most promising film stars.

Her career halted in May 2022 after she crashed her car in Seoul while driving under the influence.

A YouTube channel known for its politically charged content, HoverLab , alleged that she and Kim Soo-hyun had been in a six-year romantic relationship.

The channel released what it called evidence including photos, videos and letters.

Kim Soo-hyun's lawyer announced a civil lawsuit seeking damages against the YouTube channel and Kim Sae-ron's family.

Kim ’s death reignited criticism of South Korea's relentless tabloid and digital media culture.

Suing for defamation is often a lengthy, costly battle for South Korean celebrities.
