Intimate scenes in 'Real' spark outrage: Sulli's family asks Kim Soo Hyun and director for clarification

                soompi

 In an oficial statement released on March 28 by Sports Kyunghyang, the family of late actress Sulli demanded clarification from star Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang (also known as Lee Ro Be) regarding the filming of explicit scenes in the controversial film "Real" (2017).

Lee Sa Rang, in addition to directing the film, is also the co-founder of GOLDMEDALIST, Kim Soo Hyun's agency. The family is questioning the circumstances of the filming, especially a nude scene that was allegedly more explicit than intended in the original script.

The Family's Three Key Points

In the document, Sulli's family expressed their grief and solidarity with the family of the recently deceased Kim Sae Ron, but stressed that they could not ignore the troubling reports they heard during Sulli's wake in 2019.

They raised three main issues:

Script changes: The intimate scene between Sulli and Kim Soo Hyun was reportedly expanded without prior notice. The family wants to know the actor's position on the matter.

Use of a body double: There was a body double available for the nude scenes, but Sulli was apparently convinced to film them herself. Why wasn't a replacement used?

Contradictions in the justification: The production claimed that the body double was sick and absent, but witnesses at the funeral stated that she was on set. What really happened?

The Search for Answers

The family emphasized that, despite the difficulty in confirming the facts (since Sulli is no longer alive), they hope that Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Sa Rang will speak out publicly.

"We ask that you actively answer these questions, based on the accounts we heard from people present at the funeral," they said.

The case reignites the discussion about pressure on film sets and the ethics of handling sensitive scenes in the Korean entertainment industry.

While they await a response, the family ended the statement with new condolences to Kim Sae Ron's family, reinforcing their shared grief.

What will Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Sa Rang say about this? The public and media are now waiting for their position.
