As Kim Soo Hyun battles lawsuit, Kim Sae Ron's ex-manager drags famous YouTuber to court: ‘He lied, I tried to save her'
Kim Sae Ron's former manager, referred to as K, has officially filed a lawsuit against popular YouTuber Kwon Young Chan for defamation. According to Sports Seoul, the complaint was submitted at the Seocho Police Station in Seoul on June 19. As per the court filing obtained by the outlet, Mr. K claims the YouTuber, who has a massive following, made serious false allegations against him on his channel over the past few months. The accusations ranged from grooming to calling him 'the man behind her death.' This comes as K-drama actor Kim Soo Hyun's lawsuit against another YouTuber, Kim Se Ui of Garo Sero, has finally landed in court — with the judge ordering Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, to seize the YouTuber's property in an attempt to recover damages caused by the accusations made against the actor. Also read: Kim Soo Hyun loses millions in assets to home appliance brand after luxury apartment seizure; fails to pay damages 'In an attempt to attract public interest, [Kwon Young Chan] created content containing false information. The accused defamed and insulted the complainant with baseless and malicious claims related to the deceased's death on his channel, Kwon Young Chan TV.' Mr K stated in a complaint filed on June 20. He claimed, YouTuber called him things like: 'the guy who sold her off,' 'slave hunter,' 'the one who caused her death,' and 'the one who leaked all her personal information.' Also read: Kim Soo Hyun's brand value drops to zero as 16 'frustrated' advertisers demand billions in damages Despite not being a public figure, the manager alleged that his face was plastered all over the thumbnail and video. 'My real name and face were continuously exposed. Claims were made that I sold Kim Sae Ron to an unknown person, leaked all information, and caused her death, all of which are untrue.' Kwon Young Chan went as far as to accuse Mr. K of grooming Kim Sae Ron and even separating her from her family, all while emotionally trapping her. He said Mr. K 'put her on an island' and described grooming as 'raising someone while gaining control over their soul.' In response, Mr. K said he only started working with Kim Sae Ron when she signed with Management Run in 2024, after quitting Gold Medalist over her 2022 DUI controversy. According to him, he was only trying to help her get back on her feet when the controversy derailed her career. He also clarified, 'I called an ambulance right away to save her,' at the time the incident occurred. 'Then I called her mother to let her know. Her mother replied, 'I can't come right now.' So the claim that I didn't inform her family is absurd.' Kwon Young Chan, in his videos, claimed that Mr. K stole or misused the money meant for hospital expenses and even committed some illegal act while breaking medical laws. Mr. K hit back, calling that pure defamation. 'I've worked as a manager for 20 years. I stayed silent amid baseless suspicions to protect the deceased's honour. But seeing these groundless claims being broadcast publicly and repeatedly, I decided I could no longer stay silent and filed the complaint.' He told Sports Seoul that the last straw was seeing his name being dragged on repeat while he hadn't even had time to properly grieve. Kwon Young Chan claims he tried contacting Mr. K through KakaoTalk and even called him more than 10 times. Since he didn't get a response, he decided to raise the questions in a broadcast.

Lovin' Life Music Fest's most popular dishes
Lovin' Life Music Fest will return in May 2026. In the meantime, you can track down some of the festival's most popular bites. Why it matters: The food, like the talent, came from all over. Some vendors are Charlotte favorites, others are road-trip worthy and a couple have built their brand on being regulars at festivals and events across the country. Here are the most popular dishes we spotted in the festival's Culinary Village, in no particular order. Fried spring rolls and pork dumplings from Saku What to expect: You won't have to go far to try these crispy, golden bites. Saku's brick and mortar restaurant in Uptown is a sought-after spot for sushi and cocktails before a night out. Stop by: Saku Yakitori and Sushi Bar is at 123 E. 5th St. in Uptown. The Funky Farmer from Roti Rolls What to expect: Roti Rolls, which claims to be Charleston's first food truck established in 2010, still regularly operates around the city with a menu of roti-style tacos, rice bowls and sides like creole mac n' cheese. What's in it: Coconut curried veggies, pickled onions, arugula and salsa verde. Stop by: Check their Instagram for food truck schedules and upcoming pop-ups. Rice Bowls from Bun'd Up What to expect: A DC-based Korean eatery known for its modern twist on Asian street food like steamed buns and rice bowls. What's in it: This particular rice bowl is filled with a heaping serving of Chicken Fried Rice, an order we saw flying out of their vendor tent frequently. Stop by: Bun'd Up has a stall D.C.'s Union District Market and a full-service restaurant in Arlington, V.A. Teriyaki Chicken Soba Noodles from Island Noodles What to expect: You might have a hard time tracking down this Hawaiian food truck, known for its wok-fried soba noodles. Island Noodles has built its brand around serving at "high profile events across the U.S. and Canada," according to its Instagram. But if you're a festival regular, there's a chance you'll cross paths with them again. What's in it: Wok-fried soba noodles topped with teriyaki chicken — bonus points for the takeout packaging. Loaded fries from The Chili Man What to expect: The Chili Man is a Charlotte legend. Owner Vic Werany (AKA The Chili Man) ran his popular Chili Dog Stand in Uptown for 16 years before retiring in 2020. Lovin' Life brought him back for the weekend, much like they did with Mr. K's last year. What's in it: Fries topped with chili, cheese and crushed Fritos. It's not that far off from The Chili Man's most famous item — the "Frito Pie Dog."
