Regarding the news that actress Kim Hye Soo's mother borrowed money approximately 1.3 billion KRW from acquaintances and did not return, Kim announced that she is sorry for causing worry with family matters, but does not know about the debt as she cut off the contact with her mother 8 years ago.
On July 10, her legal agency Jipyung released an official statement addressing the relationship between Kim Hye Soo and her mother that Kim Hye Soo’s mother has had money-related issues for decades now. Although Kim Hye Soo has been unaware of and completely not involved with her mother’s actions and has never received any profits, she has taken responsibility for compensation on her mother’s behalf.
According to the firm, Kim and her mother had an intense discord due to her mother's huge debt.Kim Hye Soo was promised that such financial problems would not come up again and she cut ties with her mother. Even after that, Kim Hye Soo continued to settle the past money problems caused by her mother over a long period of time. 
The firm also stressed that all the responsibility goes to not Kim Hye Soo but on her mother. It is the duty of the person who caused the problems to face the responsibility to the end. It has been confirmed that there is no basis for Kim Hye Soo to have to accept legal responsibility in place of her mother, whose actions Kim Hye Soo did not know about at all.
