CEO of Youtube channel Garo Sero Research Institute, Kim Se-eui, released a video sent by informant 'A' on the 7th.
In the video, A claimed to have been discharged from the hospital 6 days after being attacked in New Jersey, USA, on May 1. Claiming to have sustained serious stab wounds on both arms, A stated that he was filming the video with his right hand because he couldn't use his left hand. A also showed the wounds on his arms and hands, which appeared to have been treated with antiseptic. A explained, "My hand shakes when I try to film my right shoulder. I can't remove the bandage on my fingers on my own because of the nerve issues. Initially, the bleeding wouldn't stop, but now it's under control.
Previously, during a press conference held on the same day, Kim Se-eui claimed that A had been stabbed in the neck with a sharp weapon and required over 20 stitches. However, within half a day, the location of the injury had changed.
In particular, the medical report that Kim Se-eui released states that A underwent surgery for a deep cut on the right shoulder. There is no confirmation of injuries to the left hand, upper right arm, or neck, as claimed by A and Kim Se-eui. Based on the report, it's also questionable how A could film the video with his right hand if his right shoulder was really severely injured.
A's photos were fake ... 'It's true. I sent a fabricated recording'
In response, A explained, "My Caucasian wife caused a misunderstanding. There was some tension between us." He continued, "At the time of the incident, I wasn't in a position to contact my family directly. In the end, I sent the photo, which the hospital provided as an example of what the injuries looked like, to (Garo Sero Research Institute) writer along with a voice note explaining it."
He continued, "Isn't it ridiculous to take pictures after getting stabbed? What kind of wife would point a camera at her husband after he's been attacked with a weapon?"
A also admitted to deliberately sending a fabricated recording to Kim Soohyun's agency, Gold Medalist. However, his explanation for doing so was confusing. He stated, "The reason I sent this is because I had already decided to send something to them. If I didn't send it, they would think that I was a spy. So I purposely sent something absurd."
The forensic also shows that Kim Saeron's recording is fake
However, there are suspicions that the voice recording sent by A was fabricated. On May 7, former journalist and Youtuber Lee Jinho held a press conference and revealed a forensic report stating that the voice recording was manipulated.
Lee Jinho explained, "The recording in question is found to have been created using AI-generated voice, with a third party, namely A, adding his own voice and background noise. I was shocked at how advanced AI technology has become. This person not only attempted to contact me, but also Kim Soohyun's side to demand a large sum of money. Kim Soohyun’s team reviewed the audio and confirmed they decided to ignore it."
-This is exactly the reason why you should never side with Garo Sero Research Institute no matter how desperate you are.
-Hul... So it was actually AI-generated?? Why go this far? I was seriously shocked yesterday, I thought that was real.
-So Lee Jinho is claiming that the voice recording is AI-generated, right???
-Huh?? So the voice recording was fake?
-Why would you trust Garo Sero Research Institute in the first place...
-I really hope people would leave the late Kim Saeron alone...
-Yeah... This one felt too much like a made-up story.
-I wonder if all of this is intentionally...
-So the voice recording was fake and the claim of the informant being stabbed was also a lie??
-This is so frustrating... I feel bad for Saeron.
-Honestly, it sounded fake;; Saeron's tone was too flat and consistent. It sounded like AI-generated.
-This only makes the real truth get buried... Sigh...
-Yeah... If he did get stabbed at a US airport, it would've already made the news.
-Does this informant even exist?
-Isn't this crazy? The informant faked everything?? Why would someone go this far??
