It has been revealed that parts of the text messages between Kim Soohyun and the late Kim Saeron, released by Youtube channel 'Garo Sero Research Institute,' were fabricated. It was confirmed that Kim Soohyun was actually in his unit at the time he was alleged to have contacted the late Kim Saeron on military leave.
According to Money Today's investigation on the 5th, Kim Saeron's family had publicly revealed text messages through 'Garo Sero Research Institute' in March, claiming they were sent by Kim Soohyun to the late Kim Saeron.
The messages showed Kim Sooohyun allegedly texting the late Kim Saeron around 13:48 on Monday, April 2, 2018, saying, "Everyone's so full of energy," and "Ah, I want to see Saeromero as soon as possible."
When Kim Saeron replied, "When shall we meet?" Kim Soohyun replied, "We planned to meet on Thursday (the 5th)) with XX (a friend's name)," "I want to see you right now." Kim Soohyun also allegedly added, "I'll go to the hospital later today, have dinner, and then come back from exercise around 9 PM."
That year, the late Kim Saeron was only 17 years old and sitting in the 11th grade of high school. Her family and 'Garo Sero Research Institute' CEO Kim Se-eui claimed that these messages proved that Kim Soohyun and the late Kim Saeron had dated for 6 years, from 2015 to 2021.
However, records show that Kim Soohyun was actively undergoing training at his military base at the time. Money Today obtained entries from Kim Soohyun's military diary from 2018, which clearly shows he was involved in an operation exercise from April 2 to 5:
April 2: Finished the 6th operation. It's so hot, I'm sweating a lot.
April 3: On guard duty. Tomorrow's finally the 7th operation.
April 5: Woke up this morning and it was raining. If it keeps raining, the operation today won't be canceled. In fact, it helps the titme pass faster.
A separate news report from April 4 also confirms that Kim Soohyun participated in a field training that day.
In his diary entry for April 6, he wrote, "Can't wait for my next leave." This confirms that he was in the base at least from April 2 to 6, in contrast to the argument that he scheduled a meeting with Kim Saeron on April 5.
Kim Soohyun's diary also frequently mentions his then-girlfriend, 'A.' In his diary entry for April 2, he wrote, "Every time I write in this diary, I feel stronger. I can't wait to see you and show this to you. There's only one operation left. I'll run to you soon. I'll make your heart flutter as soon as possible. I love you. Let's go see the cherry blossoms together. I hope they would fly everywhere."
In his diary entry for April 6, he wrote, "I want to write your name so badly, but I can't because I'm a 'Soldier of Interest.' I'll just say I love you. Later, I'll brag to people that you went through my whole military life with me." In contrast, there is not a single mention of the late Kim Saeron anywhere.
Kim Soohyun's legal representative, attorney Ko Sangrok, stated, "Even a small amount of data reveals the contradiction in the claims made by the late Kim Saerorn's family and 'Garo Sero Research Institute.' It appears that they mixed up the conversations Kim Saeron had with another man and presented them as Kim Soohyun's. If they had simply checked the military leave dates, they would've known that these messages weren't sent by Kim Soohyun."
He emphasized, "Even with the limited data we revealed is already enough to refute 'Garo Sero Research Institute' claims. We can disprove every claims they made."
