The video of Kim Soohyun that Garo Sero Research Institute released

 

He suggested getting rid of their phones and start talking on Telegram (for communication)

theqoo

-It's so heartbreaking to see how bright and pure Saeron looked in the video.

-Why don't you just admit everything and apologize, you mean bastard?

-I feel so bad to see Saeron's face... What about Saeron? Ah...

-Is he going to deny this too?

-It almost feels like she’s still alive, and it makes me feel really strange…

-I mean... How could he not attend the funeral of someone he was in a relationship with? That is just inhumane.

-Saeron was so young and beautiful... I hope she's at peace now...

-He said he never went to her house. That lie got exposed so quickly.

-Wow… She was really beautiful… How could he do that to her?

-That young girl called it 'date', but all they did was just stay at home.. And he only contacted her through Telegram.

-Saeron-ah, I hope you’re no longer in pain and have found peace.

-I wonder how Saeron's parents must've felt when they watched this video... Apologize now.

-Ugh… All this because of one terrible man…ㅜㅜ

-Stop touching her back, you perverted pedo bastard.

-Why did you have to go...? It's not you who should go...

Kim Saeron's family: "Kim Soohyun's response is disappointing ... Decides on photo forensics"


After reviewing the statement from Kim Soohyun's agency, Gold Medalist, the family of the late Kim Saeron expressed, "We only wanted an apology. We are disappointed," and announced on the 18th that they have decided to conduct a forensic analysis of Kim Saeron and Kim Soohyun's past photos.

A representative from Kim Saeron's family told Hankyung.com, "We have decided to conduct a digital forensic analysis on photos that can prove Kim Saeron was in a relationship with Kim Soohyun when she was a minor."

Additionally, they plan to release a video of Kim Soohyun and Kim Saeron taken during their relationship through the Youtube channel Garo Sero Research Institute.

The head of the Korea Celebrity Suicide Prevention Association, Kwon Youngchan, stated, "Kim Saeron tried to protect Kim Soohyun until the very end. She even worried, thinking, 'What should I do if something like this happens in the future?' She debated whether or not to proceed with forensics." The family also claimed that Kim Soohyun's side suggested, "Let's use Telegram instead of KakaoTalk (for communication."

They added, "Kim Soohyun's agency revealed a photo of a condolence wreath sent to Kim Saeron's wake, but only a staff member attended, not Kim Soohyun himself. They were in a long-term relationship, shouldn't he have been there in person?"

theqoo

-I didn't know he was this kind of person, he's cold and cruel...

-He's really like a psychopath.

-I really didn't expect things to unfold like this. Kim Saeron's family kept giving him chances, though...

-Looks like he's just always been that kind of person.

-I'm worried about who KSH is dating right now. He wouldn't have fixed his pedophilia overnight. I think he might be grooming another young girl. If he is, I really want to rescue that girl.

-Things wouldn't have gotten this big if he had apologized.

-Apologize and retire.

-Kim Soohyun... He's really hiding until the end.

-He's really digging his own grave.

-Is it that hard to apologize? Just admit your wrongdoings, Kim Soohyun.

-If it was my daughter, I would do whatever it takes... Just admit everything and apologize.

-I think child sex offenders deserve to die.

-Forensic analysis is the most accurate way to judge... Fighting. Please stay strongㅠㅠ

-Why doesn't he just apologize? Does he still think he can bury things?

Why it's meaningless for Kim Soohyun's company to attack Kim Saeron's aunt with personal information

 

Garo Sero Research Institute described the informant who leaked Kim Soohyun's private life as 'Kim Saeron's aunt.' However, articles reported that the informant is not actually her aunt. Additionally, at today's press conference, the family stated, "(The deceased's) mother does not have a married sister. The 'aunt' who recently gave an interview is an aunt who is more like a real mother to Saeron than her own mother." They also added that "She is more like a biological aunt than (Saeron's) actual biological aunt." It is common sense that when you identify yourself as an 'aunt' through the media, it means that you are the mother's biological sister. Whether the informant is an actual relative or just a close acquaintance could influence the public's trust. However, at the press conference, the family was vague about whether the informant was an actual relative or just a family-like acquaintance. Recently, multiple industry insiders have informed us that the informant is actually the mother of a certain actor.

In the statement that was released by Kim Soohyun's agency today,

they threatened by revealing that Kim Saeron's aunt is the mother of a certain actor.

Reactions from people who saw this:

Now I know that the informant is an actress’s mother, I don’t know which actress it is, but she must have been raised by a good mother.

It's even more amazing that she stepped up like that even though her daughter is an actress herself. She could have stayed quiet to protect her own child, but she didn’t.

This just confirms that the actress was raised by a great mother.


-I'm moved by her loyalty... She stepped up to help even though she's not her biological family.

-It's amazing. She's doing more than a biological aunt would.

-It's very pathetic of him to use this as a threat. There's seriously no bigger idiot than him.

-This is blatant intimidation.

-The fact that she’s an actress’s mother and still chose to expose this makes her even more admirable.

-That's right. It wouldn't have been an easy decision for her, considering that her daughter is in the same industry.

-She probably knows well how entertainment journalists are and yet she still chose to step up.

-At this point, she’s basically her family.

-So what if she’s an actress’s mother? If anything, this will only bring her more support if her identity is revealed.

-This actually makes her even more trustworthy

-She's truly an incredible person, isn't she? She's stepping up as if this were her own child's problem. What's wrong with him?

-Didn't Kim Saeron's family already address this issue directly?

-His threatening skill is extraordinary. This makes me even more sorry for Kim Saeronㅠ

-Why are you attacking an acquaintance, you crazy bastard?

-I don’t even know who the actress is, but this just makes me like her.

The part that Kim Soohyun's side is currently overly obsessed with

Recently, multiple industry insiders have informed us that the informant is actually the mother of a certain actor.

Kim Saeron's 'Aunt'

Kim Saeron's side has been explaining this since the issue first came up.

The aunt and Kim Saeron have had a relationship for over 20 years and Kim Saeron has been calling her 'aunt' since she was a child. Also, when the aunt was interviewed, Kim Saeron's parents were there with her.

The cousin who lent Kim Saeron her phone to text Kim Soohyun is also the daughter of this aunt.

But today, they suddenly claimed that they received a tip and are exposing the aunt’s identity, saying she’s the mother of a certain actor.

Is this really an important issue right now? Regardless of importance, I don’t even understand what the problem is.


-I also call my mom's friend 'aunt.' What's wrong with calling someone an aunt?

-What does that matter? It's not like this aunt has been lying behind Kim Saeron's family's back. She came forward with them. It sounds like they're just nitpicking because they're cornered.

-Why are they so obsessed with that?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Whether she's really her aunt or not, focus on the facts!!!!!

-I don't have a single biological aunt, but I have hundreds of women I call 'aunts' around me~! So what?

-So what?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa... They're exposing the aunt's identity like a threat. It sounds like they're saying, "Your daughter is an actress, right?"

-They’re just trying to derail the conversation by making people doubt the informant's credibility so no one will discuss the main issue. Do they really think that’ll work?

-Calling your mom’s friend 'aunt' is super common. Even if she's the mother of a certain actor, does that change any facts?

-I also call my mom’s friends 'aunt.' What’s the problem?

-Huh? Isn’t this a threat? They’re basically saying, “We're gonna end your actress daughter’s career.”

-Is it even possible to be this pathetic?

-If someone who isn’t even a biological aunt is willing to step up like this, it just shows that Kim Saeron must have lived well.

-Are they threatening her? Just because they’re in the same industry?

-Are they not Korean? The title 'aunt' can be used for so many different relationships in this country.

-Wow, they must really have nothing else to nitpick.

Kim Soohyun's habit

 



-What is this?

-Wow, how can people just turn a blind eye to this?

-Wow, his fans really buried this... That is surprising.

-I mean... Not even playful taps? He's actually hitting them...?

-See? I always thought there was something off about him. His way of speaking and acting has always looked strange to me.

-Those people paid money to come and see him, didn't they...? Why is he doing that to them?

-What's wrong with him? Is he crazy?

-Hul... This is my first time seeing these gifs. Now I understand why seeing Kim Soohyun always gave me a bad feeling.

-Why did he hit them?? Even if there was a reason, that kind of behavior isn’t acceptable;;

-Why... did people even like him...?

-He’s doing that to his fans?

-... What is f*cking wrong with him...??

-Honestly, I find his fans so fascinating.

-If a celebrity I liked did that to me, I’d stop being a fan immediately.

-The video is shocking, but it also looks like it was sped up a lot.

Kim Soohyun's side: "The person in the photo is not Kim Soohyun"

https://v.daum.net/v/20250318152701076

Kim Soohyun's side stated, "The family and Garo Sero Research Institute are continuously making claims that are not true through press conferences and reports," adding, "For example, we attended the late Kim Saeron's funeral and the person in the photo posted on Kim Saeron's fan account is not Kim Soohyun, but someone else."

They added, "We ask you to stop trying to damage Kim Soohyun's reputation based on photos and online posts that are unrelated to the incident." 




-They must really have nothing to say. Don't they realize that this will just lead to more photos being released?

-Can he continue his career after this?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just apologize and disappear already.

-Keep lying and see how far that gets you.

-Garo Sero Research Institute will be thrilled to hear this.

-Ugh... I really hate him.

-Looks like even more evidence will come out then...

-Even YG refrained their artists from posting on social media during the mourning period...

-They're insisting it's not him because it's hard to prove otherwise.

-Why don't they just hire a lawyer??? They were so quick to send legal notices.

-Ah... So that person in the red padding jacket is not Kim Soohyun?

-Then what about the dishwashing photo? They’re not denying that one.

-His side profile is clearly visibleㅋㅋ And they’re saying it’s not him?

-I knew they would do thisㅋ What about him luring a minor through Telegram?

-At least that means it's really him in the other photos.

-Guess all the evidence is about to come out now.

Kim Soohyun's side changes stance after Kim Saeron's photo release: 'Taking legal action' → 'Willing to negotiate'

Upon reviewing the 1st and 2nd legal notices Gold Medalist sent to Kim Saeron, it was confirmed that the agency, which initially strongly urged (Kim Saeron) to repay the debt, slightly changed their stance after Kim Saeron posted her picture with Kim Soohyun, stating, "Let's have a discussion about the repayment and methods."

Among the 2 legal notices obtained by Hankyung.com on the 18th, the 1st notice contained the statement that said, "As the legal representative of our client, Gold Medalist, we hereby urge you to fulfill your debt repayment as follows." This legal notice was sent on 15 March 2024, addressed to Kim Saeron's legal name after he changed her name to 'Kim Ah-im.'

It continued, "You borrowed 686,409,654 KRW from our client on 22 November 2022 under a loan with an agreement to repay it by 31 December 2023," and stated, "You failed to repay the loan even after the due date arrived." The notice added, "Therefore, on behalf of our client, we urge you to repay the full amount of the loan to the account specified below as soon as possible. If you fail to do so, we inform you that our client will take civil and criminal legal action against you."


After receiving the 1st legal notice, Kim Saeron reportedly reached out to Kim Soohyun and the agency's officials to request an extension on the repayment deadline but received no response. Kim Saeron tried to call and sent messages to Kim Soohyun multiple times, but he did not answer. When she couldn't reach him, she used her friend's number to reach him. She even sent him a message that said, "It's not that I don't want to repay you. It's that I can't. Please save me." When she still received no response, she posted a photo of herself with Kim Soohyun, cheek-to-cheek, on social media in the early morning of March 24 and deleted it within 3 minutes. She did this to get a response from the agency.

Kim Saeron's family revealed that she received a 2nd legal notice following this, and disclosed the content of it.

On March 25, Kim Soohyun's legal representative sent another legal notice stating, "Through the legal notice dated March 15, we have already urged repayment of the debt," and explained, "The reason for urging debt repayment is that if our client's agency does not collect the debt despite the due date, there is a possibility that the agency's executives may be charged with breach of trust."

They also added, "Regarding the difficulty you expressed, we are willing to proactively discuss the method and timing of the debt repayment with you. We hope you will suggest a possible debt repayment schedule to our law firm."

Furthermore, the legal notice also emphasized that Kim Saeron should refrain from contacting Gold Medalist's executives and actors regarding debt repayment.

The also mentioned the drama 'Quen of Tears,' in which Kim Soohyun was starring in at that time, referring to the photo Kim Saeron posted on her social media.

Kim Soohyun's legal representative pointed out, "The concerned actor is currently starring in a drama that is airing, so your actions could impact not only the actor and our client's agency, but also the drama production company, other cast members, staff, broadcasting stations, OTT platforms, and other related parties. This is a significant matter that can lead to major legal issues."

They continued, "We urge you to refrain from actions that can cause significant disruption to the business of our client's company and related parties, like what you did on March 24."


In the 1st legal notice, Kim Soohyun's side showed a strong stance, but in the 2nd legal notice, they included polite expressions and requests. This suggests that after Kim Saeron leaked the photo, there was a subtle change in Kim Soohyun's side, leading to their willingness to discuss repayment in a more forward-looking manner.

However, lawyer Boo Jiseok, the legal representative of Kim Saeron's family, argued, "Although they mention that they had no choice because it could lead to a breach of trust, the notice essentially says that they would extend the deadline."

Boo further stated, "They threatened her to refrain from contacting the actors under Kim Soohyun's agency and to take legal action regarding the photo she posted," emphasizing that it was intimidation. Kim Saeron's side also revealed that after the 2nd legal notice, Kim Soohyun never contacted her again.

In response, Kim Saeron’s family has hinted at taking legal action against Kim Soohyun.



-Whoa... That's really mean. How could he do that?

-I feel like throwing up.

-They were in a relationship for so long, did he really think there wouldn't be any evidence..?

-I mean... Why is he making someone else compensate for his own mistakes?ㅋ Who taught him to do that?

-He has so much money and he still did that...

-I think he could be sued for blackmailing.

-Don't you dare to think about dying. You better beg for forgiveness and accept your punishment.

-Why the hell is he telling her not to contact anyone?

-I never liked Kim Soohyun since the first time I saw him. I'm so proud for the fact that I never watched any of his works. He's just evil at his core.

-I wish there were punishments for people who just file lawsuits to torment others.

-Looks like he won't apologize even if he dies. I've lost all the remaining respect I had for him. They just wanted an apology, not a settlement. Kim Soohyun and his family can go straight to hell.

-I guess you have to be this shameless to commit child sex crimes.

-Objectively speaking, they're just stating facts.

-I feel really sorry for Saeron.

-ㅋㅋ If you were Saeron's parent, would you agree to negotiate? ㅋㅋ

A comment on Weibo about the 2nd legal notice that Kim Soohyun sent to Kim Saeron that received 7,000 likes

 

Looking back now, it seems like Kim Soohyun's agency deliberately targeted Kim Saeron. Every time she did something, multiple lawyers would get involved, warning her that she would be sued and the compensation amount would only increase as more cases were added. In the end, she had no other option but to either d*e or go to jail.

After all, the mouth of the dead is the one that remains the most tightly shut.

If this assumption is true, it is very terrifying. Because that would mean they intentionally drove her to suicide with a clear purpose and intention. That's why he looked so happy singing on 'Good Day,' because he felt relieved after Kim Saeron passed away.

theqoo

-The way he tormented her to death is very psychopath-like.

-Exactly.

-No human could do this. He seems to have given up on being a decent human. He's a piece of trash.

-This is not suicide, it's murder.

-I know right. His side kept pushing her into a corner.

-This is so sad...

-They basically told her to d*e.

-Imagine how scared Kim Saeron must've been...

-Honestly, this is why I find him even scarier. I just can't see him as a human being anymoreㅠ

-This is really scary. How could he not even attend her funeral?

-This is so heartbreaking... I hope he suffers for the rest of his life.

-That's right. She was driven to suicideㅠㅠㅠ

-That last sentence sent chills down my spine...

-This is giving me goosebumps...ㅠㅠㅠ

-It's hard for foreigners to judge 100% accurately because they have to rely on translations. How clear must their purpose be for foreigners to understand? This was murder.

The 1st legal notice Kim Soohyun's side sent to Kim Saeron (2024.03.15) → 2nd legal notice (2024.03.25)

 

1. Wishing you endless prosperity.

2. As the legal representative of our client, Gold Medalist, we hereby urge you to fulfill your debt repayment as follows.

3. As you know, you borrowed 686,409,654 KRW from our client on 22 November 2022 under a loan with an agreement to repay it by 31 December 2023. However, you failed to repay the loan even after the due date arrived. Therefore, on behalf of our client, we urge you to repay the full amount of the loan to the account specified below as soon as possible. If you fail to do so, we inform you that our client will take civil and criminal legal action against you.

Kim Saeron sent a message to Kim Soohyun after receiving the 1st legal notice that stated his side would file civil and criminal lawsuits against her if she failed to repay 700 M KRW within the given period.


Oppa, this is Saeron.

I received the legal notice, it says you're suing me... You said you would give me plenty of time, so I've been working hard to prepare for my comeback. I plan to gradually pay back a percentage from each project I take on. I'm not saying that I won't pay the money back, but if you ask me for 700 Million KRW right now, I just physically can't. Do we really have to resort to a lawsuit? Please save me...I'm begging you. Please give me some time.

This is the message Kim Saeron sent to Kim Soohyun using her cousin's number on 19 March 2024.

(She had previously tried to contact Kim Soohyun and his agency with her own number but didn't receive any responses. So, she tried to send him a message using another number)

As there was still no response, Kim Saeron eventually posted this picture on 24 March 2024.


She posted their picture on her Instagram story for 2-3 minutes before immediately deleting it.

And then, the very next day, she received...


Hello, I am lawyer Kim Jongbok, the legal representative of Gold Medalist.

I contacted you for an explanation as I was informed that Kim Saeron is overly concerned and has some misunderstandings about the legal notice we sent. However, I have been told that the Vice President of Gold Medalist has already explained the purpose (of the legal notice) in detail. As the vice president has stated, Kim Saeron's debt to the company can be repaid within a reasonable timeframe and in a method that aligns with her circumstances. We suggest discussing the matter with our legal team in the future. If you need a more detailed explanation or a phone call.... (See more)

A message 'guiding' her to renegotiate the schedule and repay the debt within a reasonable timeframe.


(Summary of the 2nd legal notice)

1. Gold Medalist is willing to adjust the repayment method and deadline (If she proposed any adjustments, Gold Medalist would be open to negotiations)

2. Do not contact any of Gold Medalist's actors or employees.

3. The photo Kim Saeron posted on 24 March 2024 may cause damage to 'Queen of Tears' that was currently airing at the time and lead to legal issues, so she should refrain from such actions.

She received this 2nd legal notice on 25 March 2024.

Kim Soohyun's side did not respond to Kim Saeron at all after they sent the 1st legal notice, leaving her no choice but to act that way... Only for them to threaten her again with the 2nd legal notice.

Kim Saeron never told anyone about the 2nd legal notice. It was not known until her family discovered it later while sorting through her belongings after she passed away.

theqoo

-They pushed her off the edge. They drove her to death.

-He's such an evil... Pay for your sins.

-What an evil... Are you even a human?

-This is the biggest scandal in the history of the entertainment industry... Even Satan would have surrendered.

-A 2nd legal notice in just 10 days?

-She was really driven to suicide.

-Legal issues aside, his attitude and personality are truly chilling. He's not a human.

-Just shut that company down. What if they do the same thing to other celebrities?

-Even the devil would cry seeing this.

-Did Kim Saeron not have any agency at that time? Why is that text sent to her manager?

-He destroyed her mentally…

-Murderer.

-It was very cruel of him to tell her not to contact other actors from the company. Who does he think he is?
