Stabbed in the neck 9 times? ... 'Kim Saeron recording' informant changes story, admits to fake photos

 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'

It has been confirmed that the photos of A's neck and hand that Kim Se-eui revealed at the press conference were stolen from a stock image website.

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

A, who claimed to have heard from Kim Saeron about her relationship with Kim Soohyun sent a voice recording to Garo Sero Research Institute. In the file, she stated that she dated Kim Soohyun in 2015, when she was still a minor.

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??

The late Kim Saeron in a recording: "The first time I did it was in the winter break of the 8th grade ... He even sent me videos"

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/213/0001337428

The family has released an audio recording of the late Kim Saeron, and the contents are reportedly shocking.

On the 7th, Kim Saeron's family held an emergency press conference at an undisclosed location in Seoul and made public an audio file containing her voice.

In the recording, Kim Saeron stated, "I dated Kim Sohyun. You might not believe me and think I'm crazy, but we dated since I was in middle school and broke up in college. We were together since I was a minor." She continued, "Kim Soohyun and the people at Gold Medalist are really scary and capable of anything, so this absolutely has to stay a secret."

"Thinking about it now, even though it doesn't make sense, I feel like he has been taking advantage of me since I was in middle school. Honestly, I was his girlfriend. He knows everything I've done for him since middle school. However, since the (DUI) incident, he made me look like I'm a crazy b*tch when it comes to money. What's even more unbelievable is that he showed me pictures he took while he and I did it."

She continued, "He even told me that a female idol he slept with smelled like seaweed and that he saved her name as 'seaweed' in his phone. If I had the means, I would expose everything." She also stated, "The first time I did it with him was during the winter break of the 8th grade. Thinking about it now, I feel like I was taken advantage of. Everyone asks me why I don't do anything about it."

theqoo

-I listened to the audio recording and now I feel sick... Poor Saeron-ie.

-How can someone like that still walk around shamelessly with his head held high?

-That crazy bastard is truly disgusting.

-F*ck... An 8th grader... He completely gave up on being human.

-My 9th grader still seems like such a baby to me... How could someone go after a middle school student? He deserves to go to hell, seriously.

-Korean society keeps producing sex offenders. I hope all women survive this world.

-8th grade?????? Isn't that criminal...?

-'Seaweed'??? This Hannam is f*cking insane.

-I'm so disgusted that I couldn't even bring myself to read the full post and scrolled down to the comment section immediately.

-And he still calls himself a human??

-I have a son in 8th grade... He's still a baby...

-I wonder if that female idol was also underage at the time...?

-What the f*ck did I just read?

-Seducing an 8th grader?? What the f*ck?

-This is so horrifying... An 8th grader... Oh my God...

-You can clearly see how the director views women through this movie...

-The way he thinks about women is disgusting.

-He is truly a piece of trash.

-Did Suzy really get a tattoo for 6 hours just to appear for 5 seconds???

-Narcissist... That's what he is. He treats everyone as props.

-Crazy... Are they just props to him?

-Women only do chores, like clean and assist, behind men's backs, or strip for male pleasure... This must be his perspective on women...

-I can see how he views women...

-I didn’t even know Kyungri was in the movie. Wow.

-With no lines? For just a few seconds? What was the point?

-I guess people weren't as aware ten years ago.... How could they just accept this? This is pure garbage.

Kim Soohyun's side responds to allegations of forcing the late Sulli to film nude scenes: "Currently checking"

 

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/408/0000259816

Kim Soohyun's agency, Gold Medalist, has stated that they are 'currently checking' the allegations of forcing the late Sulli to film bed scenes and nude scenes, which have recently surfaced.

On the 28th, Gold Medalist told iMBC Entertainment, "We are in the process of confirming the situation."

Earlier that day, Sulli's older brother, identified as A, spoke to Sports Kyunghyang, stating, "For the past six years, I have lived in deep sorrow and tears," and requested Kim Soohyun's side to clarify three key points.

According to the statement, A demanded explanations from Kim Soohyun on three points regarding the filming of the movie 'Real' (2017), which included his younger sister's nude scenes: Why was a bed scene, which was not in the original script, suddenly added during the filming? Why was a body double not used despite being available? Why did they lie about the body double being unable to come to the filming set due to illness?

A further stated, "I heard many things at Sulli’s funeral, but I am only asking these three questions based on facts. I hope for a clear and active response."

Meanwhile, 'Real' follows the story of Jang Taeyoung (played by Kim Soohyun), the boss of a criminal organization preparing to open a casino called 'Siesta,' who encounters a mysterious investor identical to him in both name and appearance. The film was directed by Lee Sarang (also known as Lee Rove), Kim Soohyun’s cousin and co-founder of Gold Medalist. Upon its release, 'Real' was criticized for its lackluster execution and unnecessary nude scenes.

theqoo

-What exactly are they 'checking'?ㅋㅋㅋ

-That basically means 'We're currently making up excuses.'

-Why do they keep saying they're 'currently checking'?ㅋㅋㅋ

-That movie is from years ago, and they're still 'checking'?

-Are they 'checking' if there's any evidence?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah... They're just dodging responsibility. All it takes is just one single apology... It's quite impressive how they're dragging things to such a mess.

-Are they 'checking' if they can silence Sulli's brother with money?

-Are they 'checking' with their lawyers??

-What have they been doing for days? Why are they so quiet??

-I'm so f*cking disgusted.

-It must be real then... Judging by how they can't answer it right away.

-If it wasn't true, they would've denied it immediately. This must be real.

-Just apologize already. This is so frustrating.

-Do they have some kind of disease that kills them right away if they apologize? What's wrong with them?

-You were the producer, the director, and also the lead actor of the movie... What exactly do you need to 'check'?

'Allegations of dating an underage' Kim Soohyun, scheduled for Taiwan fan meeting on the 30th

 

https://www.insight.co.kr/news/495860

The YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute continues to release allegations regarding actor Kim Soohyun’s alleged relationship with the late Kim Saeron when she was a minor.

As the controversy intensifies, several brands, including Tous Les Jours, Homeplus, Eider, Shabu All Day, and Dinto, have begun removing advertisements featuring Kim Soohyun. Overseas, public outrage is growing, with some referring to his promotional standees as 'trash' and discarding them.

Amidst this, Kim Soohyun's fan meeting scheduled in Taiwan appears to proceed as planned.

According to the 2025 Kaohsiung Cherry Blossom Festival website, the event will be held from March 28 to 30 (local time). Kim Soohyun is set to meet fans on March 30 from 9:20 PM to 10:00 PM.

Even after allegations related to Kim Soohyun surfaced, the event organizer has not released any notice regarding his attendance, and ticket sales remain open.

Currently, Super Rock seats (VIP section) and general admission, as well as couple seats, are sold out. Only a small number of tickets remain for the section located between the VIP and general seats, and tickets for the elderly.

As a result, there are speculations that Kim Soohyun will attend the Taiwan festival as planned and meet with overseas fans.

theqoo

-Isn't he going to get stoned there?

-So freaking shameless.

-Who's even going to go to that event?

-Kim Soohyun is really something, he's definitely a psychopath.

-The international reaction is even worse. He should go to experience it firsthand.

-Absolutely disgusting.

-I sincerely hope he can't return back home from Taiwan.

-I heard overseas fans hate him even more? Really? It's amazing that he's pushing through with this.

-I hope everyone turns their backs on him when he comes out.

-So embarrassing.

-I hope he gets thrown with eggs and flour.

-F*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I wonder if the Taiwanese fans will throw eggs at him.

-He's currently emotionally unstable, but he's still doing the fan meeting?ㅋㅋ

-Overseas fans are even less tolerant about this matter...

https://naver.me/F5DnRps8

Amid ongoing criticism against Kim Soohyun over allegations of dating the late Kim Saeron when she was a minor, some fans are showing positive reactions. There are even fans who are praising his attitude and tone in recently surfaced videos and photos with the late Kim Saeron, calling him 'kind and caring.'

On the 19th, numerous posts praising Kim Soohyun emerged on social media platforms like X. Regarding the footage that Garo Sero Research Institute recently on YouTube, they collectively stated, "Are they actually promoting how sweet Kim Soohyun actually is?"

One fan wrote, "Kim Sooman is so sweet, it's frustrating. He just became the #1 husband material. He pats her back when she hiccups and does the dishes... It's annoying, but he's so sweet." Comments followed, such as, "I'm falling for him all over again," "I can't watch because I'll get jealous", "Kim Dajeong (Kim Soohyun + Caring)", and more.

Another fan added, "Is Garo Sero Research Institute trying to make us jealous? A boyfriend who pats his girlfriend's back to stop her hiccups. He even speaks formally to her," and "He's as sweet as a drama male lead in real life."

Other reactions included, "Thanks to Garo Sero Research Institute, he's now the #1 husband material. A wealthy boyfriend who does the dishes and massages your back," "I'm so furious about the unauthorized photo leaks, and I hope he gets financial compensation for it, but I can't help but think our actor is just too sweet."

Previously, Kim Soohyun's fan cafe, Yukaris, has released a statement supporting Kim Soohyun despite the controversy over his private life. Through the statement they released on the 13th, they said, "Please stop the cyberbullying against Kim Soohyun and his fans. As a dedicated fan cafe, Yukaris will continue to stand by Kim Soohyun."

Kim Soohyun on the edge, Gold Medalist reportedly persuading former associates of the late Kim Saeron for press conference

 

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/609/0000965471

It has been reported that Kim Soohyun's side has met with former agency officials and acquaintances of the late Kim Saeron, attempting to persuade them to hold a press conference.

There are speculations that they may have secured evidence and materials suggesting that Kim Saeron's unfortunate death was not solely due to Gold Medalist's demand for repayment of 700 M KRW.

In this regard, a source from the entertainment industry stated on March 1, "Gold Medalist appears to have verified certain materials that can provide insights into Kim Saeron's schedule and emotional state several months before her passing. They have also met multiple individuals who could back this information and are currently trying to persuade one or two key figures to speak in an interview or press conference."

Given the strong influence of the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute, which has been vocal about the family's stance, it is difficult to counter each point or attempt to turn the situation in one move. However, with over 10 advertisements being cut and ongoing projects affected, Kim Soohyun's team appears to be trying to reverse the situation with materials that have been filtered. This is a crisis management strategy to alleviate their sense of injustice without provoking the late Kim Saeron and her family.

Kim Soohyun's side is reportedly tackling the crisis with 3 key strategies. A law firm handling legal matters is acting as the central control tower, while a management team monitors media and advertising. Additionally, an internal and external crisis management team has been mobilized. There are speculations that the crisis management team, which has been meeting with Kim Saeron's acquaintances and former agency officials to retrace her circumstances before her death, has secured significant testimonies and materials in the process. 

theqoo

-After all that happened? But still, the dead will never return.

-He's not even human. Just apologize and never set foot in the entertainment industry again.

-Does that change the fact that he dated a minor for 6 years? Disgusting.

-Please retire from the entertainment industry. I can't stand seeing your face.

-The public has already seen Kim Soohyun's true colors. What's the point of persuading her family?

-Is he even human?

-Pathetic.

-A press conference won't change anything. Saeron already stated everything in the statement she didn't release in 2024.

-He's worse than Satan.

-Use that time to apologize instead.

-Seriously... Is it really that hard to apologize even once?

-Kim Soohyun! Even if you're gone from South Korea, the world keeps turning just fine. Just disappear already.

-Is this because her family decided to conduct a digital forensic analysis?ㅋ

-He ignored her when she tried to reach out to him, but now that she's gone, he's looking for her associates??

-Now, after all this???

'He's not that kind of Oppa' ... Kim Saeron's family lawyer examines KakaoTalk messages, says that Kim Saeron seems to have believed Kim Soohyun until the end

 

Boo Jiseok: Yesterday, for the first time, the family discovered the 2nd legal notice while moving. When the 1st legal notice arrived, Kim Saeron insisted that Kim Soohyun would never have sent such a thing. She believed someone else had probably sent it to her. Wanting to confirm that, she sent a text to Kim Soohyun. However, Kim Soohyun, whom she trusted, did not respond. Instead, a 2nd legal notice arrived, stating that she should not contact him, not to reach out to other actors, and not to post any photos.

Kim Saeron, who always discussed things with her aunt and family, did not tell them about the 2nd legal notice. The fact that it was only discovered yesterday suggests that she didn't want Kim Soohyun to be seen in a bad light by her family. She kept believing in him, insisting 'He's not that kind of Oppa.'

Perhaps that's why she suffered alone and eventually made the wrong choice on Kim Soohyun's birthday. Regardless of the ongoing criticisms against Kim Saeron, I hope people take a moment to consider just how much she was struggling at that time.

theqoo

-She trusted him so much... What a horrible bastard.

-He's even worse than trash. Bring Saeron back, you f*cking bastard.

-She trusted him so muchㅠㅠㅠ This is so heartbreaking.

-She was too kind… ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

-She kept everything to herself until the end. She didn't even leave a willㅠㅠ Thanks to that, he was able to continue filming dramas and go to parties...

-ㅠㅠㅠ Even in that video... I can tell how much Saeron trusted and liked him. It's so heartbreaking.

-She was so kind and innocent. And this devil of a man recognized that and took advantage of her. Is eh even human? Just retire and disappear from the entertainment industry.

-My heart aches every time a new article comes out...ㅜ

-They were together for 6 years since she was a minor. He must've been her whole world. That's what makes him even more of a piece of trash.

-6 years out of a 24-year life... That's 1/4 of her life. Sigh.... What a crazy bastard.

-I just hope he realizes his own mistakes... At least say you're sorry, please..

-Apologize and retire. Stop trying to hold on.

-What makes me so angry is... Even in this situation, Kim Soohyun probably just thinks he was unlucky to get caught.

-This is betrayal on another level. He’s a demon.

-She was totally gaslit… This is heartbreaking in so many waysㅠㅠㅠ

The family of the late Kim Saeron has decided to have her smartphone undergo a digital forensic analysis.

Kim Saeron's family stated, "We only wanted an apology. We are disappointed," and revealed that they have decided to recover photos that can prove the two were in a relationship when she was a minor.

Furthermore, the YouTuber who has been continuously sharing related photos and the family's statements recently presented a video presumed to have been filmed by the two at Kim Saeron's home in the past.

-They gave him so many chances... He's the only one making things worse for himself.

-It's really amazing how he still hasn't apologized...

-Is it so hard for him to kneel and apologize? What's so great about him? People who don't know how to apologize are not human.

-Oh Gosh... I really don't want to see him anymore.. Just apologize and retire already!!

-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"

https://n.news.naver.com/article/015/0005107651?sid=102

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?

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

 

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.

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.

theqoo

-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.

theqoo

-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." 

theqoo

-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?
