Kim Soo-hyun's side has issued a direct statement regarding the arrest warrant decision for Kim Se-ui, CEO of the horizontal and vertical research institute (Gaseyeon).

Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, released an official statement on the 27th, stating, "Regarding the various criminal complaints and reports filed against Kim Se-ui of the Horizontal and Vertical Research Institute, the investigation results confirmed that the various allegations and evidence raised by the Horizontal and Vertical Research Institute against Kim Soo-hyun are not true." It further stated, "In particular, it was revealed that the deceased's KakaoTalk conversations released through the press conference were forged and altered conversations with third parties unrelated to Kim Soo-hyun, and the deceased's voice was also confirmed to be fabricated data generated using AI technology."

It continued, "Accordingly, given the charges of violating the Act on the Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation by dissemination of false facts), violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes, violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, etc. (distribution of filmed materials using cameras, etc., and coercion to use filmed materials), and threats, and recognizing the seriousness of the matter, the court issued an arrest warrant for Kim Se-ui." It added, "We deeply appreciate the efforts of law enforcement authorities who revealed the truth based on objective evidence."

Previously, Judge Buhng-sik of the Warrant Division of Seoul Central District Court opened a substantive review of the arrest warrant (pre-trial investigation) for Kim Se-ui, who was indicted on charges of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, etc. (filming and distribution using cameras, etc.), defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act, threats, and attempted coercion on the 26th, stating, "There is a risk of evidence destruction and escape," and issued an arrest warrant.

Kim Se-ui appeared for the arrest warrant substantive review on this day, claiming, "The arrest warrant is clearly false," and argued, "The National Forensic Service said it was impossible to determine whether the transcript was fabricated by generative AI, so are you denying that?" However, she could not avoid arrest. Even after concluding the arrest warrant substantive review, Kim Se-ui stated, "I do not admit any of the charges."

Accordingly, given the charges of violating the Act on the Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation by dissemination of false facts), violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes, violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, etc. (distribution of filmed materials using cameras, etc., and coercion to use filmed materials), and threats, and recognizing the seriousness of the matter, the court issued an arrest warrant for Kim Se-ui.

Kim Soo-hyun promised at a press conference one year ago, "I will not ask you to believe me. I will prove it."

Kim Soo-hyun's past year was time solely dedicated to keeping that promise. Finally, through the procedures prescribed by law and thorough investigation, the truth has been proven.

We deeply thank everyone who believed in and waited for Kim Soo-hyun during this time.
