BIGBANG member G-Dragon clicked 'Like' on an official statement from actor Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, regarding false claims about his underage relationship, but later removed the 'Like'.

On the 28th, a screenshot circulated on the online community ONLINE showing that G-Dragon had clicked 'Like' on Gold Medalist's official statement, which read, "Thank you for believing in and waiting for Kim Soo-hyun."

The main content of the official statement released by Gold Medalist on the 27th was that "the allegations and evidence from Kim Se-woo of the Horizontal and Vertical Research Institute, claiming that Kim Soo-hyun had a relationship with actress the late Kim Sae-ron since she was a minor, were not true."

Kim Soo-hyun held a press conference last March, denying that he dated Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor, and expressed his injustice through tears. A year later, Kim Soo-hyun was cleared of the false accusations.

G-Dragon, who shares the same birth year of 1988 with Kim Soo-hyun, has been seen growing closer to the actor recently. Kim Soo-hyun attended G-Dragon's regular album 'We Were Here' listening party in February 2025, and in March of that year, they appeared together on MBC's 'Good Day' featuring G-Dragon.

After G-Dragon left a 'Like' on a post related to Kim Soo-hyun, netizens reacted with comments such as "loyal" or "reckless," sparking debate. It appeared G-Dragon was aware of this and subsequently removed the 'Like' from the post.

Judge Bup-dong-sik, presiding judge of the warrant division at Seoul Central District Court, held a substantive review of the arrest warrant (pre-trial interrogation of the suspect) for Kim Se-woo, who was indicted on charges including violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (recording and distribution using cameras, etc.), defamation, threats, and attempted coercion under the Information and Communications Network Act, on the 26th. The judge issued the arrest warrant, stating, "There is a risk of evidence destruction and escape."

Kim Se-woo faces charges of alleging that Kim Soo-hyun dated the late actress Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor, and that Kim Soo-hyun's side's debt repayment pressure was the direct cause of Kim Sae-ron's death, as well as spreading recordings and other materials. He is also accused of fabricating false facts by manipulating the late Kim Sae-ron's voice using AI to damage Kim Soo-hyun's reputation. Law enforcement authorities believe that the KakaoTalk conversation contents presented by Kim Se-woo at a press conference around last March, claiming Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron were in a relationship, were also fabricated.
