Kim Soo-hyun's side reiterated its firm stance against Kim Se-se, CEO of the Gaseyeon Research Institute, and mentioned the possibility of filing an astronomical claim for damages.

On the 1st, on YTN's "Wise Radio Life," Kim Soo-hyun's legal representative, lawyer Go Sang-rok, appeared and discussed the detention of Kim Se-se, CEO of Gaseyeon Research Institute (Gaseyeon).

On that day, lawyer Go Sang-rok stated, "It is unusual that the arrest warrant application was made public. Law enforcement authorities determined that the KakaoTalk messages and recordings presented by Kim Se-se to claim a relationship during Kim Soo-hyun's minor years were manipulated or created using AI."

Regarding claims that the National Forensic Service concluded it was "inconclusive," he said, "They confidently predicted the arrest warrant would be denied while making such claims, but I understand that the substantive review of the warrant took about four hours. Since the court reviewed all records and issued the arrest warrant, the previous claims can be seen as baseless."

Lawyer Go explained, "After last year's press conference, lawyer Buji-seok stated the family's position, saying, 'It would have been better if Kim Soo-hyun had good feelings during his minor years and the relationship began after becoming an adult, but I don't understand why they went this far.' This is inconsistent. Suspicious of this, I looked into it and kept finding strange things."

He continued, "Later, during a press conference, recordings of Kim Sae-ron were made public. When the claims made at that time started to include absurd stories such as the whistleblower being attacked by a killer hired by Kim Soo-hyun in the U.S., or that Won Bin visited to offer comfort after the attack, my conviction grew stronger that these events were staged posthumously to match statements made without evidence or grounds."

In particular, last month, lawyer Go had indicated that he was considering expanding the scale of the 120 billion won damage claim lawsuit filed against Kim Se-ui (CEO) to 300 billion won.

He stated, "At that time, we filed the lawsuit based on potential breach of contract damages or estimated expected losses. Now, with considerable time having passed since then and actual damages occurring and being confirmed, we need to recalculate before proceeding with formal civil litigation."

He further emphasized, "The amount submitted to law enforcement authorities for the damage incurred is 300 billion won. Nothing has been decided yet, and it must be properly examined. As a defense attorney, I believe that while criminal punishment for such heinous cyber crimes is important, it is crucial to pursue civil damages with strict judgment. I think there must be a precedent where Kim Se-se is held strongly accountable for civil liability, not only to prevent him from repeating such acts after release but also to demonstrate the effect of making an example of him by dismantling his economic foundation entirely."

Lawyer Go explained, "If liability for a huge amount of damages is recognized, it will be difficult to cover it with personal assets. If the judgment amount cannot be fully paid, there is no choice but to live with massive debt for the rest of his life."
