Kim Se-won, CEO of Gaseyeon (Gaseyeon Research Institute), who was detained on charges of spreading false information about actor Kim Soo-hyun, appeared for a detention review hearing.

According to NEWS1 on the 2nd, Kim (CEO), detained on charges including defamation, extortion, and attempted coercion, appeared at the detention review hearing held by the Criminal Appeal Division 8-1 of Seoul Central District Court (Presiding Judge Cha Seung-hwan, Judges Choi Hae-il and Choi Jin-sook) starting at 2:10 p.m. today.

A detention review is a procedure in which the court is asked to re-examine whether the detention of a detained suspect is lawful and whether continued detention is necessary. It is reported that Kim (CEO), with hands bound by a rope, entered the courtroom without saying anything.

Kim (CEO) faces charges of repeatedly spreading false claims via YouTube broadcasts and other platforms last year, alleging that Kim Soo-hyun dated the late actor 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, along with distributing audio recordings and other materials.

He is also facing charges of fabricating false information by manipulating the late Kim Sae-ron's voice using generative artificial intelligence (AI) to damage Kim Soo-hyun's reputation.

Previously, on the 26th of last month, Kim (CEO) appeared in court for a substantive review of the arrest warrant and denied all allegations. At the time, he claimed, "(The warrant) is nonsense without even a basic summary of the facts." However, the court issued the arrest warrant against Kim (CEO), citing concerns of evidence destruction and flight.
