The Horizontal and Vertical Research Institute Kim Se-ui (CEO) filed a request for a review of detention with the court, but it was not accepted.

On the 2nd, the 8th Criminal Appeals Division of Seoul Central District Court conducted a review of detention for Kim Se-se and subsequently dismissed the request. The court ruled that "there is no reason for the request."

Previously, Kim Se-se filed a request for a review of detention on the 31st of last month, five days after being detained, asking the court to determine the legality of her detention. This is a procedure in which the court re-examines the legality and necessity of the detention investigation.

Kim Se-se appeared in court with her hands bound by ropes after about an hour of review on that day, claiming that her detention led to defamation of the late Kim Sae-ron.

However, as Kim Se-se's detention status remains in effect, the police, who have been investigating the case for over a year, are expected to conclude their investigation into the circumstances of Kim Se-se pressuring Kim Soo-hyun's side and transfer the case to the Prosecution Service shortly.

Kim Se-se faces charges of spreading content on YouTube and other platforms claiming that Kim Soo-hyun dated Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor and that the cause of Kim Sae-ron's death was due to debt repayment pressure from Kim Soo-hyun's side.
