'Investigative Planning Straight' (hereinafter 'Straight') has revealed the full details of the case involving actor Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron.
In the the 14th broadcast of MBC's current affairs and documentary program 'Straight' (Episode 344), the misconduct of YouTuber Kim Se-ui, who operates the YouTube channel 'Garo-Sero Research Institute' (hereinafter 'Gase-yeon'), was covered. Kim Se-ui was recently arrested on charges including spreading false information that the adult Kim Soo-hyun had a relationship with the minor Kim Sae-ron, thereby damaging Kim Soo-hyun's reputation.
Kim Se-ui had even released an audio recording, claiming it was obtained from an anonymous whistleblower. The recording allegedly contained content stating that Kim Sae-ron dated the adult Kim Soo-hyun during her minor years.
However, police announced investigation results stating that the recording was fabricated using AI (artificial intelligence). It was confirmed that all of the KakaoTalk messages between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron exposed by Kim Se-ui were also fabricated.
Furthermore, according to the 'Straight' report, this whistleblower approached Kim Soo-hyun's agency about a month before the 'Gase-yeon' exposé press conference.
The production team conveyed the shocking fact that "the whistleblower approached Kim Soo-hyun's agency, offering to provide a recording supporting the fact that they dated after Kim Sae-ron became an adult, while demanding money."
According to reports, on April 5 last year, this whistleblower made the following demands to Kim Soo-hyun's side: "We players don't need to see each other's faces. I just need to provide the materials, and once I get paid, it's over. And I have one more condition. I sell a certain product. If Kim Soo-hyun becomes successful overseas in the future, let me get one free company advertisement from you." While Kim Se-ui sent an audio file to 'Gase-yeon' claiming Kim Sae-ron dated Kim Soo-hyun during her minor years, she handed over an audio file to Kim Soo-hyun's side denying that relationship during her minor years.
