Writer So Jae-won announced that Kim Se-woo, CEO of the YouTube channel Garo-Sero Research Institute (Gase-yeon), was referred to the Prosecution Service on charges of defamation against him.

On the 15th, So Jae-won posted on his Instagram, "If you were an ordinary person, you would not believe what Gase-yeon's Kim Se-woo says," adding, "Falsehoods have been packaged as truth, and truth has been engraved in people's minds as lies and conspiracies."

He continued, "It has been one year and four months since Kim Se-woo was referred to the Prosecution Service. During this time, I felt as if I had become the protagonist in my work 'Tunnel.' My children and I were pushed to the brink by faceless murderers." He also expressed, "People, simply because I have custody and parental rights, have arrogantly claimed as fact that the mother of my children must be the spouse at fault in the divorce."

Previously, he stated, "The decision to refer Kim Se-woo, whom I sued, has been made. There was not a single case of non-referral; the decision was to refer everything." He emphasized, "I filed lawsuits for 'defamation by stating false facts' in all cases. Not a single case was exempt; all were recognized as false facts, and it was determined that Kim Se-woo himself was aware of the falsehoods, which is why he was referred."

So Jae-won said, "The infuriating fact is that Kim Se-woo broadcasted this while fully knowing it was false. Our family was shattered by Kim Se-woo and those who follow him." He added, "I understand that actor Kim Soo-hyun is currently pursuing a damages lawsuit worth hundreds of billions of won. While it may not be as much as actor Kim Soo-hyun, I believe a claim for approximately 1 billion won in damages is certainly possible. Of course, it won't be easy for the full amount to be recognized, but I want to let the world know that those who spread fake news will never be able to rise again."

He further pledged, "I will never defile the precious pen you gifted me. Because you loved my work, I will keep in my heart every day that we were able to protect our children. For my beloved family, I will constantly reflect on the past days when I faced death, and I swear before many that I will fight Kim Se-woo and those who followed him until the end. I will definitely show you that truth is an unshakable truth."

Kim Se-woo claimed last February that So Jae-won was involved in the entertainment industry. In response, So Jae-won refuted this, stating, "It has already been reported through various media that I went undercover at a host bar for the purpose of writing." So Jae-won is a novelist who wrote films such as 'Beastie Boys,' 'Wish,' and 'Tunnel.'

Kim Se-woo was recently arrested and referred to the Prosecution Service on charges including violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (filming and distribution using cameras, etc.) and defamation.
