It has been reported that Kim Se-se, the operator of the YouTube channel Garo-Sero Research Institute (Gase-yeon), who was arrested and prosecuted on charges of spreading false information and defamation against actor Kim Soo-hyun, has been placed in solitary confinement at Seoul Detention Center.

According to The Kyunghyang Shinmun on the 28th, Kim Se-se has been held in a solitary cell at Seoul Detention Center since early this month. Previously, on the 26th of last month, Seoul Central District Court issued an arrest warrant against Kim Se-se, who faces charges of defamation, stating, "There is a risk of evidence destruction and escape." At the time, Kim Se-se was detained at the Seoul Gangnam Police Station detention facility before being transferred to Seoul Detention Center in early this month.

Among these, Kim Se-se's side claims that they may face threats to their personal safety from the victims who filed criminal complaints against them. In this regard, the day after Kim Se-se was arrested, YouTuber Eun Hyeon-jung, known as 'God of Business,' made a statement during a live broadcast: "(Kim) Se-se, don't think you'll be comfortable in prison."

He continued, saying, "Please send a letter to the warden of the prison," and added, "I will deposit 2 million won each time, and if the warden works hard, I will give 10 million won every month until Kim Se-se escapes," implying private retaliation. Eun Hyeon-jung has filed a criminal complaint against Kim Se-se for defamation and other charges, accusing her of spreading false rumors about a "stock price manipulation theory" targeting him.

A correctional authority official told the media, "We cannot disclose the background for placing Kim Se-se in solitary confinement at the detention center," but added, "Generally, solitary confinement is not assigned solely based on an inmate's request; the necessity is evaluated internally."

Meanwhile, Kim Se-se also failed to appear at the first court hearing on the 25th regarding the stalking and coercion charges against YouTuber Jjuyang (real name Park Jeong-won), citing threats of terrorism.

The first court hearing for the case involving the defamation of Kim Soo-hyun is scheduled to take place on July 24.
