The first court hearing for the YouTube channel 'Garo-Sero Research Institute' Kim Se-ui (CEO), which faces charges including defamation related to actor Kim Soo-hyun, is set to take place.
On the 14th, Seoul Central District Court Judge Kim Yu-rang (Director) will conduct the first trial of Kim Se-de, who faces charges under the Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (filming and distribution using cameras, etc.) and defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act.
Kim Se-de is accused of spreading false information through YouTube broadcasts and press conferences from March to May last year, claiming that the late Kim Sae-ron dated actor Kim Soo-hyun for about six years starting at age 15 when she was a minor, and that her death was caused by financial pressure from Kim Soo-hyun's debt repayment demands.
She is also accused of fabricating false information using generative artificial intelligence (AI) to manipulate Kim Sae-ron's voice, thereby damaging Kim Soo-hyun's reputation.
It has been determined that Kim Se-de earned over 100 million won in revenue solely from YouTube donations through content related to Kim Soo-hyun.
Kim Se-de was detained on May 26 last year due to the incident involving Kim Soo-hyun. On June 1, she filed a petition for review of detention legality, requesting the court to re-evaluate the lawfulness of her detention; however, the court rejected it, stating there were no grounds for the request.
Following this, police transferred Kim Se-de to the Prosecution Service while she remained in custody. The Prosecution Service formally indicted Kim Se-de on June 23.
