Amid the arrest and indictment of Garo Seroresearch Institute Kim Se-ui (CEO) on charges of disseminating false facts over claims that actor Kim Soo-hyun dated the late Kim Sae-ron during her minor years, the late Kim Sae-ron's mother was referred to the Prosecution Service on the 20th on similar charges.

Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, stated on the 26th, "Criminal liability has been established for accomplices who participated in a series of crimes, including the dissemination of false facts, alongside Kim Se-ye. The accomplices referred this time include the late Kim Sae-ron's mother and an individual impersonating the late Kim Sae-ron's aunt."

According to the notice of investigation results from the Seoul Gangnam Police Station released by the agency, charges were applied against the late Kim Sae-ron's mother, Ms. A, and Ms. B, who impersonated the late Kim Sae-ron's aunt, for violations of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation through dissemination of false facts), violations of the Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (distribution of recordings made using cameras, etc.), and attempted coercion. A decision not to refer was made regarding the late Kim Sae-ron's father, Mr. B.

The agency also stated, "Separate police investigations were conducted for accomplices who were not initially included in the complaint." It explained, "Attorney Bu Ji-seok, a lawyer for the bereaved family who led two press conferences using false and manipulated materials (KakaoTalk tampering/forgery, AI voice manipulation) confirmed by law enforcement authorities, and Kwon Young-chan, operator of the YouTube channel 'Kwon Young-chan TV,' were each found to have criminal liability and referred to the Prosecution Service."

Attorney Bu Ji-seok was referred to the Prosecution Service on charges of defamation under the Criminal Act and violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation through dissemination of false facts), while Kwon Young-chan was referred on charges of violating the Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (distribution of recordings made using cameras, etc.).

The agency conveyed, "We deeply appreciate the efforts of law enforcement authorities for meticulously verifying the facts based on extensive materials and objective evidence, and revealing the substance of the crimes and the participants."

Meanwhile, Kim Se-ui (CEO) has continuously raised claims since March last year through YouTube broadcasts and other media that Kim Soo-hyun dated the late Kim Sae-ron while she was a minor, and that he bears responsibility for her death. Additionally, holding press conferences on behalf of the bereaved family, they released an audio recording of the late Kim Sae-ron's voice and materials claimed to be KakaoTalk conversations with Kim Soo-hyun.

However, investigative authorities determined that the audio recording file released by Kim Se-ye was a manipulated file generated by generative artificial intelligence (AI), and that the contents of the KakaoTalk conversations between Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron were also manipulated. Kim Se-ui (CEO) was arrested in May last month on charges of disseminating false facts about Kim Soo-hyun.
