Actor Kim Soo-hyun is shedding false accusations surrounding him and proving his legal innocence. Previously, while Garo Serorim Research Institute’s Kim Se-ui (CEO), who had raised the claim that Kim Soo-hyun dated the late Kim Sae-ron during her minor years, was detained and indicted on charges of spreading false information, it has been learned that the late Kim Sae-ron’s mother, a family member who made the same claims, has been referred to the Prosecution Service on similar charges.

Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, announced news of the late Kim Sae-ron’s mother being referred to the Prosecution Service on the 26th. The agency stated, “Criminal liability was established for accomplices who participated in a series of crimes, including spreading false information, alongside Kim Se-dae. The accomplices referred this time include the deceased’s mother and an individual impersonating the deceased’s aunt,” revealing as much.

According to the notice of investigation results from the Seoul Gangnam Police Station released by the agency, charges were applied to A, the deceased’s mother, and B, who impersonated the deceased’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 C, the deceased’s father, was made.

The agency stated that separate police investigations were conducted for accomplices who were not originally included in the complaint targets, and reported that D, the family-side lawyer who led two press conferences using false and manipulated materials (KakaoTalk tampering/forgery, AI voice manipulation) confirmed by law enforcement authorities, and E, a YouTube operator, were also referred to the Prosecution Service.

According to police investigation results, it was reported that D was transferred 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 E was transferred on charges of violating the Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (distribution of recordings made using cameras, etc.).

The agency stated, “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 crime and the participants.”

The controversy over dating a minor, which had dragged Kim Soo-hyun down to rock bottom, has been confirmed as untrue through the successive referrals of accomplices to the Prosecution Service. Accordingly, Kim Soo-hyun has fully shed the false accusations and made his comeback.

Not only Garo Serorim Research Institute’s Kim Se-ui (CEO), who raised suspicions about Kim Soo-hyun, but also family members including the mother and aunt, as well as a lawyer, have been referred to the Prosecution Service, adding further shock to the case.

Previously, Kim Se-ui (CEO) had continuously made claims through YouTube broadcasts and other channels since March last year that Kim Soo-hyun dated the late Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor and bore responsibility for her death. Additionally, acting on behalf of the family side, they held press conferences and released materials claimed to be audio recordings of the late Kim Sae-ron’s voice and KakaoTalk conversations with Kim Soo-hyun. Investigative authorities determined that the audio recording file released by Kim Se-dae was a manipulated file generated by generative artificial intelligence (AI), and that the content of the KakaoTalk conversations between Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron was also manipulated. Kim Se-ui (CEO) was detained in May last year on charges of spreading false information about Kim Soo-hyun and is currently incarcerated.
