The court, regarding actor Kim Soo-hyun’s request for the deletion of 45 videos related to himself posted on the YouTube channel Gaeroseoro Research Institute (hereinafter Ga Se-yeon), demanded that the targets and scope of the deletion be specified more concretely.

Civil Division 51 of the Seoul Central District Court held a hearing date for the application filed by Kim Soo-hyun against Ga Se-yeon CEO Kim Se-dae seeking the deletion and prohibition of posting YouTube videos.

On this day, Kim Soo-hyun’s side submitted an application requesting the deletion of 45 videos among those posted by Ga Se-yeon in September that contained content constituting defamation. On the other hand, CEO Kim Se-dae’s side countered that it had not been sufficiently demonstrated that the content included in the relevant videos was false, and argued that since they are contesting the facts of the prosecution in a criminal case, the request to delete the entire videos is excessively broad.

The court stated, “It appears that the videos for which Kim Soo-hyun’s side requested deletion contain not only content related to Kim Soo-hyun but also advertisements and other issues,” and pointed out, “There is a need to clearly organize specifically which parts are problematic.”

In particular, the court raised doubts as to whether it could be definitively concluded that the content of the relevant videos was clearly false solely on the basis of the fact that CEO Kim Se-dae had been indicted while in custody. It then added, “For the deletion of the entire videos to be justified, special circumstances must be recognized,” and conveyed, “Even for Kim Soo-hyun’s side’s claims to gain persuasiveness, there is a need to specify the targets and reasons for deletion.”
