Reports emerged that actor Kim Soo-hyun will appear as a witness in the defamation trial against Kim Se-ye, president of Garo Seroresearch Institute.
On the 6th, CBSNocut News reported that Kim Soo-hyun is scheduled to testify at the public hearing for charges including violation of the Information and Communications Network Act (defamation) against President Kim, which will be held at 2 p.m. on the 11th before Criminal Division 26 of the Seoul Central District Court (Presiding Judge Lee Hyun-kyung). According to the report, the witness examination is expected to be conducted in closed session.
In this regard, Kim Soo-hyun's lawyer conveyed a cautious stance to StarNews, stating it was "difficult to confirm."
Meanwhile, President Kim Se-ye has continuously made claims through YouTube broadcasts and other channels since March of last year, alleging that Kim Soo-hyun dated the late Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor, and that he bears responsibility for her death. Additionally, holding a press conference on behalf of the bereaved family, he released what he claimed were audio recordings of the late Kim Sae-ron's voice and materials purported 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 using generative artificial intelligence (AI), and that the contents of the KakaoTalk conversations between Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron were also fabricated. President Kim Se-ye was detained in May on charges of spreading false information about Kim Soo-hyun.
Kim Soo-hyun has also filed an application for a preliminary injunction seeking the deletion and prohibition of further posting of YouTube videos by Kim Se-ye.
