As the court date for Kim Se-ye, CEO of Garoseoro Research Institute, proceeds, it has been reported that actor Kim Soo-hyun will appear as a witness.

The 26th Criminal Division (Presiding Judge Lee Hyun-gyeong) of the Seoul Central District Court will hold the trial session at 2 p.m. on the 11th for CEO Kim, who was indicted in custody on charges including violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation).

It is known that witness examination of Kim Soo-hyun, the victim, will be conducted today. Given that the charges include a violation of the Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence, the witness examination is expected to be held in non-public session.

In this regard, Kim Soo-hyun's lawyer previously conveyed a cautious stance to StarNews on the 6th, stating that his appearance as a witness was "a part that is difficult to confirm."

Meanwhile, CEO Kim Se-ye has continuously raised claims since March of last year through YouTube broadcasts and other media, 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 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 content of the KakaoTalk conversations between Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron was also manipulated. CEO Kim Se-ye was placed in custody last May on charges of disseminating false facts about Kim Soo-hyun.

Kim Soo-hyun has also filed an application for an injunction to delete and prohibit the posting of YouTube videos against Kim Se-ye.
