Actor Kim Soo-hyun appeared at the trial of Representative Kim Se-ye, avoiding the eyes of the press.

At 2 p.m. on the 11th, Criminal Division 26 (Presiding Judge Lee Hyun-gyeong) of the Seoul Central District Court held a hearing in the case against Representative Kim Se-ye, who was indicted while in custody on charges including violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation).

On this day, Kim Soo-hyun arrived at the courthouse privately around 1:40 p.m. to be questioned as a witness.

Numerous reporters were waiting on site to capture sight of Kim Soo-hyun. However, Kim Soo-hyun headed to the courtroom via a separate route rather than the main entrance.

Meanwhile, Representative Kim Se-ye has continuously made claims since March last year, through YouTube broadcasts and other channels, that Kim Soo-hyun dated the late Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor, and that he bears responsibility for her death. He also held a press conference on behalf of the bereaved family, disclosing 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 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. Representative Kim Se-ye was detained in May last year 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 posting YouTube videos by Kim Se-ye.
