Korean News] (July 8, 2026 – Starsnews Exclusive)
After Kim Se-ui's Arrest, the Tide Has Turned... Court Advises Kim Soo-hyun's Advertiser: "Drop the ₩2.5 Billion Damages Claim."
⭐️ Key Points
▶️ After Kim Se-ui, the head of the YouTube channel HoverLab (Garo Sero Research Institute), was detained on charges of spreading false information about actor Kim Soo-hyun, the advertiser that had filed a damages lawsuit against Kim Soo-hyun amended its claim, significantly reducing the amount of compensation sought.
The court also advised the advertiser to withdraw the lawsuit and conclude the case with each party bearing its own legal costs.
▶️ On the same day, EIDER withdrew its original damages claim, which had been based on the allegation that Kim Soo-hyun had caused "public controversy." The company reduced its claim from approximately ₩2.5 billion to around ₩400 million, stating that it was now seeking only the return of the endorsement fee corresponding to the unfulfilled portion of the advertising contract.
▶️ The court further stated that EIDER, defendant Kim Soo-hyun, and his agency had all suffered harm as a result of the allegations made by Kim Se-ui. Considering that Kim Soo-hyun's side is currently in discussions with other advertisers as well, the court recommended that EIDER consider maintaining the endorsement contract, withdrawing the lawsuit, and resolving the dispute with each side paying its own legal expenses.

We hope advertisers realize that supporting the victim and standing by them, rather than causing further harm through secondary victimization, will ultimately reflect much more positively on their own image
There are moments when the strongest response is not to explain yourself endlessly, but simply to keep moving forward, with your head held high and your heart strong 💪✨ Years of work, discipline, and sacrifices don’t disappear just because accusations, gossip, or malice are thrown from behind a screen. What you have built with effort, talent, and perseverance remains solid, even when others try to destroy it🔥 True value is not decided by those who judge without using their minds, but by your work and everything you have achieved step by step 🚶♂️🌟 Head up. Keep going. Keep shining, not for those who spit words, but for those who saw from the beginning who you truly are 💫 Because true victory is not to respond to hate… but to continue moving forward with the same faith that brought you here ❤️🔥
Kim Se-ui, you relied on fear and intimidation, convinced that KSH would give in and rush to negotiate with you. Instead, he gave you more than enough time to stop. But you mistook patience for weakness and continued to escalate the situation, even ignoring court rulings as if the law did not apply to you.
But no one is untouchable. No matter how powerful or protected someone believes they are, sooner or later everyone is held accountable for their own actions. And those who fueled this campaign should understand that manipulating public opinion cannot replace the truth.
The fake aunt and the grieving family, I hope you suffer the same fate as him very soon!
To those who live off hatred, I wish only that you end up facing the consequences of your own actions. I hope the law begins to treat these reckless people with the same severity with which they pour their venom onto others. Maybe then they will understand that freedom of speech does not mean the freedom to spread hatred and that, before you write, you should think.
Truth does not need shouting, inventions, or insults. It stands on its own, verifiable through facts. Lies, no matter how aggressively they are pushed forward, remain nothing but cheap lies from cheap people, which collapse in the face of reality. Those who construct accusations, insults, and vulgarities reveal their true nature.
In time, only the clear difference remains between what can be proven and what has been invented.
