My Way

These are facts, not unverified/unverifiable words, unverified pictures, unverified audios, unverified letters and other nonsense. THESE ARE INDISPUTABLE FACTS!!

There is no publicly verified evidence proving that Kim Soo Hyun groomed Kim Sae Ron. Here's a breakdown of what we know so far:

Allegations:
A YouTube channel (Garosero/Hoverlab) and Kim Sae Ron’s family alleged a romantic relationship beginning when she was 15 (2015), framing it as grooming .

They released purported KakaoTalk messages and photos to support this claim .


Denials and Pushback:
In March 31, 2025 at a press conference, Kim Soo Hyun strongly denied dating her as a minor. He admitted to a relationship starting in 2019, when she was 19, and denied all grooming claims .

His agency, Gold Medalist, called the allegations “completely false”, describing the released evidence (chats, photos) as manipulated or taken out of context .
A professional analysis of the chat logs concluded that the 2016 and 2018 KakaoTalk conversations were from different individuals, undermining the accusation that a single conversation spanned that long .
They also explained that communications concerning a ₩700M debt were procedural, offering an extended payment deadline—not pressure .

Legal Actions & Lack of Independent Verification:
Kim Soo Hyun has filed defamation and privacy lawsuits (totaling about ₩12 billion) against both Garosero and Kim Sae Ron’s family, asserting the accusations are fabricated .
The Seoul court even froze some funds of the YouTube channel as part of the defamation suit—not as validation of the grooming claim .
No independent body (police, prosecutors, courts on sexual crimes) has released evidence affirming grooming took place.

Public Reaction:
Public sentiment has begun shifting in favor of Kim Soo Hyun amid the persistent lack of compelling evidence .
Investigative journalists and legal experts continue to point out that the core evidence remains unverified or discredited.

Summary:

Claim: Relationship before she turned 18
Supported? : Unverified – Alleged by family and YouTubers - denied by Soo Hyun and agency.
Claim: Grooming behavior.
Supported?: No verified proof. Key documents (chats, photos) dismissed as manipulated or inconclusive.
Claim: Official legal findings (guilty/not guilty)
Supported?: None publicly released.


To date, all concrete evidence presented has been challenged: from textual discrepancies to chat analysis. Soo Hyun and his agency maintain the relationship began only after she reached legal age, and they’ve pursued defamation charges accordingly. No independent confirmation (legal or journalistic) supports the grooming allegations.

❤️ I love this courage. It was known from the beginning that it wouldn't be easy, but, after all, what easy option would there have been? Just take his own life, to satisfy those thirsty?
I'm happy that Kim Soo Hyun has the courage to face these dragons, who have killed countless artists.

Wow, what a beautiful timeline you made...👏🏽
In light of the logic you presented, anyone reading can realize how absurdly these people acted, trying to extract money from a man who owed nothing to anyone: no justification, no money, no apologies. Absolutely NOTHING!!

I'm glad to read such positive things. Thank you for sharing them with us!

Silent NO MORE! Kim Soo Hyun strikes back with TRUTH AND LAW!

Kim Soo Hyun strikes again with a shocking counterattack: files an additional criminal complaint for false accusation against Kim Se Ui and the late Kim Sae Ron’s family.
- Let me see how you handle the situation you've gotten yourself into, thinking you're going to ruin a man who's worked his whole life and on whose back you want to climb like monkeys. 😏 No, no, no!! it will NOT be easy at all to get out of the mess you have shamelessly created.
⠀
False accusation is a serious crime where one intentionally reports false facts to investigative authorities to subject someone to criminal or disciplinary punishment. It is classified as a felony and is punishable by up to 10 years of imprisonment or a fine of up to 15 million KRW.
- I hope you've taken on some extra jobs. You'll have plenty of years to pay for all the mess you've created.

The standard sentencing range is 6 months to 2 years in prison, and if the false accusation involves crimes under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes, the sentence increases to a minimum of 3 years of imprisonment.
- Good luck to you, Garosick, and to you, naughty family!!

He who laughs last laughs best!

A confession or voluntary surrender may result in reduced or waived sentencing...
- I'm very curious what will come out of this. The most predictable scenario is that Garosick will blame the deceased's family.
⠀
Kim Soo Hyun, FIGHTING!
Worthy fighters, FIGHTING!!

K-drama star Kim Soo Hyun’s agency files new defamation lawsuit against Kim Sae Ron’s family.

The 37-year-old actor has been accused of dating the late actress when she was a minor.


K-drama star Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has filed an additional defamation lawsuit against Kim Sae Ron’s family and South Korean YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute for allegedly spreading “absurd and baseless lies” about the actor amid the underage dating controversy involving the late actress.
According to reports by Korea-based media outlets Koreaboo and IMBC Entertainment, Soo Hyun’s agency pressed charges against Sae Ron’s family and YouTube channel, citing a statement by Kim Se-ui of Garosero during a press conference held on May 7.

During the press conference, Se-ui played an audio that he claimed was a voice recording of Sae Ron. In the audio, the actress confessed about her romantic relationship with Soo Hyun, which allegedly began while she was still in middle school.
The YouTuber also stated that Soo Hyun offered 4 billion KRW to the Bloodhound actress, asking her not to leak the audio and later resorted to assault after the offer was allegedly refused.
However, the agency and lawyers of Queen of Tears’ actor denied the allegation made by the YouTuber by claiming that the audio was an AI-generated voice recording. The agency, which filed a complaint based on forged evidence, said that Garosero and Sae Ron’s family went ahead and spread ‘false information'.

They further claimed that the parties breached legal and ethical standards by presenting manipulated/forged evidence, including the AI-generated audio file, at a press conference.
Earlier in April, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency filed the first lawsuit against the actress’s family and Garosero Research Institute, accusing them of defamation under the Sexual Crimes Special Act, seeking approximately 12 million KRW for damage charges.
Earlier in May, Kim Sae Ron’s family accused Kim Soo Hyun of indulging in sexual acts with the former when she was 14, an allegation that Soo Hyun’s agency denied later.
Kim Sae Ron’s family accused the 37-year-old actor of dating her when she was a minor. The actor dismissed the allegations in his first official statement regarding the controversy at a press conference last month.


Kim Sae Ron, who gained popularity as a child actor, passed away on February 16, which coincidentally is Soo Hyun’s birthday. According to police reports, the 24-year-old star died by suicide at her residence.
Soo Hyun, who made his acting debut in 2007 with a supporting role in the TV series Kimchi Cheese Smile, tasted fame with popular shows It’s Okay Not To Be Okay, My Love From Star and Queen of Tears.

@RuxiTS Lovely!👍🏼

And she also received a lot of "help" from "fans" who are now shouting "justice for KSR".

Exactly as you said...

These are verses of encouragement. If you don't know what that means, do some research.

I think you don't have the right glasses.

A lot of noise, to show NOTHING!
The family wanted to get money (with the worst possible strategy), Garosero wanted a distraction from what was important at that moment in South Korea, and the public wanted another victim.
But the fact that there are so many people supporting Kim Soo Hyun says a lot.
First of all, he is the first Korean artist to receive this incredible support from all over the world.

Secondly, there are numerous actions that have been put into motion to both support him and combat this Korean ki*ling machine.

Thirdly, the very fact that this case has become known and publicized around the globe is an undeniable fact of how well-known and appreciated Kim Soo Hyun is. No other Korean artist has received this much media coverage when he was in a similar situation of defamation.

Fourth, Kim Soo Hyun had the courage to fight this Korean ki*ling machine.

Fifth, by buying the series "My Love From the Star" and broadcasting it, fans have demonstrated that they don't just want a series, they want to send a message.
What is the message behind the series My Love from the Star? "Song-yi's career goes into a downturn when her talent agency and sponsors drop her in a backlash against her recent behavior, particularly rumors that she caused the suicide of her arch-rival, actress Han Yoo-ra." It's my guess that this is the reason why this series was chosen.

Things don't stop there, and fans show their love not only through these global actions, but by going to the GM company and offering encouragement to the artist caught in this Korean ki*ling machine, offering gifts, letters, both to Kim Soo Hyun and his mother.

All of this is not insignificant or minor!!

In a world where noise often drowns out integrity, the global response to Kim Soo Hyun’s dignified silence speaks volumes. It reveals a deep yearning for justice,not just for one man, but for the values that define our shared humanity. When 65 nations rise in unity, not for fame or gain, but to protect the dignity of a person wronged, it becomes more than support, it becomes a stand for what is right. This is the essence of human greatness: the courage to stand by the truth, and the refusal to let decency be silenced!

A global movement for Kim Soo Hyun has begun! A powerful message against irresponsible journalism and cyberbullying! 🌎

An event that happened in South Korea lit a spark that turned into a global movement.
The umpteenth media attack on South Korean actor Kim Soo Hyun, fueled by false and malicious news, has crossed the national borders and touched the consciences of millions of people around the world.
It wasn't just an attack on an artist: it was an attack on the truth and human dignity.
A powerful and spontaneous movement was born from this episode: 65 fandoms from the relative 65 countries have remained united since day one, bound by unshakeable determination and countless support actions.

The number of supporters has grown steadily, because this is not just a cause: it is a UNIVERSAL APPEAL to JUSTICE, driven by the strength and dignity of a person who, despite having been a victim, has become the symbol of a turning point for many.

The brave gesture of Kim Soo Hyun, who appeared in front of the press and (as he stated) refused to apologize for something he never did, SENT a RARE and POWERFUL message.
A message that has been echoed all over the world and that we want to transform into a universal appeal for respect, truth and life.
This message joins the commitment of the new President of South Korea, Lee Jae Myung, who has made the fight against predatory journalism a national priority.

To symbolize this global call for change, on July 8 in Milan, in Corso Matteotti, a large billboard will be built, not only as a TRIBUTE to an ACTOR, but as a SYMBOL of GLOBAL STANCE: an ODE to LIFE and SILENCE. Because in this act of silence, millions of voices come together to proclaim that respect and truth have no boundaries.

Thanks to the support of Urban Vision (www.urbanvision.com), the design photographer, musician of Acme and artist Mattia Romanut (www.mattiaromanut.com) and graphic designer Linda Gibin, this message will physically cross the streets of Milan - a sign of a commitment that starts from Korea and belongs to everyone.

KIM SOO HYUN is NOT ALONE!!❤️
65 countries and their fandoms have joined Italy to declare: enough of predatory journalism!

French author Émile Zola once wrote: “We are like books. Most people only see our cover, the minority read only the introduction, many people believe the critics. Few will know our content.”

In today’s media landscape, Zola’s words have never felt more relevant. We live in a digital age where scrolling culture dominates, where headlines are mistaken for facts.

Most people don’t read beyond the surface. They see a snapshot, a headline, or a tweet and assume they’ve grasped the whole story. A few might skim the first paragraph and the introduction but still walk away with only a sliver of understanding. And they ignore the deeper content, the full context, not even a nuanced position. This superficial engagement is especially dangerous in Media News coverage. In countries like South Korea, Taiwan, and China, media stories, particularly about public figures are often riddled with half truths. Key details are omitted, distorted, or sensationalized to destroy someone’s image. The goal is not to bring clarity. It’s manipulation.

Worst group, the majority that are perfectly content to let the most biased voices, the so-called “critics” do their thinking for them. They swallow whatever is fed to them by clickbait media, outrage-baiting influencers, or toxic comment sections. They don’t question/investigate, they just parrot. And once they’ve bought into that shallow narrative, they cling to it like gospel, no matter how flimsy or absurd it is. Truth becomes inconvenient.

But there’s a rare group who reads into the content and question everything. They analyze the details and dig deeper. These are the people who are still standing by Kim Soo Hyun, not out of blind loyalty, but because they’ve done the work. They’ve dissected the case, examined the facts, and saw past the noise and finally made their own conclusion. That’s informed support with critical thinking skills and trust.

It's a long message, but it's worth reading. It's shocking that there are people like this who would wipe out someone's name, reputation, dignity, integrity, and even humanity. I saw it so clearly through this case where they dragged Kim Soo Hyun. All the steps of media lynching were followed in his case as well. It's incredibly sad that people stoop so low.

Some are still on vacation.😏 But that's it for today on MDL.😉

Thank you for the elaborate work you have done! I find it terribly sad to be wrongly accused and not be able to defend yourself. Unfortunately, these things are still happening before our eyes. Taking away someone's right to be innocent until proven guilty and being dragged through the mud online and beyond....seems like a crime to me.

Wow, that's some research work.👏🏽
I don't know if I would have the strength to watch more than one film on this topic, based on real events, because I know that those people, in those cases, suffered terrible injustices... When I know it's just a movie, based on imagination, fantasy, and ideas inspired and gathered from reality, but doesn't represent a specific case, I watch the movie with a different vibe. But movies and series based on true events...overwhelm me.

Would you like to make a list under the review I did, with the movies and series on the same theme, please?
Honestly, I really think I missed a lot of interesting movies/series, because I don't often abandon series even when I don't like them...
