When South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun found himself embroiled in one of the most explosive celebrity scandals of 2025, it wasn’t just about tabloid rumors—it became a full-blown legal and media showdown. On October 30, 2025, a hearing before the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea took centre stage, where testimony exposed what one witness called a “nation-wide fraud” perpetuated by the Garosero Research Institute. What began with the tragic death of actress Kim Sae-ron has now evolved into a test case for how far misinformation and AI-fabricated evidence can go before institutions step in.
The National Assembly hearing on October 30 became a watershed moment. Eun Hyun-jang, a YouTuber and whistleblower, testified that Garosero fabricated the evidence it had presented to the public—including forged KakaoTalk messages, edited photos, and AI-generated voice recordings. According to Eun, these fabrications were part of an orchestrated smear campaign intended to destroy Kim Soo-hyun’s reputation and drive public outrage.
The revelation shook the chamber. Lawmakers expressed alarm not just at the potential criminality of Garosero’s actions but at how easily manipulated evidence had been accepted as truth in the digital sphere. Chairwoman Choi Min-hee vowed to pursue further inquiry, calling the incident “a serious wake-up call about the consequences of unchecked online influence.”
Why It Matters Globally? To North American readers, this story may sound like a uniquely Korean scandal, but its implications are far wider.
Digital Truth on Trial: The case serves as a warning about how easily deepfakes and AI-edited content can destroy reputations—and how existing legal systems struggle to keep up.
Global Hallyu Economy: Kim Soo-hyun is one of South Korea’s most internationally recognized stars. His brand power spans from Netflix dramas to luxury endorsements, making his reputation a matter of global commerce.
Legal Precedent for Creators: The case could influence how nations handle defamation and evidence tampering in the influencer economy, where creators and public figures are equally exposed to viral misinformation.
What Comes Next? The court hearing scheduled for November 2025 will determine whether Garosero’s fabricated evidence constitutes criminal fraud and defamation. A ruling in Kim Soo-hyun’s favor could lead to historic changes in South Korean media regulation and serve as a template for how governments can respond to AI-driven disinformation.
For Kim Soo-hyun, it remains a deeply personal fight—but one with global resonance. What began as a tragic story about loss and rumor has transformed into a test of truth in the age of artificial intelligence—one that will likely define how fame, justice, and digital accountability coexist in the modern era.
[1101] Attorney Ko Sangrok has released an official statement following the National Assembly audit concerning the Kim Seui case.
[Official Statement Following the National Assembly Audit on Cyber “Rekka” Issues]
At the National Assembly’s Broadcasting and Communications Committee audit on October 30, lawmakers from both ruling and opposition parties officially raised concerns about the ongoing delay in multiple investigations involving Kim Seui, alongside the broader problem of cyber “rekka” (malicious content creators who distort or exploit information for views and profit).
This marks an important moment, as it brings the issue of delayed investigations into serious, high-impact cybercrime cases into public discussion.
Coincidentally, on the very next day (October 31) and again today, actor Kim Soohyun’s Japanese fandom team published full-page advertisements in Chosun Ilbo, revealing the reality of the cyber “rekka” crimes he suffered in Korea and appealing for faith in the truth and support from the Korean public.
Recently, the official statements and opinions I released as Kim Soohyun’s legal representative have also been widely reported in Japan, India, Taiwan, Thailand, and now mainland China, drawing major attention.
This sequence of events clearly shows that this case has become an international cybercrime issue of global concern.
⸻
Actor Kim Soohyun enjoys exceptionally high recognition and a loyal fan base across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and South America.
Notably, My Love from the Star recorded a total of 14 billion views in China alone, sparking what was called the Kim Soohyun Syndrome.
Since then, through Netflix and broadcasting platforms worldwide, his name and face have become familiar to billions of viewers.
Based on such metrics, Kim Soohyun’s global name recognition is estimated to reach over one billion people, placing him among Asia’s top-tier global stars, on par with Hollywood figures like Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool).
⸻
Kim Seui’s large-scale deception, repeatedly spreading 100% false claims based on crudely fabricated evidence against actor Kim Soohyun, misled not only the Korean public but billions around the world.
This didn’t just damage Kim Soohyun’s reputation and character, it also tarnished the global image of Korea’s cultural industry and left deep emotional scars on countless people who care about and support Korea.
As a result, even now, enormous time and resources are being spent across various countries to restore the truth.
⸻
Observers abroad are watching the case closely. How Korean authorities handle this matter will heavily influence the international community’s perception of Korea’s rule of law, human rights awareness, and judicial integrity.
From the very beginning, many overseas observers quickly recognized that Gaseyeon’s allegations were fabricated, riddled with contradictions and falsehoods.
Despite this, Kim Seui held three public “press conferences” on March 10, April 17, and May 7 to push his deceitful claims.
Even after the victim publicly refuted them and raised specific allegations of evidence fabrication, eight months have passed since those broadcasts, yet there has been no search or seizure and no submission of the key KakaoTalk evidence.
Seeing this lack of accountability, overseas observers have increasingly called for structural reform within Korea’s judicial system.
⸻
Now, only one thing is needed:
A thorough investigation and strict punishment. That alone will uphold the integrity of justice and restore trust in Korea’s legal system.

November 1, 2025 Attorney Ko Sangrok Legal Representative for Actor Kim Soohyun
"Today I received a notice from Gangnam Police Station, saying that the case involving Kim Se-ui will be handled by the Special Investigation Task Force.
"Breaking shock news!" Do you know where I went yesterday? I went to the National Assembly audit session. Even I was startled when I watched my own video. I'm not sure if it was because of what I said during the audit yesterday, but just now, the Gangnam Police Station called me.
That's right - just now, I got a call from the Gangnam Police Station. They said they had watched the video of the audit.
Guys, I'm honestly speechless right now. After finishing my show, I went to eat, and on my way home - around 5 p.m. - out team leader and the investigator got a call from the Gangnam Police Station. I don'T know for sure if it's because of what I said at the audit yesterday, but it seems the police are finally going to take this case seriously. Today, we received official notice that the Kim Se-ui case will be handled by Gangnam Police Station's "Special Investigation Task Force."
Do you know what the "Special Investigation Task Force" is? If you compare it to the prosecution system, it's roughly equivalent to a special prosecutor-level team. No, not exactly a "special prosecutor" but a special investigative unit. Se-ui, you're really done for this time."
"I truly cherish actor Kim Soo-hyun. After meeting him and talking for a long time, I knew he was an extremely upright and honest person, and I was confident in the truth he spoke. After reviewing all the materials, I promised Kim Soo-hyun that I would personally rescue him completely, leaving nothing behind. I must keep my promise to him.
And over the past month, I've been deeply moved by the fans' trust and support for Kim Soo-hyun, and seeing how healthy and positive the relationship between a star and his fans can be. I, too, have become a fan, eager to see Kim Soo-hyun's speedy return, the airing of Knockoff, and his continued success in many new and excellent projects.
It's true that I've been a bit biased in what I believe to be right. However, that's because I carefully assess the facts and then, based on those facts, make fair and just statements."

I truly believe that Kim Soo Hyun is a special person, and despite this agonizing situation he has been in for eight months, I believe he is the only one who can change something in the celebrity industry, which all too often falls victim to slander and then are thrown in the trash, which unfortunately leads most of them to take their own lives.
kim soo hyun did notimg wrong .He was unfairly dragged into rumours with no proof. His agency confirmed ha had…
As you can see, there are many gullible people who enjoy any gossip, even if it has no real basis, but only a sick imagination and a specific purpose. For those who believe that Kim Soo Hyun is to blame, it is just their desire to hate someone. The same people did the same thing with Kim Sae Ron when she was alive and with many other artists who committed suicide due to the ruthless judgment in the market. I hope the time comes when these online harassers will be held accountable, regardless of their age.
Kim Soo-hyun’s side: “Relationship with minor and KakaoTalk messages are all fabricated”… If true, it’s…
I really want to see both the parents of the late Kim Sae Ron and that harasser Kim Se Eui behind bars. In addition, I hope they will be forced to pay huge amounts of damages for the entire show they put on.
It's Kim Soo Hyun who is defending the deceased's honor, since he refuses to reveal anything about her love life…
It's a fact that Kim Soo Hyun is the one protecting everyone right now so that others don't get hurt. He had the opportunity to reveal who Kim Sae Ron's boyfriend was during the period in which he is accused of dating her. But he didn't want to do it, even though it would cost him a lot. By this fact, he demonstrates what kind of man he is. He knew he could clear his name instantly, but that would mean stooping to the level of the late Kim Sae Ron's parents and that cyber wrecker. You have to be indoctrinated with a lot of hate not to see these things so obvious.
Knowing so much about him now, I like him more than ever, not just the actor, but also the man behind the screen.
Soohyun’s diary, spanning over 200 pages, records not only personal reflections about a relationship but also detailed accounts of military training, operations, preparations for inter-Korean summits, and daily routines during his service.
A copy of the diary was submitted to investigative authorities immediately after filing a complaint against the perpetrators in March this year, and the original is securely held by Kim Soo-hyun’s team. The police inspected the original and, as its authenticity was not in doubt, only a copy was included in the investigation records.
——
And where is the “PINK DIARY” that Seitan, greedy family, 🐸, the fake aunt and those others who colluded in this “national fraud”?
WHEN KINDNESS BACKFIRES: HOW GOLD MEDALIST'S COMPASSION FOR KIM SAE-RON WAS TURNED INTO A WEAPON OF MASS DEFAMATIONDearest…
This whole case has outraged me immensely, in the face of absurd people who "think" without any logic but are willing to destroy an actor and a company. It's incredible how a gesture of goodwill has now been weaponized... Crazy and demonized Koreans.
ALL OF THE CONTENTS IS MY OPINION/PERCEPTION.What the public should find despicable is Kim Sae’s family. It…
The main accusation of cr!m*nal internet users and the greedy family is that of grooming. Then they jump in with other accusations like KSH was supposed to pay off her debt, when she, KSR, called him at the time to help her with the debt she had. They threw stones at him because he didn't come to her aid, although I don't see what obligation he had to do so? Then that he is a coward for not acknowledging the relationship with her (a relationship that ended years ago). That because he did not acknowledge the relationship with her (?), she lost any chance of returning to the industry and her credibility. Then they started accusing him of "k!ll*ng" Sulli and Go Hara. 😮 They dragged him through all sorts of sh!t without having anything concrete against him, just a few words that they threw into the bloodthirsty public via various online communication channels. And some continue tirelessly to call him a pedophile, even though it has been largely proven that this is just a fabrication by the family RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DAUGHTER'S DEATH!! So we cannot say "regardless of whether or not he had an intimate relationship with her when she was a minor", because this is destructive and therefore it must be clearly stated: THIS DID NOT HAPPEN! I believe this, especially since KSH knows exactly who the man was who was in a relationship with her during the period in which he is accused of being her boyfriend.
If you read what people write, you realize that you live in the middle of a crazy jungle, without a trace of conscience.
An old article, from the very beginning of the scandal, that no one wants to take into account, because it clearly speaks about the fact that Kim Soo Hyun has no involvement, of any kind, in Kim Sae Ron's problems, much less in the reason for her suicide.
It's an article in Korean and the translation isn't very accurate, but it's enough to get the gist: Kim Sae Ron wasn't supported by her family, and she even wanted to leave that family at all costs. And the man she married made her life even more difficult, through verbal, mental, and physical abuse.
Ask yourself some real questions and try to answer them by following the logical thread of events, not stories, and you will discover that things were complicated by some throwaway words, for which no one now wants to be held responsible.
"[Exclusive] Testimony from the late Kim Sae-ron's ex-boyfriend: "Kim Soo-hyun had nothing to do with Sae-ron's death."
What was the real reason behind Kim Sae-ron's death? examined the tips and testimony of Kim Sae-ron's ex-boyfriend, Mr. K, who she relied on and communicated with until her death, to uncover what truly weighed on the deceased.
[The Fact | Reporter Kang Il-hong] "I know that Saeron's death wasn't because of actor Kim Soo-hyun. I'm angry because there are so many parts of the truth that have been covered up. I want to share at least some of it with the world, if only to appease Saeron's soul."
The dead speak not. decided to delve into the true struggles of Kim Sae-ron through the tips and testimony of her ex-boyfriend, Mr. K, with whom she relied and communicated until her death. He stated, "Even Sae-ron, who has already passed away, would not want the cause of her death to be distorted from what it really was."
"I've lost hope in life."
Kim Sae-ron endured a painful period of conflict with two men until her death. Her ex-boyfriend, Mr. K, and a New York man (her husband) whom she reportedly married earlier that year. During the difficult times immediately following her marriage, Kim Sae-ron attempted to rely on her ex-boyfriend by communicating with him. Upon learning of this, the New York man took away her phone, monitored her, and verbally abused her. Kim Sae-ron broke up with her ex-boyfriend after meeting the New York man, but it appears she reconnected with him as she went through difficult times.
"Now that you're married, don't contact (the other guy) anymore and clean up your own mess after living together like X. You piece of shit, you piece of shit." (January 13, abusive text message sent to Kim Sae-ron by a New York man).
On January 15, Kim Sae-ron sent a text message to her ex-boyfriend, Mr. K, saying, "I'm sorry. Just swear at me, that XX, you crazy XX, that's because you're mentally ill. I keep getting sworn at and hit, but I don't change." She confessed her feelings, saying, "As long as you can be happy, I have no dreams or wishes. I loved you more than anyone else in the world."
Kim Sae-ron said, "I started seeing this person in November. At first, I didn't express myself and I was so lonely because I realized that you always had a hard time and I couldn't depend on you, so I looked away. I needed someone who would always listen to me and solve my problems. But that was only for a moment. After that, he started spreading photos of my KakaoTalk messages, hacked my Instagram and uploaded photos, and hit me and cursed at me. I was so scared. That's why I couldn't break up with him. I was afraid that this would harm you."
According to Mr. K, Kim Sae-ron suffered the most from her family's indifference and became pessimistic about her situation. On November 1, 2024, Kim Sae-ron self-harmed and tore her wrist ligament, requiring emergency surgery.
Regarding this, Mr. K said, "Immediately after Saeron was discharged from the hospital, I took her home and her biological mother was eating with an acquaintance calmly, and she didn't seem surprised or sympathetic to her pain at all." He added, "Because of this attitude from her family, Saeron always wanted to run away somewhere."
Kim Sae-ron confessed to Mr. K, whom she had relied on for emotional support even after marriage, about the reason she attempted suicide, saying, "I couldn't forgive myself for just cutting my wrists and I couldn't run away. I cut my throat countless times and hung myself with a hose, but all that left was a scar. I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise. And that's all I'm hurting."
"I have never met the actor Kim Soo-hyun, but I think it must be very unfair that he is being beaten up because of his fame."
Kim Soo Hyun is being wrongly accused, and most people like to believe the dark side of the story, instead of making this puzzle of information that has come to light so far. Here I am referring to all the inconsistencies of those who accused him, but also to the fact that an accused man has put part of his life on the table of judges and police, to prove his innocence. What else could he have done?? What would you do if you were accused of something??
Those who still shout "pedo" and other derogatory terms are simply unhappy people who feed on such stories that they want to believe, but also because they like to humiliate others to make themselves feel good. I have met such people and there are many of them, unfortunately.

When South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun found himself embroiled in one of the most explosive celebrity scandals of 2025, it wasn’t just about tabloid rumors—it became a full-blown legal and media showdown. On October 30, 2025, a hearing before the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea took centre stage, where testimony exposed what one witness called a “nation-wide fraud” perpetuated by the Garosero Research Institute. What began with the tragic death of actress Kim Sae-ron has now evolved into a test case for how far misinformation and AI-fabricated evidence can go before institutions step in.
The National Assembly hearing on October 30 became a watershed moment. Eun Hyun-jang, a YouTuber and whistleblower, testified that Garosero fabricated the evidence it had presented to the public—including forged KakaoTalk messages, edited photos, and AI-generated voice recordings. According to Eun, these fabrications were part of an orchestrated smear campaign intended to destroy Kim Soo-hyun’s reputation and drive public outrage.
The revelation shook the chamber. Lawmakers expressed alarm not just at the potential criminality of Garosero’s actions but at how easily manipulated evidence had been accepted as truth in the digital sphere. Chairwoman Choi Min-hee vowed to pursue further inquiry, calling the incident “a serious wake-up call about the consequences of unchecked online influence.”
Why It Matters Globally?
To North American readers, this story may sound like a uniquely Korean scandal, but its implications are far wider.
Digital Truth on Trial: The case serves as a warning about how easily deepfakes and AI-edited content can destroy reputations—and how existing legal systems struggle to keep up.
