Sunny Day

As most of you probably already know, today Kim Se-ui appeared at the Gangnam Police Station to be questioned regarding the allegations made in the 16 complaints filed against him, excluding the complaints submitted by Kim Soo-hyun. What struck me was the smile on his face as he left the station after four hours of questioning, along with his statement that he intends to sue those who accused him.
I tried to make a comparison, thinking of the 19 hours of interrogation that Lee Sun-kyun endured, despite having negative drug test results. Four hours of questioning for 16 complaints, while Lee Sun-kyun faced 19 hours of questioning for a single accusation. For the sake of fairness, my logic suggested a calculation like this: 16 complaints × 19 hours per allegation = 304 hours. It seems there is no fairness or equality of treatment within the police system.
And in that arrogant smile he displayed, I saw the “bloodstains” of past victims. It is nothing more than the image of an offender strutting freely, celebrating after receiving preferential treatment from the police, while accusing the country’s president of being a dictator.
A few days ago, it was reported that the Garosero Research Institute / Kim Se-ui keeps a sort of registry listing public figures (whether from politics, entertainment, or other fields) many of whom allegedly pay him money, a kind of mafia-style “protection tax”: give me money and I won’t publish damaging material about you. Looking at Kim Soo-hyun’s situation, we can now understand why such individuals were afraid and gave in to this kind of blackmail: because the truth of what is published doesn’t even matter.
Once again, I try to do another calculation, this time of Kim Se-ui’s victims, multiplying by 19 hours of questioning (as in Lee Sun-kyun's case), but there is no possible way it results in 4.
Today’s 4 hours of interrogation of Kim Se-ui are a slap in the face to the dignity of South Korea.

The Extortion Scheme Targeting Mr. Kim Soo Hyun

According to Attorney Kho Sang Rock, it has been established that Mr. Kim Soo Hyun was the target of a deliberate scheme intended to extort money from him. The evidence indicates that the family of the deceased did not seek an apology or justice, but rather monetary gain. This fact can no longer be reasonably disputed.

As Attorney Kho Sang Rock has proven, prior to making any public accusations, the family of the deceased entered into a contractual agreement with Attorney Bu Ji Seok. Said contract stipulated that Attorney Bu Ji Seok’s lawyers fee would amount to twenty percent (20%) of the “success fee.”
A lawyer charges a fee for his services, which consist of legal assistance and representation. The lawyer's fee is usually a fixed amount, either a regular fee or a success fee. However, when a financial gain in money is sought, the lawyer's fee can be a percentage fee that will be charged in relation to the amount to be won.
In this case, what does that 20% percentage represent? What amount does it refer to that would be won because the lawyer for the deceased's family did not file any claim for compensation for the deceased's family?
This raises a critical legal question: a lawyers success fee from what? To receive a lawyer's fee, you must carry out professional legal activity.
What legal work did Bu Ji Seok carry out for the deceased's family to obtain monetary compensation from which to calculate the 20% percentage?
The family did not file any formal claim for damages or compensations before a court of law, nor did they submit any criminal complaint seeking compensation.

The only reasonable inference is that the parties involved—namely the family of the deceased, Attorney Bu Ji Seok, and certain YouTubers—anticipated that, under public pressure generated by their false accusations and defamatory statements, Mr. Kim Soo Hyun would offer a monetary settlement to suppress the fabricated controversy. From such payment, Attorney Bu Ji Seok was to receive twenty percent (20%) and probably share it with YouTubers Kwon Young Chan and Kim Se Ui.

In my professional opinion, these actions constitute serious criminal offenses, including the formation of a criminal organization, conspiracy to commit blackmail, and extortion—by means of threats to publicly disclose or fabricate information in order to coerce the victim into payment. As Mr. Kim Soo Hyun refused to succumb to such unlawful pressure, the perpetrators escalated their conduct by making further public “revelations,” thereby committing additional offenses, including the fabrication and dissemination of false evidence.

This conduct does not reflect the grief of a bereaved family seeking justice. Rather, it represents a calculated and coordinated criminal enterprise designed to defame, extort, and financially exploit an innocent individual.

However, records must be kept in case the messages are deleted.

Considering that there has been virtually no progress in the complaints filed by Kim Soo-hyun against Kim Se-ui and the deceased’s family, why are these cases still being handled by the same investigation team? To claim that the inquiry has “progressed significantly” when even the results of a forensic examination have been pending for more than three months is simply absurd. Kim Se-ui’s threats raises serious suspicions of corruption and collusion. The question now is: who’s afraid of Ga Se-yeon?

[Statement Regarding the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Regular Briefing]

> “If you arrest me, I’ll press charges against all of you.”

What exactly does Mr. Kim Se-ui intend by such a remark, and on what grounds does he threaten to press charges against the Gangnam Police officers?
While he claims it would be for abuse of authority, it is hard to interpret such a public threat as anything other than a deliberate act of intimidation.

If there were indeed any circumstances within the police organization that could expose certain officers to legal risk from Mr. Kim, then this would go far beyond mere rhetoric—it would amount to a real act of coercion.
At present, no such facts have been verified, and the following is purely my personal opinion.
Nonetheless, it is difficult to understand this behavior.

In yesterday’s broadcast, the same person who cowardly referred to actor Kim Soo-hyun and me as “those guys” and “them,” suddenly turned to hurl direct insults and threats at the very police officers investigating him.
There is something undeniably strange about this situation.

Every action has a reason behind it.
And Mr. Kim’s public provocation toward the Gangnam Police yesterday was, without doubt, an extraordinary act—strange enough to raise reasonable suspicion.
In a case that has drawn significant public attention, maintaining public confidence in the fairness of judicial procedure is a cornerstone of the rule of law.
The police must now take swift and sufficient action to dispel these doubts and restore public trust in the integrity of the investigative process.
---
Meanwhile, some media readers have misunderstood today’s Seoul Metropolitan Police briefing headline—assuming that “the original investigative team handling Kim Soo-hyun’s case has been replaced by a new special task force.”
However, according to the actual report, “the case has already progressed substantially, and the existing investigative team will continue to handle it.”
In other words, nothing has changed.

While it is within the police’s discretion to say that the investigation has “largely progressed,”
I personally remain concerned as to whether that investigation has truly addressed the core substance of the case.

We seek a prompt and proper conclusion to this matter.
Therefore, seven and a half months after the initial complaint (March 20),
we have no current plan to request replacement of the investigative team.

However, from the victim’s standpoint, the prolonged delay in relief forced us—after September 30—to disclose limited portions of the actor’s private records in order to correct widespread misinformation.
As the public and media began to acknowledge these facts, the timing of this sudden internal movement within the police feels, to the actor’s legal representative, both perplexing and deeply disheartening.
---
Accordingly, I respectfully ask the investigative team to listen carefully to the victim’s voice and to provide responsible answers to the following three key questions.
If there have been any deficiencies, please immediately conduct all necessary measures—such as seizure and analysis of the perpetrators’ group chat logs—and clarify the facts surrounding their coordination.

1️⃣ Concerning the two key KakaoTalk conversations

June 2016: “When can I fall asleep holding you?”

April 2018: “If you don’t try harder, I’ll break up with you.”

According to the materials recently released by Kim Soo-hyun’s side,
it is highly persuasive that these messages could not have been sent by the actor himself—an assessment widely echoed in major media reports.
Nevertheless, as of seven months after their public disclosure (March 27 second press conference), the Gangnam Police have neither obtained nor examined these KakaoTalk files.

This is the core evidence of the entire case.
The police must therefore clearly explain why these records have not yet been secured or analyzed.
---
2️⃣ Regarding the so-called “Kim Sae-ron voice recording”

After Mr. Kim’s March 10 broadcast, he released at his May 7 press conference a file he claimed to be “a voice recording of the late Ms. Kim Sae-ron.”
From the moment it was made public, serious AI-manipulation suspicions were raised.

Yet this file was not submitted for forensic examination to the National Forensic Service (NFS) until August—five months later—and even now, over three months later, no result has been issued.

Given the global gravity of deepfake and AI voice-synthesis crimes, it is unacceptable that the verification of such central evidence in a major case remains stalled for over half a year.

We therefore ask:

Why was the forensic request so delayed?

Why has the NFS not yet produced a result?

Has the investigation been effectively halted pending that result?

And why has the police not, in parallel, secured the original KakaoTalk data for comparison?
---
3️⃣ On the scope of investigation into collusion and participation

Based on the public statements and materials disclosed at the press conferences,
this incident cannot reasonably be viewed as the act of Mr. Kim Se-ui alone.
There are clear indications of active involvement by the deceased’s family and their attorney, Mr. Bu Ji-seok.

It is thus necessary to clarify how far the investigation into such collusion has actually progressed.
Without clear answers and decisive measures, the police’s statement that “the case has already been substantially investigated” will not be convincing to the public.
---
Furthermore, the Seoul police also announced that the cases filed by Ms. Eun Hyun-jang, journalist Kang Kyung-yoon, and myself against Mr. Kim Se-ui have now been assigned to the new special task force.
This inevitably raises a fundamental question: How much longer have these cases been delayed up to now?

Mr. Kim Se-ui, who has repeatedly fabricated evidence and spread falsehoods, has inflicted severe reputational harm on numerous victims—
and is now openly cursing at and threatening the very police officers investigating him.

The prolonged stagnation of dozens of criminal complaints against him has fostered deep public skepticism about the fairness of judicial procedure.

It is therefore my earnest request that these doubts be dispelled at last,
and that a fair, thorough, and timely investigation be conducted without further delay.

Attorney Sang-rock Kho
Legal representative of actor Kim Soo-hyun

Statement by Police representatives
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency has assigned 16 of the 21 cases related to Kim Se-ui to a newly established intensive investigation team within the Gangnam Police Station’s Investigation Division 3. This team will comprehensively manage cases involving different accusers and overlapping content, and is reportedly prioritizing those with slower progress.
Five cases involving actor Kim Soo-hyun, who drew public attention following Ga Se-yeon’s revelations, will remain under the jurisdiction of the existing Gangnam Police Station investigation team.
Commissioner Park Jeong-bo explained, “The investigation into the Kim Soo-hyun case has already made significant progress. We have sent the seized materials to the National Forensic Service (NFS) for analysis and are awaiting the results. As these cases are at a relatively advanced stage, the existing team will continue to handle them without any changes.”

Honestly, I think Disney+ is going to hit the jackpot when it finally releases the “Knock-off”. Even though the premiere got pushed back, these past few months have sent Kim Soo Hyun’s popularity through the roof. You can really see that he’s become a global phenomenon. People are waking up, starting to see the dangers of manipulation and disinformation online, and even those who had never heard of him before are now searching for every bit of news about him.
I’ve seen comments from people all over the world saying the story has been covered in their own countries (Hungary for example). They didn’t know who he was before, but now they’re watching his movies and dramas, getting curious about the person behind the headlines. Once Kim Soo Hyun wins that first lawsuit, Disney+ can drop the drama and I’m sure it’s going to shatter every revenue record out there.

If you actually read the article, you’ll see it’s an official report detailing the mission carried out by the 1st Division Search Battalion — the very same days when Gaseyon publicly claimed that those writings were authored by Kim Soo Hyun. The timeline exposes the lie: the supposed writings were dated exactly to the day of the operation. In other words, not only could Kim Soo Hyun not have written them, but it would have been impossible for him to be on leave from the military or to have met the deceased, as claimed.
Even though the article focuses primarily on the mission itself and mentions Kim Soo Hyun only briefly, it stands as verifiable evidence from 2018 — a clear contradiction of the fabricated story. Once again, the truth catches up fast. Lies really do have short legs.

Justice will come soon. Even Kim Se ui knows that.

[Urgent Statement]
Kim Se-ui’s Threat Against Investigators — Legal Implications and the Need for Immediate Action

After remaining completely silent for over a month since September 30, 2025,
Kim Se-ui finally spoke for the first time on November 2 through his YouTube channel GSR.

Regarding the ongoing cyber-crime case against actor Kim Soo-hyun,
he simply stated:

> “We will not respond to every claim one by one — the truth will be decided in court.”

For more than a month, I, as the legal representative of actor Kim Soo-hyun, have repeatedly and publicly requested that Mr. Kim clarify two critical criminal issues.
As expected, he once again refused to answer.

1. The reason why the 3,000 photos he promised to disclose after the Korean presidential election (June 3) have still not been released.

2. The basis and reasoning for concluding that actor Kim Soo-hyun was the sender of the following two KakaoTalk messages, which Mr. Kim claimed as “key evidence”:
　– June 2016 message: “When can I fall asleep in your arms?”
　– April 2018 message: “If you’re not going to try harder, I’ll end this.”

However, shockingly, during the very same broadcast, Kim Se-ui made the following threatening remarks:

> “Gangnam Police detectives, just try arresting me, you f***ing bastards.
If you arrest me, I’ll file criminal charges against you.
Gangnam Police know exactly how vicious I am.”
(From GSR broadcast titled “Shocking Exclusive: Perjury Coaching — Lee Jae-myung & Kim Hyun-ji Heading to Prison,” aired November 2 at 35:24 – 35:55)

This statement clearly reveals an intention to intimidate or obstruct legitimate law-enforcement activities in an ongoing criminal investigation concerning himself.
It is an extraordinary and alarming incident, far beyond what could be considered a typical suspect’s remark.

Moreover, it came just days after the October 30 National Assembly hearing,
where the delayed investigation into Mr. Kim’s criminal cases and alleged political protection were formally raised by lawmakers.
This timing strongly suggests that his threats were a direct retaliation against the National Assembly’s criticism.

Through a public broadcast, Kim Se-ui explicitly targeted the Gangnam Police investigative team and officers—without naming them but clearly referring to those currently investigating him—
and directed obscene insults and threats at them.
His behavior raises multiple potential criminal liabilities, including:

Obstruction of Justice (Article 136, Korean Criminal Act)
— Using threats to interfere with lawful law-enforcement actions such as arrest or investigation.

Criminal Intimidation (Article 283)
— Directly threatening public officials performing their duties.

Defamation and Public Insult (Article 311)
— Publicly insulting and degrading police officers on a broadcast platform.

In particular, given that the specific Gangnam Police investigation teams (1st Division Team 8, 2nd Division Teams 9 and 13, etc.) and their individual officers are identifiable,
his remark—“you f***ing bastards”—constitutes a public insult and a clear threat intended to intimidate law-enforcement officers from performing their duties.

It is also worth noting that back on June 11, when media raised concerns over the delayed progress of the Kim Soo-hyun case,
Kim Se-ui publicly claimed that he “had not been summoned even once by Gangnam Police for three months,”
and even mentioned the name of a supervising officer, thereby undermining the integrity and neutrality of the investigative process.
That incident had already triggered significant public concern regarding the fairness of the investigation.

Kim Se-ui is a criminal suspect who has repeatedly staged press conferences based on fabricated evidence and false statements,
thereby committing severe reputational and psychological harm to one of Korea’s most prominent actors
and to countless citizens and international fans.

For such a person to now publicly shout,

> “Just try arresting me, you f***ing bastards,”
toward the police immediately after a parliamentary inquiry,
is not a mere emotional outburst.
It is a direct challenge and threat to the judicial process and the authority of the state itself.

If investigative authorities fail to act decisively in response to this incident,
the public will inevitably perceive the collapse and humiliation of law enforcement,
and the already-raised suspicion of political protection will only deepen.

This matter demands an immediate, firm, and lawful response.
To restore public confidence and uphold the dignity of lawful authority,
swift and resolute action by investigative authorities is essential at this very moment.

November 3, 2025
Sang-rock Kho, Attorney-at-Law
Law PIL
Legal Representative for Actor Kim Soo-hyun

Some want to look like real heroes in the virtual world because, in real life, they can’t even stop to look in the mirror. No matter how chameleon-like they try to be, who they truly are is revealed through the words they write. Unfortunately, no matter how many accounts they create or how hard they try to prove something, they only end up showing that recycling the packaging never changes the content.

I have reason to believe that there exists a well-founded suspicion of corruption within the police structure, which has prompted the higher authorities to initiate an ex officio complaint. Such an action is likely to have a significant impact on all pending matters involving complaints against Kim Se-ui, including those arising from the complaints submitted by Kim Soo-hyun.

Upon reviewing the YouTube recording containing excerpts from the speech of the “God of Business” before the National Assembly, together with the journalist’s accompanying remarks, it becomes clear that the statements reveal and denounce the unlawful actions committed by Kim Se-ui. Furthermore, this s I think is an increasing tendency to frame his conduct within the sphere of criminal investigation, as his actions during the period of the martial law decree appear to constitute instigation to dictatorial violence.

It is indeed not the standard procedure. The transfer of the case to a specialized team may have resulted from a self-referral (ex officio action) by higher bodies within the police. Such a measure does not necessarily aim to finalize the investigations in the existing case file, but rather arises from the existence of a reasonable suspicion of corruption within the police structure. Depending on the outcome of the preliminary assessment, the case may either be retained for investigation by the competent specialized unit or returned to the team that had been conducting the initial investigation.

Lately, several official statements have been issued by Kim Soo Hyun, and certain pieces of evidence have been made public — only those disclosed with permission, as there is a substantial amount of additional evidence contained in the case file.
Let’s have a short overview of the case
1. The deceased’s message about a supposed relationship with KSH contains clear errors. It wasn’t sent to accuse him but to talk to a friend. These mistakes show the message was false from the start.
2. The KakaoTalk conversation shows that the man she was talking to never mentioned filming, while KSH was shooting Real at that time. If it were KSH, he would have said something like “I hope to finish filming soon to meet you,” not “I will wait for you” — indicating the messages are fake.
https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxWUJAGdYdJLCI043jit_QHhXuNl6n70TW
3. The photo of KSH attached to the messages was proven to have been taken in 2020, confirmed by the person who took it. His statement has now been officially recorded by the police.
https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxfswJrfD2ubr4QcN5hAA3lJuU2NrN1_11
4. Between 2016 and 2018, there is no evidence of further messages, photos, or any contact between them.
5. During his military service, there is only one letter — and it contains no reference to any romantic relationship. If they had been together since 2016, there would likely be at least a brief mention or reminder.
6. The alleged messages dated April 2, 2018, could not have been sent by KSH because he was in active military service, where phone use was not allowed. The proposed meeting dates also don’t match his military schedule, as he was on duty with his Division. Media reports from that period confirm this.
https://ichannela.com/news/detail/000000088403.do
https://www.news2day.co.kr/101779?site_preference=normal
7. The deceased’s messages during that period clearly refer to another man. She wrote that she was disappointed she couldn’t reach him when she needed him — but KSH was in military service, without access to a phone, and couldn’t answer her.
https://www.koreaherald.com/article/1916696#:~:text=The%20ministry%20started%20a%20pilot,the%20policy%20for%20all%20soldiers.
So, it doesn't make sense to have sent him such messages. This proves she was speaking with someone else, and she was in a different relationship that was falling apart.
8. Her ex-boyfriend later stated that she had suffered domestic violence from her husband in the U.S., sharing also photos of her self injuries. This supports the view that she was deeply traumatized and saw suicide as her only escape.
https://m.tf.co.kr/read/entertain/2190507.htm?retRef=Y&source=https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2F&retRef=Y&source=https%3A%2F%2Fl.threads.com%2F
Conclusion: Considering that Valentine’s Day had just passed (February 14) and she was alone after a failed marriage, it seems likely that she saw suicide as the only way out once again. Her family environment only deepened her despair.
By making public (false) recordings in which the deceased appears to be speaking extremely vulgarly, the family confirms that they were never interested in the deceased's condition and image.
I hope the police will complete their investigation and issue a verdict soon.

It seems that the court did not agree with FromBio. Importantly, the court remained steadfast and wants to know the outcome of the criminal case opened against Garosero and the family of the deceased.
“The court took a cautious approach to the plaintiff's claim of a causal relationship between the rental contract and Kim Sae-ron's death, stating, "It is difficult to directly link the rental fee issue to the extreme choice." Furthermore, the court stated, "It is difficult to make a judgment in a situation where the exact breach of contract has not been identified," and announced its intention to monitor the progress of the criminal case.
This civil suit, predicated on a criminal case that has yet to be concluded, is a trial where both Kim Soo-hyun and the advertiser are involved. The advertiser claims breach of contract due to the social controversy, but the facts surrounding that controversy are being addressed in the criminal case. Conversely, if Kim Soo-hyun's side wants to prove damages caused by false allegations, the truth must be established through a criminal investigation.”
https://www.frame-less.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=1400

Calls have now been made on different platforms to gather evidence against users who persist in defamatory actions, with the intention of filing a criminal complaint.

The attorney Kho Sang rock’s video has surpassed 3 million views.
“The truth is now spreading beyond borders and reaching the entire world. I thought it was a nationwide project, but it's actually a global project. It's estimated that actor Kim Soo-hyun is known to around 3 billion people.
The impact of the cybercrime committed by Kim Se-ui is unimaginable, having a tremendous impact on the world. Some people misunderstand defamation as something like gossip, but that's a serious problem. The essence of this case is systematic evidence manipulation, a fraud committed against 3 billion people worldwide, and an unprecedented crime that completely destroys the character and dignity of an individual.”
Attorney Kho Sang Rock

Kim Se-ui's next move: "Kho Sang-rock is a Chinese. The Communist Party was involved in this incident."
That’s funny!

As stated below, they believe they will escape punishment — not due to innocence, but because no action has yet been taken against Kim See-ui (Gaseyon).
This isn’t simple defamation, it’s evidence falsification used to accuse a man. Those who use such tactics must face severe penalties.

Motivated by greed and the conviction that they will face no punishment.
Let’s take a look at what happened today.
On the 30th (today), “The God of Business” Eun Hyeon-jang attended the National Assembly audit as a witness in the Cyber Wrecker case and raised an urgent question.
He noted that he himself had been investigated within just two to three months in ten complaints filed against him, yet the Gangnam Police have failed to investigate Kim Se-ui, even though a complaint against him was filed over a year ago. How is that possible?
In fact, there are more than 20 complaints against Kim Se-ui, including Kim Soo-hyun’s, but the Gangnam Police are not conducting investigations according to the law. Kim Se-ui has even arrogantly claimed that no one can punish him — not even the President could send him to jail.
How is it possible that a person involved in so many alleged criminal acts is still broadcasting publicly? That was the powerful question raised during the National Assembly audit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YKsZnTOOUw
- Kim Se-ui in a video during the martial law declaration on December 3 : "You think martial law is a joke right now, but South Korea is in a state of war. I'm speechless. (Reading the article title) 'About 150 members of the National Assembly, gather and climb over the wall', does this make any sense to you? I hope the martial law army immediately gathers at the National Assembly and arrests all those scum and criminals who violated martial law."

- Lee : "This is the exact equivalent of inciting sedition. I get the feeling that these parts are not being properly investigated by the special prosecutors or other such organizations."
(Omitted)
- Eun : "I think that if the police station investigates quickly, there won't be any other victims."

She was adorable trying to explain to me what a local bar was, once again showing her "glitters" of mind that can't understand a pun.
