The long-standing controversy involving late actress Kim Sae-Ron and K-Drama star Kim Soo-Hyun has resurfaced as South Korean prosecutors sought an arrest warrant for Kim Se-Ui, the head of the Garosero Institute YouTube channel. This legal action, requested on May 20, follows allegations of defamation and the dissemination of false information regarding the actors' past relationship and financial disputes. Kim Se-Ui is accused of making claims that Kim Soo-Hyun dated Kim Sae-Ron when she was a minor and suggesting that pressure from Kim Soo-Hyun's camp contributed to Kim Sae-Ron's death. The allegations also include the use of AI-manipulated audio recordings to spread misinformation, damaging Kim Soo-Hyun's reputation. The controversy began last year when transcripts were released, allegedly indicating a romantic involvement between the two actors since 2015. However, Kim Soo-Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, firmly denied these claims, asserting that their relationship started only in the summer of 2019, after Kim Sae-Ron reached legal age. The situation has intensified with a pre-trial detention hearing scheduled for May 26 at the Seoul Central District Court, as investigators continue to navigate the complexities of this high-profile case.
