Amid ongoing controversy surrounding actor Kim Soo Hyun’s alleged relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron, YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute has once again stirred public attention by teasing shocking new evidence involving the actor.
Previously on March 10, Kim Sae Ron’s family claimed via Garo Sero that Kim Soo Hyun had been romantically involved with Sae Ron since she was a minor. Soon after, intimate photos of the two surfaced online, sparking intense backlash. Although Kim Soo Hyun’s side initially denied the rumors as “completely baseless,” they reversed their stance on March 14, admitting that the two had dated between summer 2019 and fall 2020 after Sae Ron became an adult.
While Kim Sae Ron’s family is currently having the photos forensically analyzed and has filed a defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Lee Jin Ho for allegedly spreading false information, Lee fired back with his own explosive claim.
On March 19, Lee Jin Ho stated on his channel that Kim Sae Ron had actually married a non-celebrity boyfriend, became pregnant, and underwent an abortion. He released an audio recording allegedly between Sae Ron and a staff member, in which the woman claims she got pregnant while trying to break up and later married abroad.
However, on March 23, Gaseyeon’s Kim Se Ui strongly refuted Lee’s claim during a livestream, stating, “She had only known her New York boyfriend for less than a month. According to her close friends, around mid-December she said, ‘Should I date this guy in New York?’ So how could she get pregnant and have an abortion by January 8? That’s physically impossible this isn’t some old Hollywood alien movie.”
Kim Se Ui then claimed to have access to full chat logs between Sae Ron and her friends, and warned, “Let’s see if Kim Soo Hyun’s agency tries to bribe or threaten them.”
More shockingly, he added, “What Kim Soo Hyun should really be afraid of is coming soon. This isn’t just about dating a minor this could be criminal under the law. It’s beyond grooming. It’s Nth Room level. Even more extreme. Just wait.”
He emphasized, “The most important thing is having the family’s consent. We’re fighting to protect Kim Sae Ron’s honor. We have something huge something that will absolutely shock people but for now, we’re holding onto it for the sake of her dignity.”
At the end of his statement, Kim Se Ui made a gesture that mimicked biting a pen and having his wrists tied, repeatedly asking, “Mr. Kim Soo Hyun, you like this kind of thing, right?” – a cryptic but chilling tease of what may be revealed next.
Meanwhile, on March 24, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, released an official statement announcing an additional legal complaint against Kim Se Ui, operator of Garo Sero, at the same time insisting that footage of Kim Soo Hyun at “Nth Room level” like Garo Sero claimed doesn’t exist.
“These claims are completely false,” the agency emphasized, adding, “There is no such video, and the content being pushed by Garo Sero is entirely baseless.”
