Kim Soo Hyun's representative filed an additional criminal complaint against Kim Se Eui (hereinafter referred to as KSE), the operator of YouTube channel HOVERLAB, for defamation and tracking. In addition, Kim Soo Hyun's representative filed an additional criminal complaint against the family of actor Kim Sae Ron for serious defamation.
The actor's representative said that at a press conference held on May 7, 2025, KSE announced that: "Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron started dating when Kim Sae Ron was in high school, and the couple had their first sex while Kim Sae Ron was in his second year of high school, during her winter break. There is a voice recording file that serves as evidence for this.
However, Kim Soo Hyun gave the supplier 4 billion won for the recording. After that, when the person providing the information refused, Kim Soo Hyun hired two murderers to try to kill him to provide the information."
Kim Soo Hyun's representative affirmed that the above statements were unreasonable and completely untrue, but this YouTuber said them as if they were factual and had evidence.
Kim Soo Hyun's representative also said that KSE had made false statements about Gold Medalist - Kim Soo Hyun's company in order to help the actor erase evidence related to Kim Sae Ron's story.
Kim Soo Hyun's representative reiterated that KSE's above accusations are all fabricated lies. KSE has spread false rumors about Kim Soo Hyun haphazardly by using fake recordings and images found on the internet.
Kim Soo Hyun representative said that these are more serious crimes than KSE has committed to date.
Therefore, Kim Soo Hyun and Gold Medalist decided to take action by filing a criminal complaint against KSE and Kim Sae Ron's family members.
"We will not stop until these individuals are punished according to the law and legal procedures" - Kim Soo Hyun's representative said.
