According to Hankyung, on October 4, lawyer Go Sang Rok of Pil Law Firm - Kim Soo Hyun's legal representative - publicly disclosed some evidence accusing YouTube channel Garosero of providing false information.
The lawyer said that the intimate photo that Kim Sae Ron posted on Instagram on March 25, 2024 was taken between February 18-23, 2020 ( along with some other photos), according to information displayed on the iPad, submitted to the investigation agency. This is contrary to the information in the actor's message when he said that the photo was taken in 2016.
The photos that Garosero published were taken during the two's dating period from December 2019 to the spring of 2020, when Kim Sae Ron was an adult.
Kim Soo Hyun's side suspected that this was a plan carefully prepared since Kim Sae Ron was alive. In the letter of encouragement that is believed to be of Kim Sae Ron that has not been posted yet, there is a section written "their relationship lasted from November 19, 2015 to July 7, 2021".
But if this plan was implemented at that time, it would immediately be exposed as a lie. The proof is that Kim Sae Ron sent a message to a reporter, afraid that the media would report the news.
When Kim Sae Ron passed away, the plan was perfectly executed by Kim Sae Ron's family and YouTube channel Garosero, accusing Kim Soo Hyun of psychological manipulation and dating minors.
The lawyer also pointed out that Kim Sae Ron's letter of resignation had many obvious errors. For example, the detail "one is 16 years old and the other is 30 years old", while the real age difference between the two is 12 years old.
In addition, the information provided by Garosero is false and constantly being changed. Initially, they claimed that the two had been dating for 6 years since she was in grade 9, then changed to Sex since grade 8 to try to destroy Kim Soo Hyun.
During his military service, Kim Soo Hyun only sent Kim Sae Ron one letter when she was in grade 12, and there was no love factor like the hundreds of letters he sent to his real girlfriend. The lawyer emphasized that this cannot be considered evidence of Kim Soo Hyun's "multiple years of psychological manipulation and exploitation of children" as Garosero claimed.
Kim Soo Hyun's lawyer also questioned Garosero's saying that after the presidential election (June 3, 2025), they will "publish thousands of photos" accusing the actor of dating minors. But now, after 4 months, there are no more photos, because they do not exist at all.
In the process of clarifying the truth, Kim Soo Hyun set the principle of limiting the harm to others. But there are still people pouring cold water on the efforts of the actor and the company.
The lawyer emphasized that those who left comments that they were "bored with the case" or "no longer wanted to know the truth" were the ones who created monsters like today's Garosero.
