YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute (GaSeYeon) is making waves again, claiming they were kicked out of Kim Soo Hyun’s press conference.

On March 31, Kim Se Ui, a member of GaSeYeon, had announced that they would be doing a live broadcast on the day of Kim Soo Hyun’s press conference.

However, once the event began, GaSeYeon shocked viewers by claiming, "We were kicked out (of the press conference)." They even threatened to release more private videos of Kim Soo Hyun in another live broadcast later that evening.

During the 45-minute press conference, Kim Soo Hyun became emotional as he denied the allegations against him, saying he was frustrated by the situation.

He once again stated that he dated the late Kim Sae Ron for about a year but accused GaSeYeon and Kim Sae Ron’s family of fabricating evidence to frame him as a pedophile, a groomer of minors, and even a murderer.

His legal team confirmed that they had already filed civil and criminal lawsuits against Kim Sae Ron’s family, her self-proclaimed aunt, and GaSeYeon’s Kim Se Ui, demanding 12 billion KRW (around 90 million USD) in compensation for damages.

Despite the legal action, GaSeYeon remained defiant, saying they would continue exposing private videos of Kim Soo Hyun.

Now, many are asking—who truly benefits from all this drama, and when will it finally end? The public is growing tired of the never-ending controversy.

Actor Kim Soo Hyun's dedicated fanbase is taking action against online hate and false rumors aimed at damaging his reputation.

On April 22nd, the Kim Soo Hyun Fan Union (comprising Daum Cafe Yukaris and DC Inside Kim Soo Hyun Gallery) released a statement announcing they are working to file criminal charges against those spreading harmful slander about the actor.

Their lawyer, Yang Tae Young from Law Firm Siwoo, revealed that they plan to take legal action as soon as this week, filing a formal complaint at the Seoul Seongbuk Police Station. According to the fan union, these online users are violating the Information and Communication Network Act by spreading malicious defamation.

While defamation cases can be pursued by third parties, unlike insults which require the victim to act, the fan union is determined to protect Kim Soo Hyun's reputation. They stated, "This is a voluntary movement to defend the actor’s rights and maintain a healthy fan culture. We won’t tolerate personal attacks disguised as freedom of speech and will take action without hesitation."

The fan union also emphasized that this effort is not just limited to South Korea. International fans have joined the movement, showing support for the cause. The union has gathered solid evidence, including harmful comments, manipulated images, and false posts made over the past few months.

In a related move, Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, filed a separate report with the authorities on April 15th, condemning the continuous spread of baseless rumors and unverified claims that have been damaging to the actor’s image. They also filed a defamation lawsuit.

This all stems from claims made by the family of late actress Kim Sae Ron, starting in March. Through the Garoseero Research Institute YouTube channel, they alleged that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship from November 2015 (when Kim Sae Ron was a minor) until July 2021. They presented supposed evidence such as handwritten letters Kim Soo Hyun allegedly sent to Kim Sae Ron during his military service and a photo of Kim Soo Hyun kissing Kim Sae Ron on the cheek.

In response, Kim Soo Hyun's agency clarified on March 14th that the actor only began a relationship with Kim Sae Ron after she became an adult, from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020. Kim Soo Hyun also addressed the rumors directly during a press conference on March 31st, stating, "I did not date Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor."

The situation continues to unfold, with fans and the actor taking a firm stance against the damaging rumors.
