The Kim Soo-hyun Fan Union has determined that it can no longer tolerate the ongoing malicious defamation, dissemination of false information, defamation of honor, and personal insults directed at actor Kim Soo-hyun.
Accordingly, we have already proceeded with the 1st and 2nd lawsuits against malicious commenters, and the related legal procedures are currently underway.
Even as the perpetrator Kim Se-ui has been detained and actor Kim Soo-hyun's grievances and the truth are gradually coming to light, some individuals continue to engage in malicious defamation, dissemination of false information, and posting personal attacks in comments.
In response, the Fan Union will hold accountable to the end those responsible for additional malicious posts and comment-writing activities, and we strongly warn that we plan to proceed with the 3rd reporting as well.
Even if you hide behind anonymity, all records remain. Even posts written in a moment of emotion or as a lighthearted prank can cause irreparable wounds and harm to someone.
We earnestly request that you immediately cease any further malicious defamation and dissemination of false information.

**[Exclusive] Prosecutors seek arrest warrant for Kim Se-ui over alleged defamation of Kim Soo-hyun … “Risk of extreme action, detention necessary”**
The Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office has requested an arrest warrant for Kim Se-ui, the head of the YouTube channel *Garo Sero Institute* (“GaSeYeon”), who has been in a legal dispute with actor Kim Soo-hyun after broadcasting claims that the late Kim Sae-ron dated Kim Soo-hyun while she was still a minor.
According to the report, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office filed the warrant request on the 19th, stating that there were sufficient grounds to approve the police request for detention in a case involving alleged violations of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (distribution of illegally filmed material, etc.).
Kim Se-ui’s warrant hearing is scheduled for May 26 at 10:30 a.m. at the Seoul Central District Court.
Previously, the Gangnam Police Station, which investigated the case following Kim Soo-hyun’s complaint, cited the following reasons for detention:
* seriousness of the crime
* risk of repeat offenses
* possibility of evidence destruction or flight
* concerns about harm toward the victim or key witnesses
In its warrant request submitted to prosecutors on the 14th, police stated:
> “Without sufficiently verifying the facts, the suspect repeatedly claimed through YouTube broadcasts and press conferences that the complainant (Kim Soo-hyun) dated and had sexual relations with the deceased while she was a minor, and that pressure from the complainant’s side over debt repayment caused the deceased’s death.”
Police further stated that Kim Se-ui allegedly received KakaoTalk screenshots from the bereaved family showing conversations between the deceased and an unidentified person, then modified the material so it appeared to be conversations between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron.
According to police:
* Kim Soo-hyun’s photo was allegedly inserted into the KakaoTalk profile section.
* The conversation partner’s name was allegedly changed from “Unknown” to Kim Soo-hyun.
* Despite allegedly knowing the identity of the other participant was unconfirmed, Kim Se-ui allegedly presented the chats as genuine conversations between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron.
Police also emphasized that Kim Se-ui repeatedly spread alleged false claims that:
* Kim Soo-hyun dated Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor.
* Kim Soo-hyun drove her to her death.
In addition, police claimed that Kim Se-ui broadcast several private images related to Kim Soo-hyun, including a photo allegedly showing Kim Soo-hyun washing dishes at Kim Sae-ron’s home, and pressured him psychologically by suggesting that more private materials would be released unless he apologized to the bereaved family or issued a statement.
Police concluded there were substantial grounds to suspect violations including:
* defamation through false information
* defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act
The police also argued that Kim Se-ui, who is already involved in multiple investigations and trials, would likely understand the serious criminal liability he could face if additionally indicted in this case, and therefore may attempt to evade legal procedures or flee.
They further stated that Kim Se-ui has been under considerable pressure due to political rallies and various social and economic controversies surrounding him. #KimSooHyun #WeStandWithKimSooHyun

‼️‼️ FINALLY ‼️‼️
[Exclusive] Prosecution Requests Arrest Warrant for Kim Se-ui on Charges of Defaming Kim Soo-hyun … "Concerns Over Extreme Choice, Arrest Necessary"
Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office: "Recognized the Police's Grounds for Warrant Application"
Seoul Central District Court to Hold Warrant Review on the 26th
Kim Se-ee: "Grounds for Arrest are Absurd, Application Aimed at Silencing Me"
Kim Se-ui, representative of the YouTube channel HoverLab (Garo Sero Research Institute), who is currently in a legal battle with actor Kim Soo-hyun after broadcasting claims that the late Kim Sae-ron had dated Kim Soo-hyun since she was a minor—which Kim Soo-hyun denies—is set to appear in court on the 26th for a substantive review of his arrest warrant prior to detainment.
According to this paper's investigation, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office requested an arrest warrant on the 19th, stating, "The grounds for applying for an arrest warrant against the suspect (Kim Se-ui, representative of HoverLab) for violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes (distribution of materials filmed using cameras, etc.) are recognized as substantial."
The warrant review for Representative Kim Se-ui will take place on May 26th at 10:30 AM at the Seoul Central District Court.
Previously, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station, which investigated the case following a complaint filed by Kim Soo-hyun, cited the following reasons for the arrest:
The severity of the crime
The risk of recidivism
Concerns over destruction of evidence and flight risk
Concerns over harm to the victim and key witnesses
In the arrest warrant application submitted to the prosecution on the 14th, the police stated:
"Without verifying the truth, the suspect repeatedly asserted through YouTube broadcasts and press conferences that the complainant (Kim Soo-hyun) dated and had sexual relations with the deceased (Kim Sae-ron) when she was a minor, and that pressure from the complainant's side to clear debts was the cause of the deceased's death."
The police further noted:
"After receiving a KakaoTalk chat screenshot from the bereaved family showing the deceased exchanging messages with a user named 'Unknown,' the suspect inserted the complainant’s photo into the 'Unknown' profile slot and changed the chat partner's name from 'Unknown' to the complainant's name to make it appear as though the conversation actually took place between the complainant and the deceased."
The police emphasized:
"Despite knowing well that the identity of the person the deceased chatted with was unverified, the suspect posted the manipulated KakaoTalk data to make it look like an actual conversation with the complainant, and repeatedly specified false facts, claiming that 'the complainant dated the deceased when she was a minor' and 'the complainant drove the deceased to her death.'"
Furthermore, they stated:
"The suspect broadcast multiple pieces of footage related to the complainant, including a photo taken with a mobile phone showing the complainant washing dishes at the deceased's residence, and exerted psychological pressure by stating, 'If you do not apologize to the bereaved family or state your position, we will additionally release private materials.' Therefore, substantial reasons exist to suspect that the crimes of stating false facts, defamation, and violation of the Information and Communications Network Act (defamation) were committed."
The police also pointed out:
"The suspect, who is currently referred to multiple investigations and trials, is likely well aware of the weight of criminal liability he will bear if he is additionally indicted for this case. There is a high probability that he may act unfaithfully in the criminal proceedings or attempt to flee to evade legal and economic disadvantages."
Till now i still cant stop thinking, why on earth was this dating rumor discussed on national TV news? (Channel A, KBS)
They even talked abt how soohyun wouldnt be announcing wedding news anytime soon bcs of his busy schedule like it was alr confirmed that he had a partner at that time 😭
And some still say this wasnt big & neither party released an official statement thru their agencies right away?
Logically, if either of them had another partner, it shouldve been addressed much faster to avoid future complications.
But well, believe what you wanna believe. i think everyone was hoping for the same thing back then ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I just finished listening to everything explained by Attorney Kho about Kim Soo-hyun—about why he chooses to stay silent, why he doesn’t defend himself publicly. There was a part where I truly cried, realizing that Soo-hyun really only has his mother, and he is always trying to protect her as well as the people closest to him—his staff, his team, even his family.
His silence is not because he is weak or giving up, but because of his sincere love, loyalty, and extraordinary caution to keep the people he cares about safe. Every word he utters, every action he takes, is carefully considered so as not to hurt anyone around him.
What’s even more touching is that, despite being in such a difficult situation, Soo-hyun never forgets his fans. He genuinely thinks of his fans, not for his career or popularity, but because he wants them to believe in the truth. His silence, his actions, and even his patience are all to ensure that those who always support him can understand and be confident in what is really happening.
Hearing all of this makes me appreciate even more how strong Soo-hyun’s heart is—he is not just an artist we admire on screen, but a human being with deep feelings, sincere loyalty, and the courage to stand firm in the middle of a storm—simply by being silent, by protecting those he loves, including us, his fans.🥹🫶🥀

Kim Soo Hyun is, to me, one of the kindest and brightest souls alive today. His warmth has always felt effortless—never loud, never for show—just the quiet sincerity of a man who treats people with respect no matter their status. It’s heartbreaking that someone like him, who built his career through discipline, humility, and hard work, could be targeted by slander and false accusations.
There is something deeply tragic about how society often treats the good-hearted. History shows that those who live with integrity and empathy frequently become the targets of envy, manipulation, and malice. It’s almost as if kindness invites cruelty from people who cannot stand to see goodness unshaken. The hate he has endured doesn’t come from truth; it comes from jealousy disguised as morality, gossip masked as justice.
What makes it worse is that such attacks leave lasting scars—reputation questioned, dignity bruised—while those who spread lies often walk away untouched. Kim Soo Hyun’s story reflects a much larger sickness in society: a culture that rewards noise and scandal over honesty and substance.
Yet, despite everything, he remains dignified, graceful, and strong. His resilience is proof that hate cannot dim a soul built on light. If anything, this pain has only revealed the depth of his character. People like Kim Soo Hyun remind us that no amount of slander can truly destroy the truth. The world needs more of his quiet strength to believe again in kindness.

[ENG] “Queen of Tears” Kim Soohyun — What the Industry Says About Him
With recent issues sparking curiosity about Queen of Tears star Kim Soohyun, we’ve gathered stories and comments from people in the industry who worked with him!
[...]
Stories from Set
"Soohyun sunbae immersed himself so intensely and snapped out so quickly, I thought he was a literal acting machine. Sometimes, right after a heavy scene, he’d suddenly go, ‘Hahaha~’ like nothing happened. He’s just a master of the craft."
“Filming was super tough, but the atmosphere was great thanks to all the cheerful actors. Kim Soohyun sunbae really kept spirits high, constantly cracking jokes. The filming was hard, but the set was fun.”
“Any adlibs you saw in the drama were all from the sunbaes! I forget which episode, but there’s a scene where they escape to Haein’s family’s place and eat together. When someone says, ‘You don’t treat me like that…’ the reaction on set was wild. Honestly, trying not to laugh was the hardest part. They trimmed a lot of adlibs from the final cut.”
“It had been a long time since I went to a shoot. I was cast for a minor role, but they said the reactions were important. I was thankful. It was freezing because it was an outdoor hospital scene. I had a cardigan over my patient gown, but the young actor beside me only had the gown. As soon as the director yelled 'Cut!', I wrapped them with my cardigan. Then suddenly, Kim Soohyun ran over and handed them a warm heat pack. He said, ‘Keep this in your pocket when we shoot.’ I was so touched, really moved.”
“As I was leaving after the shoot, I ran into Kim Soohyun again. He bowed and said, ‘Thank you for your hard work.’ It made me feel both grateful and fluttery. He looked even better in person. I hope the drama becomes a huge success!”
“When the waiting time got long, he brought over three chairs himself and said, ‘Please sit and rest.’ What a considerate king.”
What is Kim Soohyun, even?
After reading all these stories and behind-the-scenes tales, it really feels like Queen of Tears Kim Soohyun was Baek Hyunwoo in real life…
I miss Queen of Tears Kim Soohyun.
I hope this all blows over soon, and Disney+ Knock Off Kim Sungjoon comes quickly, too!
Ending this post with an adorable gif of Kim Soohyun from Tetsuko’s Room.

🌟 Tagline
#KimSoohyun
THIS IS WHERE WE RISE
#WeRiseWithKimSoohyun
In those first two weeks, when the world turned away and silence threatened to swallow everything,
Soohyun stood—quiet, steady—like a lone lighthouse in the dark.
He was nearly broken.
And still, he stayed. He endured.
Now, it’s our turn to speak.
They thought we would forget.
That noise would erase memory.
That truth would fade.
But we remembered.
Because truth matters.
We rise with light.
We rise for truth.
We are still here.
🔷 STEP 1: At 7:30 PM KST, retweet or quote-retweet the official Project RISE poster.
Say what they tried to silence.
Be honest. Be raw.
Be loud, if you must.
Let your voice cut through the fog like a lighthouse beam in the dark.
🔷 STEP 2: While waiting for Kim Soo Hyun, share a photo or moment of how you spend your favorite quiet time.
A peaceful walk, reading a book, a small habit that brings you comfort.
This is our gentle reminder:
It’s okay to pause.
When SNS feels loud or exhausting, your quiet moments might be the light someone else needs.
Support isn’t only about speaking up.
Sometimes, just being here—quiet and steady—is enough.
Like a light that never goes out.

Fellow Kim Soo Hyun fans and Supporters, Please Read Carefully.
It’s time we stop rewarding Studio Dragon’s manipulative games with our attention. Again and again, they’ve shown us they’re not here to uplift Kim Soo Hyun,they’re here to exploit the power of our fandom for their own benefit.
Every time they’re starved for clicks, they pull the same trick: cut him out of a production, erase his contributions, or drag his name into controversy knowing full well it will provoke an emotional response from us. Why? Because they’ve studied our loyalty. They know our love runs deep. They know we’ll quote, comment, and share out of anger or heartbreak. But here's the truth:
Every quote. Every comment. Every repost. Gives them the traffic they crave.
We must understand the strategy behind their silence when Kim Soo Hyun is shining… and their noise when they need attention. It’s not genuine support. It’s clout-chasing at its worst. They use his name and our voices to boost their engagement while disrespecting the very man who gave them record-breaking success.
As a united fandom, we’ve already blocked them,and we encourage everyone else to do the same. Stop commenting. Stop quoting. Stop feeding their page with our energy. Let them feel what it’s like without our traffic and engagement.
From today onward, we fight this the smart way: silence, boycott, and mass blocking. Let them feel the weight of a fandom that refuses to be used.
We’re not just fans. We’re protectors.
And we know our worth,and Kim Soo Hyun’s too.

📢 IMPORTANT REMINDER TO ALL KIM SOO HYUN FANS & SUPPORTERS 📢
This is the second time we are issuing this warning:
DO NOT interact with Kwon Young-chan’s posts on any social media platforms.
He is actively trying to provoke fans to leave comments so he can collect them as evidence for his court hearing on October 25, 2025. He wants to paint Kim Soo Hyun’s supporters as aggressive and use that as a defense for his own unacceptable behavior.
⚠️ No replies. No comments. No quotes. No shares.Even angry reactions will help him. Let him rot in silence.
We know it’s hard, but we must be smarter than him.Let’s not give him exactly what he’s looking for.
💡 Stay focused. Stay silent. Let the law do the talking.
💥 Truth stands stronger when we don’t fall into traps.
