[FULL STATEMENT] Gold Medalist: The Truth Has Finally Been Proven Through Law and Investigation
โHello. This is Gold Medalist.
We would like to inform you of the following regarding the multiple complaints and criminal accusations filed by #KimSoohyun and our company against Kim Seui of Garo Sero Research Institute.
As a result of the investigation, it was confirmed that the various suspicions and evidence raised by the Garo Sero Research Institute side against Kim Soohyun were not true. In particular, it was revealed that the deceasedโs KakaoTalk conversations released through the press conference had been altered and manipulated from conversations with another person unrelated to Kim Soohyun, and it was also confirmed that the deceasedโs voice was manipulated material created using AI technology.
Accordingly, due to the seriousness of the case and the charges including violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation through spreading false information), violation of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Stalking Crimes, violation of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (distribution of illegally filmed material using cameras and coercion using filmed material), and threats, the court issued an arrest warrant for Kim Seui.
We deeply thank the investigative authorities for their efforts in revealing the truth based on objective evidence.
At the press conference one year ago, Kim Soohyun promised, โI will not ask you to believe me. I will make sure to prove it.โ
The past year for Kim Soohyun was a time spent only to keep that promise. At last, through the procedures set by the law and a thorough investigation, he was able to prove the truth.
We sincerely thank everyone who trusted and waited for Kim Soohyun all this time.โ

Sulliโs fans have also released a statement calling out her biological brother for exploiting her memory and spreading false rumors about her close celebrity friends. They noted he did the exact same thing 5 years ago for clout before cutting ties. Let her rest in peace. ๐๏ธjebal!!!
"Hello, we are fans of the late Sulli.
Recently, we have become aware that many articles and controversies are arising in relation to our (late) Sulli. To be honest, we do not even want her to be mentioned in this kind of situation, and we feel extremely upset about what her older brother wants, and how he keeps causing harm by repeatedly bringing up other celebrities. Therefore, we would like to address and examine the various current controversies.
First, 5 years ago, her older brother similarly used the (late) Sulli to mention other celebrities and draw "aggro" (bait attention), which caused a controversy. However, he apologized back then, saying it was all done just to get attention, stated that he had cut ties with Sulli a long time ago, and went into hiding.
[https://t.co/ZZF2AxVNij] If you look at this article, the entire breakdown of that incident is detailed. Yet, seeing him repeat the exact same thing again now is truly incomprehensible, and we sincerely hope he stops doing this.
Second, regarding the script for [the movie] Real, a rumor is spreading that another celebrity delivered it, but you will know the truth if you look at the official statement regarding this incident, which confirms that the director of Real delivered the script to the agency. Furthermore, the older brother's claim itself simply does not hold up/make sense.
Third, you are also spreading a rumor that another celebrity recommended a psychiatric hospital, but please stop. That psychiatric hospital was an institution connected to her former agency, which is a fact you will realize if you look into it. We don't know if it is appropriate to say this right now, but the celebrity you mentioned is someone who looked after our Sulli incredibly well and truly cherished her, so we are deeply grateful to them. Please do not tarnish that friendship.
Fourth, regarding the (late) Sulli's dating life, we believe that bringing up another celebrity and talking about her past relationships shows an attitude that completely disregards the deceased. Our Sulli would not want this. We believe this is behavior that a biological brother absolutely should not engage in.
We want to ask the older brother: What on earth is your goal in constantly bringing up the deceased, and what do you stand to gain by causing harm to other celebrities by mentioning them?
Lastly, we do not want the deceased to keep being brought up in this situation, and we hope that the spreading of malicious comments and false information regarding this matter will be prohibited and stopped."

[UPDATE] Police believe that Kim Seui acted this way even though he knew the claims were false, in order to gain public attention.
Since March last year, Kim Seui had been making these claims while holding press conferences together with the family of Kim Saeron.
After investigating the case for over a year, the Gangnam Police Station concluded that, as claimed by Kim Soohyunโs side, Kim Seui manipulated the audio recording using AI.
As a result, police applied multiple charges including violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, defamation, threats, and attempted coercion, and requested an arrest warrant on the 14th.
This came just two days after Gangnam Police Station announced a reform measure on the 12th, replacing all five heads of its investigation and criminal divisions amid controversy over misconduct in the investigation.
After securing custody of Kim Seui, police plan to confirm the detailed process of how he pressured Kim Soohyunโs side through YouTube channels and other methods.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Kim Seui, the head of Garosero Research Institute, who is accused of spreading FALSE INFORMATION related to actor #KimSoohyun and damaging his reputation.
On the 26th, Chief Judge Bu Dongsik of the Seoul Central District Court, who is in charge of warrant reviews, held a suspect questioning before arrest (warrant review hearing) for Kim Seui, who is accused of defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act and violating the Sexual Violence Punishment Act, and then issued the arrest warrant. Judge Bu Dongsik said, โThere is a concern about destruction of evidence and risk of escape.โ

**[Exclusive] Prosecutors seek arrest warrant for Kim Se-ui over alleged defamation of Kim Soo-hyun โฆ โRisk of extreme action, detention necessaryโ**
The Seoul Central District Prosecutorsโ Office has requested an arrest warrant for Kim Se-ui, the head of the YouTube channel *Garo Sero Institute* (โGaSeYeonโ), 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 Prosecutorsโ 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-uiโs 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-hyunโs 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:
> โWithout 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 complainantโs side over debt repayment caused the deceasedโs death.โ
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-hyunโs photo was allegedly inserted into the KakaoTalk profile section.
* The conversation partnerโs name was allegedly changed from โUnknownโ 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-ronโs 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
