[FULL TEXT] MBC Straight — The Expose of Garosero Institute.
⸻
Kim Seui, the head of the YouTube channel Garosero Institute, had an arrest warrant requested against him on charges including defaming actor Kim Soohyun in connection with the late actress Kim Saeron’s death. He strongly denied all charges, calling the arrest warrant itself a complete fraud.
“The arrest warrant request is clearly packed with outright false facts. I admit nothing. This is an intentional and hastily thrown-together arrest warrant request.”
The police concluded that Kim Seui’s conduct was extremely poor in character, noting in particular that he manipulated KakaoTalk conversations that had been exchanged with Kim Saeron, and that he publicly released a voice recording made with AI as though it were real, without any verification.
Q. “Did you properly verify the tipster from the Garosero side?”
Kim Seui: “Of course.”
Q. “How did you carry out that verification?”
Kim Seui: “That verification was done by the National Forensic Service.”
Q. “No. Did you do it yourself, by any chance?”
Kim Seui: “We, at our, at Gaseyeon, on our own, this…What is your name?”
Q. “I am Lim Myungchan.”
Kim Seui: “Yes, yes. So, MBC, then. Yes. Right now you can clearly see that SBS and MBC are…”
Q. “I am asking whether you properly verified the tip.”
Kim Seui: “I will take it as our verification having been done by the National Forensic Service.”
However, though Kim Seui claimed the verification had been done by the National Forensic Service, the entity that actually requested the verification was the police, and the National Forensic Service’s conclusion was that it could not be verified because the original was not available.
Kim Seui was confident the arrest warrant would be rejected, but the court, finding there was a risk of evidence destruction and flight, issued the warrant. He also filed for a review of the legality of his arrest, arguing the detention decision was unjust, but the court rejected that as well and maintained the detention.
Yu Hyunjae, Professor of Mass Communication at Sogang University said:
“Beyond fake news, now I see they actually manufacture things. This person has shown very clearly just how far someone who has given up all moral standards can go in terms of the scenario they will run, and the level of crime they can commit. So I believe that to the extent society allows, an extremely heavy punishment must be imposed.”
The Garosero Institute YouTube channel has 1 million subscribers and has been making money through provocative claims and videos targeting politicians, celebrities, and other public figures. In the process, countless people have had their privacy and personal dignity violated and suffered serious harm. Because of this, the Garosero Institute has been widely condemned as a social weapon.
[FULL STATEMENT] Gold Medalist: The Truth Has Finally Been Proven Through Law and Investigation
“Hello. 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 deceased’s 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 deceased’s 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, “I will not ask you to believe me. I will make sure to prove it.”
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.”

[EXCLUSIVE] Prosecutors seek arrest warrant for Kim Seui over ‘defamation of #KimSoohyun’ charges - “Concern over extreme choice, detention needed”
Kim Seui, the head of Gaseyeon, who is in a legal dispute with actor Kim Soohyun after broadcasting claims that the late Kim Saeron dated him since she was a minor, will appear in court on May 26 to receive a suspect questioning before arrest.
According to this paper’s reporting, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office on the 19th requested an arrest warrant, saying, “The reasons for requesting an arrest warrant against the suspect (Kim Seui, Gaseyeon representative) in the case of violation of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (distribution of filmed materials using cameras, etc.) are considered sufficient.”
The warrant review hearing for Kim Seui will take place on May 26 at 10:30 a.m. at the Seoul Central District Court.
Earlier, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station, which investigated the case after Kim Soohyun’s complaint, listed these reasons for detention:
△ seriousness of the crime
△ risk of repeated offenses
△ concern over destruction of evidence and escape
△ concern over harm toward the victim and important witnesses.
In the arrest warrant request submitted to prosecutors on May 14, police stated:
“Without properly checking the truth, the suspect repeatedly claimed through YouTube broadcasts and press conferences that the complainant (Kim Soohyun) dated and had sexual relations with the deceased (Kim Saeron) when she was a minor, and that pressure from the complainant’s side over debt repayment caused the deceased’s death.”
“After receiving KakaoTalk chat capture materials from the bereaved family showing conversations between the deceased and someone labeled ‘Unknown,’ the suspect inserted the complainant’s photo into the KakaoTalk profile section of ‘Unknown’ and changed the conversation partner’s name from ‘Unknown’ to the complainant, making it appear as if the chats were real conversations between the complainant and the deceased.”
“Even while fully aware that the identity of the person the deceased had spoken with was not confirmed, the suspect uploaded manipulated KakaoTalk materials to make them appear to be real conversations with the complainant. In addition, during a press conference, he played a voice file of the deceased allegedly altered with AI and claimed false facts, saying, ‘The deceased first had sexual relations with the complainant during the winter vacation of her second year of middle school, and the complainant’s side tried to persuade the informant of the recording file by offering 4 billion won in exchange for the file.’”
“The suspect broadcast several materials related to the complainant, including a photo allegedly showing the complainant washing dishes at the deceased’s home, and applied psychological pressure by saying, ‘If there is no apology or statement to the bereaved family, additional private materials will be revealed.’ There is considerable reason to suspect crimes including spreading false information, defamation, and violation of the Information and Communications Network Act (defamation).”
“If the suspect, who is already involved in multiple investigations and trials, is additionally indicted in this case, he is likely very aware of the weight of the criminal responsibility he may face. There is a strong possibility that he may act uncooperatively in criminal procedures or attempt to flee in order to avoid legal and financial disadvantages.”
“Furthermore, the suspect is expected to be under considerable pressure due to participation in political rallies and protests, along with the various economic and social controversies surrounding him. If he is indicted and put on trial in this case, his psychological support system could collapse.”
Nanunuod at nakikinig ang mga kabataan. We see what is happening, and we will remember the decisions and actions being made today.
Darating ang 2028, and many people will use their voices and votes to demand better leadership and accountability for the country.
these are life lessons that must be taken ✍🏻 life isn't all about numbers and events; do not use big words and sentences, nobody can predict what will happen to them ✍🏻 may best luck always be with you KJW and KSH 🙏🏻 have a good weekend 🍀🍀 #kimjiwon#kimsoohyun
MS. ODETTE KHAN WINS BEST ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE FOR BAR BOYS: AFTER SCHOOL
THE BAR BOYS CAST AND CREW IS SO PROUD OF YOU!
#BarBoysAfterSchool#MMFF2025
Character feedback sa BBAS:
1. Rocco Nacino’s “Torran Garcia” became the symbol for passing the torch. His transformation from the fratboy he was in law school to the mentor who refused to agree with his brods because of his principles was a full circle moment—‘yun naman talaga si Torran kahit sa prequel, may paninindigan. ALSO HELLO??? HE WON AT LIFE!!!
2. CHRISTIAN CARLSON PAKSHET KA HAHAHAHA HIGH IQ, LOW EQ ANG DATINGAN 😭 SAMPUNG TAON NA PERO SOBRANG PRIVILEGED THINKING PA RIN 😭 JASMINE WAS SOOOO RIGHT TO PUT HIM IN HIS PLACE HAHAHAHAHA
3. Erik. I’m so glad he never forgot why he was in law school before. He stuck with his principles. Hindi niya hinayaang baguhin siya ng propesyon niya. If Torran got Justice Hernandez’s professor vocation, Erik got the pro bono litigation. And always always expect talaga na Erik is the antidote to Christian lol.
4. Josh is the representation of privilege and second chances in the new generation of lawyers. Hindi niya nagets yung pinaglalaban ni Tricia at first kasi hindi niya naman nararanasan. He also has the money that Arvin doesn’t have. However, just like CJ, what pushed him to do Law School was an event in his life that gave him the aggression to pursue the noble profession.
5. Tricia. Para sa mga Queer people na nasa Law School at Legal Profession na patuloy na pinipiling magsilbi sa bayan kahit na tayo mismo ay pinagkakaitan ng karapatan. A confident queer character.
6. CJ represented redirection. Marami ring kwentong ganito sa Law School. ‘Yung wala sa plano pero napunta sa legal profession dahil kung walang gagawa, sila ang gagawa. Felt na felt. And THANK YOU, BBAS for representing the people in the mountains, the indigenous, the marginalized.
7. Arvin. PUCHA. Para sa bawat working law students na walang ibang ginawa kundi gumising. Para sa bawat minuto ng tulog na nawawala. Para sa bawat sakripisyo. Grabe iyak ko sa’yo. Nakita ko ‘yung mga kaklase ko na nagttrabaho. Sabi nga ni Josh, “Swerte ako may pera ako” pero marami sa Law School ay katulad ni Arvin. Sa bawat lugmok ni Arvin, naaalala ko mga kaklase kong kailangan kumayod sa umaga tapos pasok sa klase sa gabi o hindi kaya ay pasok sa klase sa gabi tapos diretso sa night shift. Naaalala ko yung mga kaklase kong may mga binubuhay na pamilya. Heck, I even remembered the days na I was working while studying during Junior year in LS. Tipong maswerte na kung may apat na oras kang tulog. Ang lunch break ay para sa aral o kaya sa idlip. Kakayanin mo na rin matulog sa hallway habang naghihintay ng prof. Sobrang nakakapagod, nakakapanghina pero kailangan.
Ps. OO MATAGAL TALAGA SA FISCAL LEVEL OH MY GOD SOBRANG REAL NA REAL.
