2026.06.06 Attorney @khosangrock YT update

[EN] Last year, even before I became Kim Soohyun’s legal representative, I had been commenting publicly on this case from the outside. The evidence fabrication by Gaseyeon was crude, and if one listened carefully, it seemed highly likely that Kim Soohyun was telling the truth.

Many lawyer YouTubers fueled an atmosphere that resembled a witch hunt and trial by public opinion. I sharply criticized them because I believed legal professionals had lost their way and needed to be called out.

I do not think Kim Soohyun’s March press conference was perfect. I also felt that it lacked sufficient explanation to earn the public’s trust.

However, after many twists and turns, I became his legal representative in early September, five months after that press conference. I then confirmed that evidence existed to support the truth. Some materials struck me as meaningful from a fresh perspective different from that of the existing legal team, but there were also many materials that the previous legal team had already deemed significant and had submitted to the police.

Even so, neither the actor nor the company disclosed those materials publicly. They wanted to avoid causing harm to anyone as much as possible.

That is why the press conference could not help but feel incomplete. To persuade the general public, it might have been better to disclose all available evidence and have lawyers explain everything logically.

But Kim Soohyun chose not to do that. Despite having suffered tremendous harm, he never said anything that could damage the reputation of the deceased. Nor did he say a single word that could harm people working in the entertainment industry or others connected to the matter.

That press conference was never intended to convince everyone. That is why he said he would not ask people to believe him, he would prove it.

Even in that situation, however, Kim Soohyun did not abandon hope that there would be at least a small number of people willing to trust him and wait for the truth. He likely wanted to tell those people that over the past 18 years he had not done the terrible things he was being accused of and that he had not deceived them.

I believe that press conference was his final message to the fans who had trusted, relied on, and loved him for so many years.

After many twists and turns, he disappeared from public view following that March 31 press conference. I did not meet him until much later.

In early September, after becoming his attorney, I reviewed the materials. I realized there was a great deal that could be said. Looking back, perhaps I misunderstood the investigative authorities, but at the time I feared that unless we corrected public opinion to some degree, the authorities might not act. That fear weighed heavily on me and on the younger attorneys who trusted me and joined this case.

As I reviewed evidence, conducted interviews, redefined the case, and prepared arguments, I began to think we could save him.

I will never forget our first meeting. He bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle and repeatedly said, “Thank you, thank you.”

My heart ached. I held his hand, patted him on the back, and made a promise. I told him that we had reviewed everything and that we would clear his name completely, leaving not a speck behind. Normally, a lawyer should never say such a thing. Cases are living things, and no matter how hard one works, proof can sometimes fail.

But I felt I had to make that promise. Standing before someone trapped in unimaginable hardship, it felt cowardly to leave myself an escape route by suggesting that we might not ultimately succeed.

People say lawyers sometimes do work similar to doctors who save lives. This was that kind of case for me. I felt I had to do everything possible to save him.

I promised to respect the actor’s wish not to harm others as much as possible. Beyond that, the company agreed to allow me discretion in public advocacy and expressing opinions about the case.

With six separate lawsuits from advertisers already filed against him, the existing legal team focused on the civil cases while my team took charge of the criminal matters.

After careful deliberation, we spent sleepless nights preparing our first public defense materials and released them on September 30, including some sensitive information. Because I needed a method that would allow me to do my job without harming the actor, I chose to release them through an unofficial channel, my YouTube community page. I believed it was the best place to exercise the discretion I had been given and persuade the public.

That was how I began a public defense unlike anything I had ever heard of in an ongoing investigation.

I also posted the material on Threads, where I had only maintained an account at the time.

And that is how my relationship with Kim Soohyun’s fans began.

At first, it was not pleasant.

Most fans reacted reasonably to my disclosure of portions of the actor’s military diary letters, assuming that both the company and the actor had consented and trusting the judgment of professionals. But as always, the loudest voices criticized me.

Some demanded to know how I dared reveal such private materials. That night alone, I received more than a dozen missed international calls from China.

That experience shaped my attitude toward Kim Soohyun’s fans. To save the actor and fulfill my responsibilities, I felt I had to be strict and firm. Sometimes I had to express anger, criticize, and speak bluntly.

A lawyer representing Kim Soohyun scolding, blocking, and embarrassing Kim Soohyun’s own fans, what sense does that make?

I did not do it because I wanted to. I felt I had to. A person needed saving, and I believed that responsibility rested on me.

I feared that if my sincerity did not reach them, we would ultimately fail to persuade the public. So I explained the situation in detail and shared my reasoning.

Then I received what felt like miraculous help.

To persuade both the public and investigators, arguments must be intuitive and easy to understand. Regardless of differences in language and expression, they must possess the power to convince people clearly. In that respect, public advocacy and legal advocacy are not so different.

I found inspiration in comments under articles and gained countless ideas from the writings of fans who fought against haters. I immediately incorporated those ideas into our arguments and searched for evidence that supported them.

These fans were the very people spreading the truth, resisting hatred, and serving as a breakwater protecting the actor.

Witnessing the power that comes from genuinely caring about someone was almost a cultural shock for me.

I had never been a devoted fan of any celebrity and had little understanding of fandom culture.

Yet Kim Soohyun’s fans were experiencing the same pain as the actor. They remained in a state of shock and treated the search for truth as if it were their own responsibility.

There was no money in it. No one was rewarding them. Yet they worked day and night to prove Kim Soohyun’s innocence and raise their voices.

What I saw was not blind loyalty or unconditional defense. I saw people seeking facts, trying not to cross lines, and sincerely hoping that one person would not be destroyed. Because they were fans, they were more careful, more patient, and more steadfast.

That is the kind of strength that comes from caring about someone.

These fans sent flowers and handwritten letters even to me, a lawyer who merely represented Kim Soohyun, constantly expressing gratitude. Why? Because they hoped and prayed that I would continue doing my utmost for him.

I realized that, through me, some of the wounds they had accumulated over the previous six months were beginning to heal.

I began to feel not only gratitude but also a sense of apology toward Kim Soohyun’s fans.

Where is the boundary? What is public and what is private?

The promise I made while shaking Kim Soohyun’s hand to save him no matter what had gradually become a promise to his fans as well.

And I wanted very much to keep that promise.

I believe today’s outcome would not have been possible without their efforts and sincerity.

---

A Message to Kim Soohyun’s Fans

Thank you to everyone who believed in Kim Soohyun and waited for him, and who also chose to trust and support me as his representative.

As I have admitted many times, I am not a perfect person.

I once said that the way I handled this case, beginning with the publication of portions of his diary letters on September 30, was unprecedented not only in my own experience but perhaps in the history of Korea’s judicial system.

To some, I may appear to be a lawyer seeking fame, acting as a spokesperson for attention. Others may see me as self-unaware, suffering from celebrity syndrome, and craving the spotlight.

But I believe such attacks can only hurt temporarily. As long as there are people who understand my sincerity, just as the actor ultimately proved himself, I too will remain in the place where I have always belonged.

Over the past eight months as Kim Soohyun’s representative, I have had many shortcomings and made mistakes. Regardless of the size of my role, the responsibility and pressure I felt were enormous.

So many people listened to me, tried to understand what I was trying to do, and stayed with me through the process.

I am deeply grateful for that.

Through this experience, I witnessed how much comfort and how many good memories one actor had given to people, and how those feelings could come together in a healthy way to protect that person in return.

As a lawyer, and also as someone who likes Kim Soohyun himself, I sincerely thank all of you.

Your support and trust gave me tremendous strength. I will continue to speak with greater care and responsibility so that those feelings are never distorted.

Thank you for everything.

And while I believe my role will be different going forward, I hope you will continue to stand together with the same desire to support Kim Soohyun.

FORWARD WITH HOPE
#SoohyunEndured

As accountability moves forward and legal proceedings continue, we mark an important chapter in a journey defined by resilience, patience, and unwavering belief in the truth.

Over the past year, Kim Soohyun has faced intense public scrutiny, speculation, and criticism. Through it all, he remained composed and dignified, allowing facts and the legal process to take their course.

This moment is a reminder of how easily harmful labels can be weaponized in the digital age. Many were quick to condemn, quick to assume, and quick to repeat accusations as though they were established facts. Yet truth requires evidence, not outrage. It demands patience, not mob judgment.

The truth endured and brighter days lie ahead.

Together, we continue to stand with Kim Soohyun, stronger than ever.
、
Now that we've come this far, I hope that lawyer will continue to move forward in defending Kim Soohyun. We want the fandom, the legal team, and everyone to unite and defend KimSoohyun.

Hi TP for May 26- May 29

TRUTH PREVAILS
In a world where narratives spread faster than facts, truth often takes the longest path — but it endures.
Now, with the official investigation results released and the allegations confirmed to be fabricated and defamatory, what remains is not the noise that once surrounded him, but the strength and dignity Kim Soo-hyun carried through it all. What was intended to break him only revealed the depth of his character.

Global fans across different countries and cultures stand united today not only in support, but in relief, pride, and conviction. Because those who chose patience over assumption and truth over sensationalism understood one thing from the very beginning: Character always reveals itself in time.

And to everyone who stood beside him from the start — thank you. Thank you for remaining steadfast during uncertainty. Thank you for choosing discernment when judgment was easier. Thank you for protecting truth even before it was confirmed.

But our fight is not over yet.
As we await the final decision on May 26 and hope to see real accountability through appropriate legal consequences, we will continue to stand firmly for truth and justice, and we will await the rise of Kim Soo-hyun once again.

Your support was never built on trends or public opinion. It was built on trust, loyalty, and belief in the person he has consistently shown himself to be.

[악플러 3차 고발 경고문]

김수현 팬연합은 김수현 배우를 향한 지속적인 악의적 비방, 허위사실 유포, 명예훼손 및 인격 모독 행위를 더 이상 묵과할 수 없다고 판단하였습니다.

이에 따라 이미 1차, 2차 악플러 고소를 진행하였으며, 현재 관련 법적 절차가 진행 중입니다.

현재 가해자 김세의가 구속되며 김수현 배우의 억울함과 진실이 점차 드러나고 있음에도 불구하고, 일부에서는 여전히 악의적인 비방과 허위사실 유포, 인신공격성 댓글 작성 등을 지속하고 있습니다.

이에 팬연합은 추가적인 악성 게시글 및 댓글 작성 행위에 대해 끝까지 책임을 물을 것이며, 제3차 고발 또한 진행할 예정임을 강력히 경고합니다.

익명 뒤에 숨어 있어도 모든 기록은 남습니다. 순간의 감정이나 가벼운 장난으로 작성한 글일지라도 누군가에게는 돌이킬 수 없는 상처와 피해가 될 수 있습니다.

부디 더 이상의 악의적 비방과 허위사실 유포를 즉각 중단해주시기 바랍니다.

[ENG] #KimSoohyun’s attorney, Ko Sangrok, on today’s MBC Morning Call.

⸻

Q. This is Today Morning Call. Kim Seui, who ran the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute, has been arrested. The charges are spreading false information related to actor Kim Soohyun, and manipulating the recording files and messenger conversations that were presented as evidence. Through Kim Soohyun’s lawyer, we will hear about the key issues of this case and the tasks ahead. Welcome.

Q. Gaseyeon’s Kim Seui arrested. What exactly were the charges?

As has been widely reported, the charges include defamation by stating false facts, threats, unauthorized distribution of recorded material, and violation of the stalking punishment law. The defamation part is the most important here. The main point is that actor Kim Soohyun had a long-term relationship with the late Kim Saeron since she was a minor. And that through his agency, he pressured the late person to repay a debt, leading her to her death. False information of this kind was spread, and to support it, KakaoTalk conversations and the late person’s voice, among other evidence, were allegedly fabricated.

Q. Some analysts say it is unusual to be arrested on defamation charges like these. Is there a reason it went as far as arrest?

First of all, the criminal charges are serious and the damage is very great. And actually, the most important factor among arrest conditions is the concern of destroying evidence. This case is not just a concern of destroying evidence. The very core of the crime is evidence fabrication. It is a crime where new evidence was created to support false information. Also, because there are multiple people involved, there is a possibility of them aligning their stories, so the court seems to have judged that the risk of destroying evidence is high. That appears to be how it was determined. It may be difficult to ask specifically and in detail because of secondary harm, but there is a charge that Kim Seui fabricated audio related to Kim Saeron.

[EN] Full Official Statement from Goldmedalist, agency representing Kim Soohyun

Hello, this is Goldmedalist.

We would like to inform you regarding the multiple criminal complaints and accusations filed by Kim Soohyun and our company against Kim Seui of Garosero Research Institute.

As a result of the investigation, it was confirmed that the various allegations and pieces of evidence raised by Garosero Research Institute against Kim Soohyun were false. In particular, the KakaoTalk conversations of the deceased that were disclosed during the press conference were found to have been fabricated and altered from conversations involving a third party unrelated to Kim Soohyun. It was also confirmed that the deceased’s voice recordings were manipulated materials generated using AI technology.

Accordingly, due to the seriousness of the offenses and charges, including violations of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation through the dissemination of false information), violations of the Act on Punishment of Stalking Crimes, violations of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (distribution of illegally filmed material and coercion involving such material), and criminal intimidation, the court issued an arrest warrant for Kim Seui.

We sincerely appreciate the efforts of the investigative authorities for uncovering the truth based on objective evidence.

At a press conference one year ago, Kim Soohyun promised “I won’t ask you to trust me. I will make sure to prove it.”

The past year for Kim Soohyun has been devoted solely to keeping that promise. At last, through due legal process and a thorough investigation, the truth has been established.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who believed in and waited for Kim Soohyun throughout this time.
