Balihow – Following their initial complaint filed on March 20, 2025, against the Garo Sero Research Institute, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, GOLD MEDALIST, issued a supplementary statement today, Monday, March 24, 2025.
In their report from March 20, 2025, GOLD MEDALIST accused Garo Sero of violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, specifically concerning the dissemination of illegally obtained recordings, after a photo allegedly showing actor Kim Soo Hyun with his lower body exposed surfaced online.
However, in their most recent statement released on March 24, 2025, GOLD MEDALIST addressed further actions taken by the Garo Sero Research Institute.
“The day after we filed the complaint, on March 21st, the Garo Sero Research Institute once again uploaded the same photograph during a live broadcast on their YouTube channel,” stated the agency.

“This behavior constitutes yet another criminal act and demonstrates a blatant disregard for the law and investigative authorities. It is an unthinkable act,” they added in the statement.
Furthermore, GOLD MEDALIST alleges that Garo Sero also threatened Disney+ concerning Kim Soo Hyun’s latest Korean drama on the platform, “Knock Off.”
“During live broadcasts on March 21st and 22nd, they also mentioned the Disney+ original drama ‘Knock Off’,” Kim Soo Hyun’s agency stated.
“In which actor Kim Soo Hyun appears, and threatened that if Disney+ did not cancel the release of ‘Knock Off,’ they would release a video featuring Kim Soo Hyun,” they continued.

The agency also denounced the Garo Sero Research Institute for alleged false threats.
“The Garo Sero Research Institute made insinuations that sounded as if actor Kim Soo Hyun had committed a crime similar to the Nth Room case and claimed there was video footage of it,” they wrote.
“Like all their previous claims, this is completely false, and of course, no such video exists. Their actions constitute a serious criminal offense that cannot be overlooked, and we have immediately taken additional legal action against them,” GOLD MEDALIST continued.
This case originated when Garo Sero uploaded a statement from someone claiming to be the aunt of the late actress Kim Sae Ron.
According to a phone conversation between the supposed aunt and Kim Se Ui, Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun allegedly began dating in 2015.
At that time, Kim Sae Ron was 15 years old, and Kim Soo Hyun was 27 years old. The relationship purportedly lasted for six years until 2021.
However, due to the lack of acknowledgement, Garo Sero has reportedly been releasing supporting photos daily as evidence of the alleged relationship.
