Actor Won Bin has drawn a line against the claims made by the YouTube channel ‘Garosero Research Institute’ (abbreviated as ‘GaSeyeon’).He took the unusual step of stating that he only attended the funeral for the late Kim Sae-ron and was not involved in anything else.

Won Bin’s agency, Eden Nine, told Donga.com on the 9th, “We only attended the funeral to mourn the deceased(Kim Sae-ron)and had no other involvement.” This is their position after Won Bin was mentioned in the ‘Ga Se-yeon’ revelation video.They drew a line against unnecessary connections being made.

Earlier, ‘Ga Se-yeon’ resumed the revelations about Kim Soo-hyun, which had been quiet for a while.The content was somewhat shocking.It was the release of an audio file claiming that Kim Sae-ron had been sexually abused by Kim Soo-hyun when she was a minor.It also claimed that the person who provided the audio file was attacked in the United States.Won Bin was also mentioned in the process.

Kim Soo-hyun and his agency Gold Medalist have announced that they will take legal action against these ‘Gaseyeon’ claims.The legal representative of Kim Soo Hyun and his agency Gold Medalist, LKB & Partners, claimed on the 7th,“ ‘Ga Se Yeon’ claimed through a press conference(title: [Emergency Broadcast]Press Conference to Reveal ‘Kim Soo Hyun’s Serious Crimes ‘) that they had obtained a recorded file with the late Kim Sae Ron.However, the recorded file in question is completely forged, and Gold Medalist has determined that the recorded file in question was created using AI, etc.The person who delivered the recorded file in question to’ Ga Se Yeon ‘(hereinafter referred to as the’ recorded file deliverer ‘) is a scammer who approached Gold Medalist, saying that there was a recorded file in which the late Kim Sae Ron made favorable remarks about Kim Soo Hyun.The person who delivered the recorded file sent Gold Medalist a portion of the recorded file containing the late Kim Sae Ron’s voice and demanded money.The recorded file in question was a manipulated version of the late Kim Sae Ron’s voice, and Gold Medalist did not accept any of the requests of the person who delivered the recorded file.”

In doing so, they stated, “The person who delivered the recording file had no connection to the late Kim Sae-ron, and when the scam against Gold Medalist didn’t work, they conspired with ‘Ga Se-yeon’ to release a forged recording file of the late Kim Sae-ron.As previously stated, Gold Medalist has determined that the person who delivered the recording file forged the recording file containing the late Kim Sae-ron’s voice using AI, etc.We are currently conducting a technical verification of this and will share the results as soon as they are available.”

Regarding the photo that ‘Gaseyeon’ claimed was an ‘assault photo,’ “Gaseyeon claimed at a press conference that the person who sent the recorded file was attacked at the instigation of Gold Medalist or Attorney Ko Sang-rok, and released the ‘assault photo.’ ‘Gaseyeon’s claim is an absolutely unacceptable false claim, and one that is difficult to accept even from a common sense perspective.Furthermore, the ‘assault photo’ that ‘Gaseyeon’ released is a photo that can be immediately confirmed through an Internet search, and ‘Gaseyeon’ and the person who sent the recorded file are claiming that the photo they downloaded from the Internet is an ‘assault photo.’”

Regarding future responses, they said, “This press conference by ‘Ga Se-yeon’ is another fabrication by ‘Ga Se-yeon’ to commit cyber terrorism against Kim Soo-hyun, who was cornered by false defamation, stalking, cyber sex crimes, and evidence fabrication against Kim Soo-hyun.Gold Medalist is astonished by this press conference by ‘Ga Se-yeon.’ This press conference by ‘Ga Se-yeon’ is conclusive evidence that numerous claims made by ‘Ga Se-yeon’ so far are false and fabricated.The above-mentioned acts by ‘Ga Se-yeon’ are a new type of crime using AI, etc., and a serious criminal act that attempts to destroy Kim Soo-hyun’s character based on forged evidence, and she will definitely receive an appropriate punishment.”

Meanwhile, the gold medalist said, “We plan to immediately sue and indict Gaseyeon for violation of the Stalking Punishment Act and the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection(defamation)regarding this ‘Gaseyeon’ press conference, and we will do our best to ensure that Gaseyeon is punished in accordance with the law and principles through close cooperation with the investigative authorities.”

On the 9th, LKBN Partners released an additional statement.LKBN Partners stated, “Gold Medalist and Kim Soo-hyun today additionally filed a complaint and indictment against Kim Se-ui, the operator of ‘Gaseyeon,’ for violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc.(defamation)and the Act on the Punishment, etc.of Stalking Crimes, and against Kim Sae-ron’s bereaved family for violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc.(defamation).”

LKBN Partners stated, “As you know, Kim Se-ui spread the absurd false information at the press conference on the 7th, such as ‘Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron dated since middle school, and Kim Sae-ron had sex for the first time during winter vacation of her second year of middle school, and there is a recording file to support this,’ ‘Kim Soo-hyun’s side tried to persuade the informant who gave them the recording file by offering 4 billion won to hand over the recording file, and when the informant refused, they attempted to kill the informant through two killers.’” “If we look at Kim Se-ui’s statements in detail, ‘Exactly five days before the crime, a Korean and a Chinese killer entered the country through JFK Airport in New York late on a Friday night,’ ‘This case is being investigated by the FBI, not the New Jersey State Police where the incident occurred,’ ‘The informant was stabbed nine times in the neck with a knife while getting off the car in the parking lot on his way to work,’ and ‘The Korean killer is Lee Han-gu, born in 1992, from Jeollanam-do.He stated,” One of them is a person with an address in Gwangyang City, and the other is a Chinese national of Korean descent,” “The killer was arrested by the FBI, and the FBI confirmed that there were call records with people related to Lee Jin-ho on the killer’s cell phone just before the crime,” and “This is clearly a case of instigation of murder.” These are claims that are difficult to accept even when viewed from the perspective of common sense.

LKB & Partners stated, “Kim Se-ui even spread incomprehensible false information regarding the prosecution and indictment agent, such as, ‘Lawyers from the prosecution and indictment agent(LKB)came to the house where the informant of the recorded file was renting and asked where the informant was,’ ‘The tenant couple who lived in the house where the informant of the recorded file said that they felt threatened by the physically built Korean-Chinese man with the two LKB lawyers,’ and ‘The head lawyer of the prosecution and indictment agent(LKB)also called the informant and attempted to persuade him, and the FBI has obtained a recording of this as well.’”

LKBN Partners said, “Kim Se-ui’s remarks are complete lies without even an inch of truth.Kim Se-ui has indiscriminately spread absurd false information about Kim Soo-hyun based on forged recording files and photos downloaded from the Internet.This is a criminal act that is incomparably more serious than the crimes Kim Se-ui has committed so far.Accordingly, Gold Medalist and Kim Soo-hyun have quickly filed additional lawsuits and indictments against Kim Se-ui and Kim Sae-ron’s bereaved family.We will do our best to ensure that they are punished according to the law and principles.”

From press conferences to lawsuits and accusations, the situation is so dire that it is impossible to read between the lines.It seems like any issue should be decided through a trial, but revelations are pouring out of nowhere, and the content is beyond imagination.And the deceased Kim Sae-ron, who should be resting peacefully, is still the subject of all kinds of ‘gossip’.What on earth is this conflict for? Even those who wanted to remember Kim Sae-ron beautifully are having a hard time recalling their memories of her because of this noisy dispute.How and how will this dispute end? It is time to think about what is best for Kim Sae-ron.Rather than shouting noisily, I think it is time to take a breath, observe, and find a way for Kim Sae-ron.
