  • I'm honestly shocked ?? Kim Soohyun is one of my fave actors, but if all of this is true I'll drop him.. wtf?? This is trash behavior! Justice for her! She tried so hard to survive, to just live, but those evils just didn't show any empathy towards her! Heartbreaking!

  • i'll wait for new informations cuz i'll never believe anything the garo sero institute release about celebrity never again


    they are literally the one who started the harassement of Han Ye seul on social media by starting the rumor that she was an ex prostitute and using mail that they receive as proof of what they said

    and even started to spread rumor that her non celebrity boyfriend was a male escort


    they said Yoo jae suk was part of a sex scandal causing him distress


    started the rumor that Jun Ji hyun husband cheated on her and filled for divorce when it was never the case


    and even said that sulli s****** was "inconvenient" cuz it took away the attention from a political scandal


    Garo sero institute is worse than Sojang and koreans have been reporting their channel for years in hope of getting it shut down but it never work



    so until a real media comes out with true evidence i'll have a hard time to believe anything they said

  • :meme-u-ok: ok.. I think it's better to wait then...

  • Mixed feelings

    I hate to ever, ever give attention to these YouTube journalists but the fact they're openly stating that all of this is coming straight from her family, her aunt to be specific, is very bold.


    Her family is already starting to speak to the media and substantiating some of the claims about Lee Jinho. Haven't seen anything said about KSH yet. Allegedly criminal complaints against him are going to be filed tomorrow, along with pictures. Guess we'll have to wait and see

    i think if the father isn't afraid of speaking about lee jinho he would have talk about KSH too considering the big role he seems to have in saeron situation


    and i'm not saying it's not possible that it's true


    i'm just saying that considering Garo institute reputation and their past of starting rumor and harassment of celebrities based on random proof send to them by people and fake rumor

    it's not the most believable media source


    the owner of the channel have been know to be in debt and even plead his suscriber to give him money to help him pay salary for his worker

    so it's well know by most koreans that he often goes for shock values to get attention on their videos to get views


    it would be much better to wait for more reliable sources like dispatch, chosun etc... before starting to have a discussion about this scandal

  • it would be much better to wait for more reliable sources like dispatch before starting to have a discussion about this scandal

    It's a massive trending topic pretty much everywhere but here, it'd be weird to not discuss it as it developes


    Dispatch for sure would never say anything against him. In fact, I expect a hit piece against her within the next week.

  • Herald POP=Reporter Na-yul Kim] Actor Kim Soo-hyun has completely refuted the claims made by Garosero Research Institute. On



    the 10th, Kim Soo-hyun's agency Gold Medalist stated, "The claims made by Garosero Research Institute on its YouTube broadcast today regarding Kim Soo-hyun are clearly false."




    Then, “Garosero Research Institute claimed that Kim Soo-hyun and YouTuber Lee Jin-ho colluded to harass the late Kim Sae-ron, claimed that the late Kim Sae-ron had dated Kim Soo-hyun since she was 15, claimed that the agency’s response was unfair at the time of the late Kim Sae-ron’s drunk driving accident, and claimed that our agency’s manager was close with YouTuber Lee Jin-ho, etc. They made many malicious claims about our agency and Kim Soo-hyun.”


    They then stated, “These are all false facts that we absolutely cannot overlook, and our agency plans to consider taking the strongest legal action we can against Garosero Research Institute for spreading false facts.”



    The agency also said, “Our agency is deeply saddened by the news of the death of the late actress Kim Sae-ron, who was once with our agency, and we mourn the deceased. However, Garosero Research Institute’s spreading of false information is a direct repetition of the behavior of the so-called ‘cyber wrecker’ that the deceased had such a hard time with while alive, and it is damaging not only our company but also the deceased’s reputation for its own benefit. Our company will respond sternly to this,” he firmly stated.


    Finally, he earnestly requested, “Please refrain from spreading, expanding, or reproducing false information that has no value whatsoever.” Meanwhile,



    the late Kim Sae-ron was found dead at her home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul at 4:54 PM on the 16th of last month. The deceased was an actress under the agency Gold Medalist.

  • 1. Wow his response came in so fastㅋㅋ


    2. I'd only believe the bereaved family so what's the point of Garosero saying anything?


    3. Please just stay neutral. And if it was true, please don't start sending hate comments


    4. If it was true, they would've shared evidence. He can just deny it and wrap it up


    5. If it's not true, then sue Kim Saeron's aunt


    6. I really hope that it's not true. It's just such a disgusting thing so I'm hoping it's false


    7. If it was really true, A lot of evidence will come out


    8. I really hope that he sues. I want to know the truth


    9. I also am wishing that it's not true but people who are fast to believe Kim Soohyun and deny everything are horrible


    10. The bereaved family are not crazy. Do you really think that they'd lie? It's because they feel unfairly treated that they went to Garosero

  • Innocent till proven guilty!


    Since the MeToo movement, many people forget about this, and instantly want to cancel everyone.


    For me, it's always weird when these accusations happening after many years, and doing this after she died is ever more ridiculous. Sure, we can say, in some cases they can't come forward, especially if it's against a much bigger star, but let's be honest, IF I have actual proof against someone, I go to the police, not some random Youtube channel that ruined the lives of multiple innocent people in the past.


    I'm sorry, but I can't take anyone seriously who's going to a Youtube channel, and it's not like we've never seen these so called "family members" trying to frame other people after their relatives died, to gain money for themselves.

  • Ngl, I definitely think they dated. That picture of the two of them was a little too friendly.


    Now, it's more of a question of WHEN they dated, and if all that other stuff is true.

    Yes, but that doesn't make anyone guilty. Since she died, it's not like she can defend herself. Unless her so called aunt has real evidence, this case is closed already.


    BTW the way this YT channel responded to his agency kinda undermines everything. Like it was written by a 10 year old entitled kid.

    Garosero is absolutely disgusting but it's understandable why the family had no other choice but to turn there. This is getting thousand of comments on k-forums, millions of views on korean twitter, absolutely taking over all the hot searches on weibo and yet... no media coverage. There's articles about the claims against Lee Jinho, articles about Kim Soohyun's denial, but very few mentioning what he was actually accused of. The media's silence here is incredibly loud



    regardless, right now there's only claims. Can't be said to be true or untrue

  • Oh Hun... Dispatch is NOT reliable 100%. They are quite questionable and take pay offs from people to write smear pieces.


    Sometimes they are truthful but more often than not they write in favor of where the money is, whomever is more wealthy and powerful gets the boost in positive articles.

  • Well, if they have real evidence and if he's guilty, we will find out soon. Unless he uses his money and silence them.


    It's insane that this girl had to die, so people finally pay attention to her, but nothing new here.

  • I give it 48 hours before there's an article about KSR being some evil seductress ruining men

    Honestly after the Koo Hara abusive ex situation, I would not be too surprised. It was not until she went in person and SHOWED them her bruises that they believed her. Sadly... Saeron is not here to defend herself. Though in both situations it is sad at how much of an extent they had to go to just to prove their innocence and still they get harassed and slandered even in death.

    According to a video essay about the movie (I haven't watched the movie though), it was trying to make Soohyun look cool and badass. As if the movie was like "Look how cool Kim Soohyun is".

    The movie also got called an "egosploitation" movie and a "'sigma' male fantasy".

    I have never watched it out of respect for the discomfort Sulli showed after the hate started hitting her because of their shenanigans. I now will also not only not watch it myself but now recommend others to not do so either knowing that. was what critics had to say about it .

    Well... the reason why I have never wanted to watch that movie is because of it being too dirty for me. (which is more of a personal thing.)

    And also knowing that it is a bad movie, it sounds like a waste of time.


    And the thing about them using Sulli and blaming her for it flopping makes me feel more "nope" about that movie.

  • Again, photos can be altered. I won't believe anything that's coming from that Youtube channel. If the police says they find real evidence, we can judge him.


    Honestly, I'm not surprised at all. This is why I never understood how people can be so obsessed with celebs, and put them on a pedestal. They're people too, not Gods or Angels.


    I can't even count how many of my favorite artists (musicians, actors etc) did something bad, to say the least. I'm not a KSH fan, I like his acting and some of his roles, but that's all. If he did all these shit, he deserves prison time.


    BUT, what actually making me sick to my stomach is that people didn't give a flying fck about this poor girl till she died. In the past 20 years or so, I watched the "same" story with so many Korean celebs. I'm so done with hypocrite people. They bullied this girl till she ended her life, and now, "everyone" tries to protect her.


    Disgusting! In my eyes, these people are not better than KSH, like, at all!

  • 1. If he was really dating her that young- then the families, this alleged Aunt should have raised the stink then itself. To allege it know, seems to be attention farming.

    Still if true, it should be proven in law with evidence.


    2. That he did not help her, when she was in trouble, the firm sued her etc., -even if true, he/nobody is obligated to help. Yes, it feels sucky, when she ended up taking her own life. Nevertheless it is no crime and these things everybody is guilty. I regret that I had been nicer with my elders/ a friend, after they had passed away. Life is like that.


    The internet mob is behaving as usual, when she had the DUI, they went after her, now that she is dead and KSH is set up to be blamed, they are going after him - now supposing KSH also unlives himself, they will go after another target to lynch for that as well.

    It is an endless cycle.


    And neither the mob nor the media which spurs the hunt, will care nothing, if the allegations are proven false.


    I used to think that such is the price to pay for being celebrities. But this internet mob lynching is affecting even ordinary people in small circles.


    Nobody can know another person's life, their relationships, interactions etc., best is to give the benefit of doubt, until otherwise proved.

  • I can't keep track of how many of these girls end up with much older guys as soon as they turn legal.

    I just don't get how you can look at kids like that

    child stars are the prime victims for sick fukos


    there are more and more stinks coming out about him, I hope it gets a proper investigation and if he is guilty, atleast let it be known so other young actresses can watch out.

  • Unless I'm missing something, doesn't that picture (the one she had posted) obviously show that they were dating? I remember the picture causing a bit of a stir back then but people brushed it off after KSH's company put out a statement. It was already said she was 16 in the picture, and in what world do you stick your cheek against someone else's when you're not even dating? I wouldn't do that with someone I don't know well, even less with someone I'm not dating, and even LESS with someone that's nearly half my age AND a minor. Like, why are people even asking for "proof" when anyone that has a brain can tell the first picture was intimate? And now, I don't know if what I'm gonna say is 100% correct since you can only see their faces along with a window/ maybe door frame in the pic, but it also seemed to me like they were laying on a bed or a sofa, and that's even more inappropriate. To sum up there's absolutely NO context that would've made the first pic okay, so I was surprised when people looked past it.

  • Q

    The agency is supposed to protect its actors, but you're saying they put all the responsibility on Kim Saeron?


    Aunt:


    Exactly. As you said, when an actor under the agency goes through something like this, the company should help resolve the situation together. Despite that, when the transformer accident happened and the stores claimed serious damages, the amount of compensation being discussed was just absurdly high.


    At first, they mentioned over 20 billion KRW (~200 million USD) as the penalty fee.


    So when our family tried to investigate and properly calculate the real compensation needed for the businesses affected by the transformer accident, the agency cut us off. They insisted on just covering everything quickly and getting it over with.


    As parents, we naturally believed the agency had some plan and would actively support Saeron through this, so we trusted them. But instead, they dumped all the debt on her, and suddenly sent a certified letter demanding 700 million KRW (~7 million USD) with three lawyers involved.


    When Saeron saw that, she broke down in tears. She immediately thought, "I should at least try to contact them," but no one was answering. Worse, people around her were told not to contact her, even her fellow actors and celebrity friends were being told to cut ties with her.


    So at that point, there was no way to reach them, and that's why we resorted to posting that photo online.


    During that difficult time, Saeron was trying her best to take responsibility, gathering whatever money she had, borrowing from friends, and doing everything she could. But then, out of nowhere, this demand for 700 million KRW came. How was she supposed to pay that on top of everything else?
