So every body knows Garo Sero institute and it's members have a very shady reputation for defamation and spreading wild accusations and have been sued multiple times for defamation and even indicted for extortion and blackmail and one of them was arrested last year for defamation against their president:

so while looking into their history I just realized something:
Kim Yongho has a long history with seungri and YG ent - I didn't realize before now that he is the same journalist that seungri sued and won a defamation suit against in 2016.

on most eng sites he is only referred to as Mr. Kim or mr. K but if you go to KR sites or read comments from that time - it's actually kim yongho:

YGE also won a defamation case against mr. K/Kim yongho in apr 2016:

he is also apparently a well known YG anti and was with KBS during the time that KBS had a feud with YGE (and wrote a lot of negative articles about park bom and daesung since then - this link is about KBS/YG beef but Kim yongho is also mentioned):
btw this (kim yongho) is also the same guy that started the rumour (proven to be false) very early into the burning sun scandal that the informer was stabbed and was in hiding:
