Garosero Research Institute has responded to YouTuber Lee Jin-ho's recent claims, in which he alleged that Kim Sae Ron was married and had an abortion before her tragic passing earlier this year. The controversial channel, known for exposing the dating scandal of Kim Soo Hyun, has further hinted at more shocking evidence, suggesting that Kim Soo Hyun's actions go beyond his relationship with Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor and could even be larger in scope than the infamous Nth Room case.
During their March 21 broadcast, Garosero Research Institute¡¯s head, Kim Se-ui, addressed the leaked recording released by Lee Jin-ho, who is currently being sued by Kim Sae Ron's family. The recording, allegedly capturing a phone conversation between Kim Sae Ron and an official from her new agency (referred to as Agency A), revealed personal details about the late actress¡¯s life, including claims of a marriage in New York and an abortion.
Responding to the accusations, Kim Se-ui stated that they are in the process of gathering more evidence. He also cast doubt on the claims of Kim Sae Ron's pregnancy and abortion, calling them improbable and inconsistent with the timeline. "That New York guy¡ªhe might be a bad person too, but the story about her getting pregnant and having an abortion is just not possible. The timeline doesn't add up," he stated.
Kim Se-ui also clarified that their focus is not to target Kim Sae Ron¡¯s past but to address the accusations made by Lee Jin-ho and the wider controversy surrounding Kim Soo Hyun.
Kim Se-ui raised the stakes in his criticism of Kim Soo Hyun, suggesting that the actor's alleged misconduct goes far beyond his reported relationship with Kim Sae Ron while she was a minor. He hinted that upcoming revelations would expose Kim Soo Hyun¡¯s actions as more disturbing than previously known, with implications that might rival the notorious Nth Room case.
"We haven't even revealed our strongest evidence yet," Kim Se-ui claimed. "Kim Soo Hyun won¡¯t just be removed from a drama. This situation is far bigger than that. Do you remember the Nth Room case? Think about the sentence that guy got. What we have is even worse."
In a bold statement, Kim Se-ui issued a direct warning to Disney+, threatening to release their evidence if the platform proceeds with airing Kim Soo Hyun's upcoming drama, Knock-Off.
Kim Sae Ron's family has alleged that they dated for six years, starting when Kim Sae Ron was 15 years old and a minor. The family also claims that Kim Sae Ron was pressured by her agency to repay a significant penalty of 700 million KRW related to a drunk driving incident.
Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medallist, has denied these claims, stating that the relationship between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron began only after she turned 18 and became an adult.?
In an effort to prove their claims, Kim Sae Ron's family has decided to conduct a forensic analysis of her phone to retrieve photos that allegedly document the relationship.?
