The family of the late South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron held a major press conference on Wednesday (May 5), accusing actor Kim Soo-hyun of having sex with Kim Sae-ron when she was in the second grade of middle school. At the same time, they released a 7-minute recording claiming to be recorded by Kim Sae-ron before her death, and accused the owner of the audio file of being stabbed nine times by an unknown person earlier this year. However, this statement was strongly denied by Kim Soo Hyun’s side, and some netizens questioned its authenticity. In response to this, the person filmed a video on Wednesday night to prove his identity, showing his arm and the wound with gauze that could not be removed after the operation. He said that if this is still doubted, “I really have nothing to say.”
According to media reports, the family of the late South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron and Kim Se-yi, the owner of the YouTube channel “Horizontal and Vertical Research Institute”, held a press conference on Wednesday, accusing actor Kim Soo-hyun of sexually abusing Kim Sae-ron since she was in the second grade of middle school and trying to cover up the recorded evidence with a high “hush money.” The content of the 90-minute call recording is shocking.
According to Kim Se-yi, the whistleblower was attacked by two Asian men in the United States on May 40 after he rejected Kim Soo-hyun’s agency Gold Medalist’s offer of 5 billion won to buy the recording. He was stabbed 1 times in the neck and hands and required 9 stitches.
However, in response to a series of accusations, Kim Soo-hyun’s side later issued a statement emphasizing that the recording was “synthesized by AI technology” and claimed that the whistleblower had actively contacted Gold Medalist, claiming to have a recording that was favorable to Kim Sae-ron and demanded money in exchange, which was an obvious fraud. “
What has attracted attention is that in response to Kim Soo Hyun’s questioning that “the injuries from the attack were fake”, the whistleblower specially filmed a video to prove himself later on Wednesday. He first took a photo of the time on another mobile phone, pointing out that the shooting time was 5:7 am on May 3th, US time. The man said that although he took a photo of the injury, “I was afraid that there would be some nonsense. Thank you very much.” Then he showed the scars on his hands and explained that because his left hand would be infected after the operation, he could not remove some of the gauze. He said worriedly about having to prove himself: “What should I do?”
Jin Shiyi said that as things have developed to this point, the witness decided not to change his voice anymore and would testify directly with his own voice. He will also go to South Korea in person to broadcast the live broadcast. The witness also mentioned in a phone call with Jin Shiyi that if he was accused of faking the video of his injuries, “I really have nothing to say. I can understand why people would want to commit suicide.”
In addition, Kim Se-yi also released the recording of Lee Jin-ho and lawyer Ko Sang-rok (고상록) calling witnesses. In the audio file, Lee Jin-ho emphasized that he had no relationship with Kim Soo-hyun’s agency Gold Medalist, but he kept asking the witness to hand over Kim Sae-ron’s audio file, and he could not explain where the 10 billion won he could provide came from.
