✨The 18th anniversary is not just about looking back at his achievements, but about standing firm with him in the midst of storms. Even now, when his name is being whispered in controversy and haters try to drown his light with noise, true fans have chosen a different path. We don’t need to shout or fight aimlessly.

✨Here’s to 18 years of sincerity, and to many more years of triumph.
Yes. It's just a matter of time. For Garosero is game over. He is cornered from everywhere. He destroyed too many people.
The family is gone, who knows where, and acc to their spokesperson they feel su*c*dal. I am sure he's exaggerating as always, but still. All they had to do is present the phone to the authorities. Nothing more.
The spokesperson himself felt exhausted after Police questioning stating : "I was questioned for 4 hrs. If I get involved in something like this again, I'm not even human". Lol. He can't get away from the trial filed by KSH's Global Fandom.
Actor Lee Sun-kyun was questioned for 19 HOURS before his death !!!
✨Kim Soo-hyun’s✨ 18th debut anniversary 🎈on 24th of July🎈 is getting closer. Celebrations and ongoing support amid the controversy did not slow down. Banners, a staple of K-pop and Hallyu fandom, serving as public expressions of admiration, were located strategically in high-traffic or symbolic areas. https://www.frame-less.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=488
🎉 Congratulations on your upcoming 18th debut anniversary! 🎉
🎇Fans and supporters prepared digital billboards along Gangnam-daero and COEX Mall’s exterior screens, a 24-hour display showcasing KSH’s career highlights, with messages like “18 Years of Excellence”.
🎇The proximity to the Gold Medalist agency (Cheongdam-dong) enhances symbolic support and its high foot traffic ensures maximum exposure.
🎇Symbolizing loyalty, outside the Gold Medalist Agency building, Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, support trucks with LED banners were parked displaying “We Trust You, Kim Soo Hyun”.
🎇To boost morale, Hongik University Area, Mapo-gu, near the university entrance and along Wausan-ro, banners celebrated KSH’s debut in Kimchi Cheese Smile. Hongik’s youthful, artistic vibe aligns with KSH’s early career roots, and its accessibility draws 500+ fans, making it a cultural touchpoint.
🎇In Myeongdong Shopping District, Jung-gu, a tourist heavy populated zone, banner placements on pedestrian overpasses and near Lotte Department Store, noted during anniversary events, featured #WeStandWithKimSooHyun enhancing KSH’s Hallyu image while reaching globally.
🎇In Itaewon District, Yongsan-gu, along the main strip near Hamilton Hotel, banners appeared during anniversary week, targeting international visitors through its multicultural appeal.
🎇Maximizing impact and enhancing emotional resonance, through agencies and municipal support, the efforts to celebrate KSH’s legacy, leveraging Hallyu culture and global appeal, make these public displays a vibrant testament to KSH’s fandom’s resilience as of today.
The prosecution has requested prison sentences for participants of the YouTube channel "Garo Sero Institute" (commonly known as Gaseyeon) - Kang Yong-seok and Kim Se-eui - who were indicted for spreading false information during the 20th presidential election, including the claim that President Lee Jae-myung had been sent to a juvenile detention center in the past.They also face charges for raising suspicions that a fall injury sustained by Lee’s wife, Kim Hye-kyung, in November 2021 at their home was due to a domestic dispute.
The prosecution asked the court to sentence lawyer Kang Yong-seok (co-founder of Gaseyeon) to 1 year and 6 months in prison during the final hearing held the previous day at the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Agreement Division 27 (Presiding Judge Woo In-seong). During the trial, lawyer Kang denied the charges, claiming he was raising questions based on various materials such as newspaper articles, rather than asserting them as facts.
❌⭕For Kim Se-eui, the current head of Gaseyeon who was also indicted, the prosecution requested a 1-year prison sentence. Kim Se-eui, however, acknowledged having made the statements. Garosero Guy’s strategy is to deflect blame, blaming it on his buddies : “It was Kang Yong-seok and the late Kim Yong-ho who did it, not me.”
🟡Kim Se-eui's investigation has now begun. It’s starting with the President Lee Jae-myung case, and next it’s going to be Jang-shin, Tzuyang, ✨KIM SOO-HYUN✨, and Lee Sun-kyun’s cases. Seems Garosero Guy is all booked up. In this rhythm he might as well appear at his own defamation trial against ✨KSH✨ wearing his prisoner's clothes. ⚖️ 🏛️ 👨🏻⚖️ 📜 🚔
🟠God of Business states : “At this level of downfall — with his entire fortune gone — If he had only lived off broadcasting, he likely would’ve taken his own life. How is someone supposed to survive when their whole broadcasting platform collapses?
He went to Singapore with his girlfriend, and we’re currently verifying the travel dates. Let’s wait and see whose money he used! If it was embezzled funds, the case becomes a criminal offense immediately. https://x.com/Atumetiana/status/1943701455417823540
Garo Sero Institute made over 5 billion KRW (≈$3.6M). But once Se-eui started broadcasting solo, revenue dropped to 300–600 million KRW. Where did that money go? Did he possibly funnel it into his own pocket?”
🔴Garosero’s other buddies are not doing well either. While the impeached president is in jail his wife, former S. Korean first lady, Kim Keon Hee, has now lost both her advanced degrees: ❌ Master's degree at Sookmyung Women's University: cancelled for plagiarism (June) ❌ Doctorate at Kookmin University: cancelled as admission no longer valid following Master's cancellation (today)
And when I thought it ends here for now, 🤣Garo-Sero Research Institute🤣 pins a statement expressing strong discontent towards two Korean news outlets, 한국경제 (Korea Economic Daily) and 뉴시스 (Newspim), for publishing what the institute claims to be false articles, 🤣accusing them of failing to conduct basic fact-checking🤣 https://x.com/nugusaeyo000/status/1947194358752821500 “The Korean economy and Newsis wrote explicitly false articles. We will definitely take legal action. 😱DO REPORTERS WRITE ARTICLES WITHOUT CHECKING FACTS THESE DAYS ?😱 Lee Mi-na, a reporter for the Korean economy, and Jang Han-ji, a reporter for Newsis. I will definitely file both criminal and civil damages.”
BUT, WAIT !! 😱How did this newspaper article edit and remove Garosero Guy’s name from the title and even his picture from the entire article?😱 https://n.news.naver.com/article/015/0005160601 OG title: "Prosecutors seek prison sentences for Kang Yongseok and Kim Se-ui over claims that Lee Jaemyung was sent to a juvenile detention center." Edited: "Prosecutors seek prison sentence for Kang Yongseok over claim that Lee Jaemyung was sent to a juvenile detention center."
Reading these lines, I remember a user who, at first, believed absolutely all the accusations brought against…
Hating is a very intense and complex feeling. It's hard to actually feel it for someone you know even if they hurt you very much, let alone for a stranger. When someone comes from nowhere stating or acting like they suddenly have such an intense feeling, especially for a stranger entertainer, you know for sure they are deranged. Clearly something is wrong with the neuro connections.
For eg., I like music festivals so I go there. I dance, I sing, I have fun. This is what a normal person does. Goes to places and enjoy themselves. I pay a ticket from my own pocket to enjoy myself and have fun the way I like it.
These people are actually comparing themselves with fans, supporters and usual people who actually pay a ticket to go to this man's concerts and public displays with the purpose of enjoying themselves. They are practically accusing strangers of having fun in their lives because they support an entertainer while they are "hating" him. How would you call this ? I call it pathetic.
Then they start attacking the supporters. They accuse us of posting things thinking we are doing such an act for them. Or as a response to them. Their brain didn't even understand by now that the posts are made to inform each other (the supporters) with accurate and verified data, in order to keep in touch (as a small community) and to help those with lesser time in being informed.
✅️KSH 's several criminal and civil lawsuits that he filed against the family didn't start yet. Although he finished giving his depositions,🚫the family failed to present themselves at the Police station, after 2 given summons. There are no official news if the 3rd Police summon was given, yet. After the 3rd one they will be taken by force.
✅️KSH already submitted on March 31, 2025 all materials (messages, photos, audio, video, letters) to the NFS (National Forensic Service) for analysis. 🚫The family refused to submit anything to the National Forensic Institute or to any other institution that deals with forensics in Korea or any other country.
🚫One of the family's spokesperson talks about reconciliation and negotiation and hopes neither the family nor KSH will get hurt, when the family didn't even present themselves at the Police to give their declarations although they were summoned 2 months ago. https://x.com/eunn30626/status/1944597702467313898 1:08:31 “You see, the thing that’s a bit unfortunate is…” 1:08:36 “If someone had stepped in as a negotiator to smooth things over and support the new attempt… and also reached out to the Gold Medalist side…” 1:08:41 “Then of course, we can’t go back to the past, but…” 1:08:48 “At least something could’ve been done so that neither side got hurt. That’s the most important thing.” 1:08:53 “You know the old saying, ‘Don’t fuel a fight, but encourage negotiation,’ right?” 1:08:56 “That’s why it feels a bit regrettable, even though it’s already in the past. Mm.”
✅️The Civil and Criminal Lawsuits filed by KSH against the family :
March 21, 2025 - KSH files lawsuit against KSR’s Family, the “aunt” and Garosero for : Violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes.
March 31, 2025 - KSH files lawsuit against KSR’s Family, the “aunt” and Garosero for : * Defamation due to spreading false information through information and communication network. * Damages worth 12 billion Won for property and moral damage.

June 23, 2025 - KSH files a false accusation complaint against the Family and Garosero with the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul based on the AI fake recording.
Reading these lines, I remember a user who, at first, believed absolutely all the accusations brought against…
In my personal experience, my friend was an observer on this page and she was shocked to see how much hate could be spread based on rumors. This kind of accusations are very severe, but a lot of people are taking them lightly, like it's just a simple walk in the park. Throwing serious, severe words left and right not only that they lose intensity but even meaning. The word pedi was overused to the point of saturation and beyond, that these days sounds more like teddy. I wasn't interested at that time, I didn't know what was all the fuss about. Then one day she wrote to me crying. A supporter was attacked and humiliated for her mere engagement to the point of desperation. One thing is to write your point of view, even repeatedly and another is to attack blindly (like a mad bull) using hate and slandering everything that appears in front of you. It says everything you need to know about the person behind the keyboard. This kind of extreme reactions to the point of hysteria are typical for fanatics, social rejects and mentally disturbed people.
When I tried to engage with this user to exchange opinions, I was hoping she had some gray matter. Her answers,…
She is not even here for this case. She knows nothing about it. Her repetitive jabs show she’s stuck on some old gossip but what she really wants is to redirect attention. As I said, we have better trolls than this. By now, our trolls are practically family. There is a process, after all. Ignore her and focus on our support.
Scheduled to be held at 10:20 AM on October 15, 2025 Courtroom 409, West Wing, Seoul Central District Court (Courtroom Exit 6)
Defendant : Kwon Young-chan
Charges : Violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (Defamation & Violation of Privacy).
The conundrum is not so much why there are perverts, but more of why these perverts have blind supporters who…
Thank you for your perspective. This page is a space for supporting Kim Soo-hyun, and we respect diverse views. However, legal proceedings are ongoing, with evidence under review. Let’s await facts rather than assumptions. We kindly ask non-supporters to refrain from posting here to keep this a positive community.
In 2007 there was an actress who committed suicide (Jang ja Yeon) she wrote a 7 page letter 💌 telling about…
Her aim is to provoke and discredit by mocking others. She doesn’t even realize that her messages show nothing more than a desperate need to feel validated. She has the same sick pleasure of disrupting and forcing reactions as any other common troll.
But this one is not even empathetic with this case but an opportunist and definitely an exploiter. Unfortunately, her desperate need for attention and the content of her messages shows nothing else than envy. Compared to the others, this one is actually full of envy.
Girls, please avoid her in the future. We have better trolls than this.
At first, I also watched this incident and remained neutral. And he cursed at Kim Soo-hyun. It was because the dead Kim Sae-ron looked suspicious. However, I tried to understand the facts by observing both sides' positions and tried not to make hasty judgments. However, as time passed, my thoughts gradually changed.
I could no longer remain neutral. The attacks on Kim Soo-hyun were so persistent, emotional, and baselessly cruel. The bereaved families of Ga Se-yeon and Kim Sae-ron showed behavior that went beyond the line. And those who agreed with them
Netizens.
Especially online, the stigma against Kim Soo-hyun went too far. Attempts to destroy his image continued, even using provocative words like “pedophile.” It was a witch hunt without logic or evidence. Some people wanted to destroy his life, and others seemed intent on using this opportunity to demand money. It's the same now. I still get hate comments on every single one of my posts. "Is Kim Soo-hyun shielding?" "I don't want to see it", "Are you a comment writer?"
These words continue. Anyone who has different thoughts from you is a part-timer, and you are all a bad person. Some people even ask me if I'm Kim Soo-hyun. I want to live like Kim Soo-hyun, but I'm just an ordinary MZ generation man. But I want to be clear. I am against witch hunts.
This is not just Kim Soo-hyun's problem. I am strongly opposed to the way our society demonizes someone and destroys them with collective anger. If you think someone did something wrong, it should be dealt with as facts and evidence. You shouldn't try to end someone's life with emotions and incitement. That's exactly what we're doing to Kim Soo Hyun right now. If additional evidence comes out and it turns out that Kim Soo-hyun was at fault, I will apologize for my mistake in defending him.
But so far, Kim Soo-hyun appears to be the clear victim. I hope his honor will be restored, I hope Disney Plus Knockoff comes out soon too :)
guilty of what? Dating? There is no criminal procedure against KSH, nobody talks about his guilt apart from sensationalist…
Don't worry, she is not. The subject is a bit sensible because this whole thing got out of control exactly because of the optics. Words were used too easy, very dangerous words, to the point of becoming an amusement, for nothing concrete but speculations. And the word "guilty" is one of them. A person can't be guilty on anything without being found as such. And nobody can be found as such if they weren't even charged with something in the first place. :)
When is the day of trial (hearing ?) for Kim Soo Hyun's lawsuit ? Also what are the optics for him right now ?…
Hi ! KSH 's several criminal and civil filed lawsuits didn't start yet. Although he finished giving his depositions, the family failed to present themselves at the Police station, after 2 given summons. Reporters say that they changed their numbers immediately after the fabricated tape was discovered to be fabricated and they cannot be found. There are no official news if the 3rd Police summon was given, yet. After the 3rd one they will be taken by force.
Globally, KSH has an extremely strong support. It can be seen in all the events they organize, the peaceful delivered messages through support buses in different key points in Korea and the constant gifts and encouragement letters they send to him. Their direct implication in the justice process by hiring a Korean legal team which dealt with cyberbullies and their comments as well as a certain YT channel that spread hate and slandering adds to that. They are very proactive.
The Korean fans remained strong on their positions as well. Some of his dramas premiered or were re-run at the public request, internationally. Netflix Korea will air in a few days another of his dramas. The public support in Korea is app. 60% and growing. People are waiting for the Forensic results which he sent to the national authorities 2 months ago. Some of the reporters started apologizing and more than 200 cyberbullies answered for their actions. A 3rd wave of cyberbullies will be brought to the Police soon. They also apologized.
As for Knock Off, speculations were that they are waiting for the Court results in order to start streaming. It seems that the airing was stopped by the Production team, in order to protect it and the date of airing will be their choice. 2 weeks ago, KSH's Fandom from London had a meeting with a representative from DisneyPlus headquarters in London and they talked about Knock Off. They were reassured that Knock Off will be released as planned.
Although the sources I used are diverse, there was a problem due to lack of KSR personal material. She used to post frequently but she never had a big fandom to begin with, therefore it didn’t spread that much. Around 2016 - 2017 she started to gather more fans only to start losing them around 2018. They erased everything and closed. After her 2022 DUI incident, the majority of remaining left as well.
I recommend you watch the pictures and videos without paying attention to comments.

Kim Soo Hyun's 18th Anniversary, the Way Fans Chose to Prove In the midst of the storm, fans show 'quiet solidarity' 출처 : 프레임리스(https://www.frame-less.co.kr)
Recently, the global fan union is celebrating Kim Soo-hyun's 18th anniversary by broadcasting outdoor advertisements throughout Seoul.
There are no loud slogans or excessive production. Fans convey their messages with simple sentences and refined images. They do not shout to get attention, but rather move more quietly because they believe.
Also, fans are choosing legal procedures over emotional responses to groundless attacks and ridicule online. Instead of jumping into indiscriminate attrition wars within the community, they are taking the approach of formally filing complaints about the spread of false information and defamation.
The fans’ actions to commemorate the 18th anniversary are also quiet but meaningful. In major areas of Seoul, bus shelter advertisements and streetlight banners with Kim Soo-hyun’s face were installed, and a movement to celebrate Kim Soo-hyun’s 18th anniversary continued with a wrapped bus traveling through the city.
These quiet messages left all over the city are not for commercial purposes, but rather a way to prove memory and existence.
Trust that is conveyed without words. That is the method that fans have chosen now.
Other fans celebrated in a more distant and quiet way, gifting Kim Soo Hyun with a star named after him. The star was not just a symbol, but more of a tribute to “a being that will not fade away with time.”
All of these movements are part of the evidence surrounding the person called 'Kim Soo-hyun'. The agency chose legal action instead of an unreasonable media war, and the fans chose to continue rather than make a fuss.
In 2025, the name Kim Soo-hyun is still in the storm. However, Kim Soo-hyun's fans are proving Kim Soo-hyun's sincerity by quietly keeping their place.
Sometimes the biggest cheer is not words, but standing firm. Fans are still waiting for Kim Soo Hyun to shine again in an unwavering manner, in the same place as before.

💌It's hard to believe it's been 18 years since Kim Soo-hyun first stepped into the entertainment industry with his debut in the MBC sitcom 'Kimchi Cheese Smile' in 2007. Over the years, he has grown into one of the most talented and beloved actors in Korea, captivating audiences with his versatility and range.

⚖️He also urged , “ We must conclude the separation of investigation and prosecution , and if there are any illegal human rights violations , they must be held strictly accountable. ”
⚖️“ Let ’s settle what needs to be settled and take responsibility for what needs to be taken . We must respond more actively to crimes that undermine community trust, such as stock price manipulation that disrupts economic order, fake news that divides the public, and malicious dissemination of false information.”

✨ Celebrating 18 Years of Kim Soo Hyun’s Legacy. A Quiet but Powerful Triumph ✨
https://x.com/Londonvoting2/status/1946809711694872683
✨This week, we honor 18 incredible years of Kim Soo Hyun’s journey, a journey built on pure talent, dedication, and sincerity. As the world watches, his name shines not just as an actor, but as a symbol of resilience.
✨The 18th anniversary is not just about looking back at his achievements, but about standing firm with him in the midst of storms. Even now, when his name is being whispered in controversy and haters try to drown his light with noise, true fans have chosen a different path. We don’t need to shout or fight aimlessly. We choose quiet, meaningful actions that speak louder than any rumor, actions that protect his trust, his dignity, and his legacy.
✨Across Seoul, fans have adorned the city with subtle yet powerful messages, bus shelters glowing with his image, banners on streets, and even buses wrapped with his smile. A star in the sky now bears his name, symbolizing a light that will never fade with time. These aren’t just decorations; they are proof of unwavering love and loyalty.
✨“Sometimes the biggest cheer is not words, but standing firm.”
✨Let this week be a radiant reminder that no storm can erase his brilliance. Let us celebrate loudly in our hearts but calmly in our actions, because true strength is quiet, dignified, and unstoppable.
✨Kim Soo Hyun will shine again, brighter than ever. And when he does, we will still be here, in the same place, waiting, protecting, and loving him.
✨Here’s to 18 years of sincerity, and to many more years of triumph.
The family is gone, who knows where, and acc to their spokesperson they feel su*c*dal. I am sure he's exaggerating as always, but still. All they had to do is present the phone to the authorities. Nothing more.
The spokesperson himself felt exhausted after Police questioning stating : "I was questioned for 4 hrs. If I get involved in something like this again, I'm not even human". Lol. He can't get away from the trial filed by KSH's Global Fandom.
Actor Lee Sun-kyun was questioned for 19 HOURS before his death !!!

🎉 Congratulations on your upcoming 18th debut anniversary! 🎉
🎇Fans and supporters prepared digital billboards along Gangnam-daero and COEX Mall’s exterior screens, a 24-hour display showcasing KSH’s career highlights, with messages like “18 Years of Excellence”.
🎇The proximity to the Gold Medalist agency (Cheongdam-dong) enhances symbolic support and its high foot traffic ensures maximum exposure.
🎇Symbolizing loyalty, outside the Gold Medalist Agency building, Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, support trucks with LED banners were parked displaying “We Trust You, Kim Soo Hyun”.
🎇To boost morale, Hongik University Area, Mapo-gu, near the university entrance and along Wausan-ro, banners celebrated KSH’s debut in Kimchi Cheese Smile. Hongik’s youthful, artistic vibe aligns with KSH’s early career roots, and its accessibility draws 500+ fans, making it a cultural touchpoint.
🎇In Myeongdong Shopping District, Jung-gu, a tourist heavy populated zone, banner placements on pedestrian overpasses and near Lotte Department Store, noted during anniversary events, featured #WeStandWithKimSooHyun enhancing KSH’s Hallyu image while reaching globally.
🎇In Itaewon District, Yongsan-gu, along the main strip near Hamilton Hotel, banners appeared during anniversary week, targeting international visitors through its multicultural appeal.
🎇Maximizing impact and enhancing emotional resonance, through agencies and municipal support, the efforts to celebrate KSH’s legacy, leveraging Hallyu culture and global appeal, make these public displays a vibrant testament to KSH’s fandom’s resilience as of today.
The prosecution has requested prison sentences for participants of the YouTube channel "Garo Sero Institute" (commonly known as Gaseyeon) - Kang Yong-seok and Kim Se-eui - who were indicted for spreading false information during the 20th presidential election, including the claim that President Lee Jae-myung had been sent to a juvenile detention center in the past.They also face charges for raising suspicions that a fall injury sustained by Lee’s wife, Kim Hye-kyung, in November 2021 at their home was due to a domestic dispute.
The prosecution asked the court to sentence lawyer Kang Yong-seok (co-founder of Gaseyeon) to 1 year and 6 months in prison during the final hearing held the previous day at the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Agreement Division 27 (Presiding Judge Woo In-seong). During the trial, lawyer Kang denied the charges, claiming he was raising questions based on various materials such as newspaper articles, rather than asserting them as facts.
❌⭕For Kim Se-eui, the current head of Gaseyeon who was also indicted, the prosecution requested a 1-year prison sentence. Kim Se-eui, however, acknowledged having made the statements. Garosero Guy’s strategy is to deflect blame, blaming it on his buddies : “It was Kang Yong-seok and the late Kim Yong-ho who did it, not me.”
✔️The court is scheduled to deliver its verdict on August 20 at 2:10 p.m.
https://n.news.naver.com/article/003/0013375361?sid=102
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb5IwrnHnBk MBC News (2025.07.21)
🟡Kim Se-eui's investigation has now begun. It’s starting with the President Lee Jae-myung case, and next it’s going to be Jang-shin, Tzuyang, ✨KIM SOO-HYUN✨, and Lee Sun-kyun’s cases. Seems Garosero Guy is all booked up.
In this rhythm he might as well appear at his own defamation trial against ✨KSH✨ wearing his prisoner's clothes. ⚖️ 🏛️ 👨🏻⚖️ 📜 🚔
🟠God of Business states :
“At this level of downfall — with his entire fortune gone — If he had only lived off broadcasting, he likely would’ve taken his own life. How is someone supposed to survive when their whole broadcasting platform collapses?
He went to Singapore with his girlfriend, and we’re currently verifying the travel dates.
Let’s wait and see whose money he used! If it was embezzled funds, the case becomes a criminal offense immediately.
https://x.com/Atumetiana/status/1943701455417823540
Garo Sero Institute made over 5 billion KRW (≈$3.6M). But once Se-eui started broadcasting solo, revenue dropped to 300–600 million KRW. Where did that money go? Did he possibly funnel it into his own pocket?”
🔴Garosero’s other buddies are not doing well either. While the impeached president is in jail his wife, former S. Korean first lady, Kim Keon Hee, has now lost both her advanced degrees:
❌ Master's degree at Sookmyung Women's University: cancelled for plagiarism (June)
❌ Doctorate at Kookmin University: cancelled as admission no longer valid following Master's cancellation (today)
And when I thought it ends here for now, 🤣Garo-Sero Research Institute🤣 pins a statement expressing strong discontent towards two Korean news outlets, 한국경제 (Korea Economic Daily) and 뉴시스 (Newspim), for publishing what the institute claims to be false articles, 🤣accusing them of failing to conduct basic fact-checking🤣
https://x.com/nugusaeyo000/status/1947194358752821500
“The Korean economy and Newsis wrote explicitly false articles.
We will definitely take legal action.
😱DO REPORTERS WRITE ARTICLES WITHOUT CHECKING FACTS THESE DAYS ?😱
Lee Mi-na, a reporter for the Korean economy, and Jang Han-ji, a reporter for Newsis.
I will definitely file both criminal and civil damages.”
BUT, WAIT !!
😱How did this newspaper article edit and remove Garosero Guy’s name from the title and even his picture from the entire article?😱
https://n.news.naver.com/article/015/0005160601
OG title: "Prosecutors seek prison sentences for Kang Yongseok and Kim Se-ui over claims that Lee Jaemyung was sent to a juvenile detention center."
Edited: "Prosecutors seek prison sentence for Kang Yongseok over claim that Lee Jaemyung was sent to a juvenile detention center."
For eg., I like music festivals so I go there. I dance, I sing, I have fun. This is what a normal person does. Goes to places and enjoy themselves. I pay a ticket from my own pocket to enjoy myself and have fun the way I like it.
These people are actually comparing themselves with fans, supporters and usual people who actually pay a ticket to go to this man's concerts and public displays with the purpose of enjoying themselves. They are practically accusing strangers of having fun in their lives because they support an entertainer while they are "hating" him. How would you call this ? I call it pathetic.
Then they start attacking the supporters. They accuse us of posting things thinking we are doing such an act for them. Or as a response to them. Their brain didn't even understand by now that the posts are made to inform each other (the supporters) with accurate and verified data, in order to keep in touch (as a small community) and to help those with lesser time in being informed.
✅️KSH already submitted on March 31, 2025 all materials (messages, photos, audio, video, letters) to the NFS (National Forensic Service) for analysis. 🚫The family refused to submit anything to the National Forensic Institute or to any other institution that deals with forensics in Korea or any other country.
🚫The family does a U-Turn on their past statements that they have 8 witnesses, claiming they never said that.
https://www.indiaforums.com/article/kim-soo-hyun-case-kim-sae-rons-family-does-a-u-turn-on-viral-eight-friends-claim-netizens-in-shock_224454
🚫The family is reported lying on Korean National TV.

🚫Reporters say the family changed their numbers immediately after the fabricated tape was discovered to be fabricated and left, who knows where.
https://x.com/dramaLove05/status/1945754422967169492
🚫One of the family's spokesperson talks about reconciliation and negotiation and hopes neither the family nor KSH will get hurt, when the family didn't even present themselves at the Police to give their declarations although they were summoned 2 months ago.

“You see, the thing that’s a bit unfortunate is…”
1:08:36
“If someone had stepped in as a negotiator to smooth things over and support the new attempt… and also reached out to the Gold Medalist side…”
1:08:41
“Then of course, we can’t go back to the past, but…”
1:08:48
“At least something could’ve been done so that neither side got hurt. That’s the most important thing.”
1:08:53
“You know the old saying, ‘Don’t fuel a fight, but encourage negotiation,’ right?”
1:08:56
“That’s why it feels a bit regrettable, even though it’s already in the past. Mm.”
✅️The Civil and Criminal Lawsuits filed by KSH against the family :

* Damages worth 12 billion Won for property and moral damage.
May 9, 2025
KSH files additional complaint against KSR’s Family and Garosero for violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection.
June 23, 2025 - KSH files a false accusation complaint against the Family and Garosero with the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul based on the AI fake recording.
I wasn't interested at that time, I didn't know what was all the fuss about. Then one day she wrote to me crying. A supporter was attacked and humiliated for her mere engagement to the point of desperation. One thing is to write your point of view, even repeatedly and another is to attack blindly (like a mad bull) using hate and slandering everything that appears in front of you. It says everything you need to know about the person behind the keyboard.
This kind of extreme reactions to the point of hysteria are typical for fanatics, social rejects and mentally disturbed people.
There is a process, after all. Ignore her and focus on our support.

Defendant : Kwon Young-chan
Charges : Violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (Defamation & Violation of Privacy).
The trial is open to all citizens.
SIWOO LAW FIRM - https://siwoo-law.com/
But this one is not even empathetic with this case but an opportunist and definitely an exploiter. Unfortunately, her desperate need for attention and the content of her messages shows nothing else than envy. Compared to the others, this one is actually full of envy.
Girls, please avoid her in the future. We have better trolls than this.

At first, I also watched this incident and remained neutral.
And he cursed at Kim Soo-hyun. It was because the dead Kim Sae-ron looked suspicious.
However, I tried to understand the facts by observing both sides' positions and tried not to make hasty judgments. However, as time passed, my thoughts gradually changed.
I could no longer remain neutral. The attacks on Kim Soo-hyun were so persistent, emotional, and baselessly cruel.
The bereaved families of Ga Se-yeon and Kim Sae-ron showed behavior that went beyond the line. And those who agreed with them
Netizens.
Especially online, the stigma against Kim Soo-hyun went too far. Attempts to destroy his image continued, even using provocative words like “pedophile.” It was a witch hunt without logic or evidence. Some people wanted to destroy his life, and others seemed intent on using this opportunity to demand money.
It's the same now. I still get hate comments on every single one of my posts.
"Is Kim Soo-hyun shielding?"
"I don't want to see it",
"Are you a comment writer?"
These words continue. Anyone who has different thoughts from you is a part-timer, and you are all a bad person.
Some people even ask me if I'm Kim Soo-hyun.
I want to live like Kim Soo-hyun, but I'm just an ordinary MZ generation man.
But I want to be clear.
I am against witch hunts.
This is not just Kim Soo-hyun's problem. I am strongly opposed to the way our society demonizes someone and destroys them with collective anger.
If you think someone did something wrong, it should be dealt with as facts and evidence. You shouldn't try to end someone's life with emotions and incitement. That's exactly what we're doing to Kim Soo Hyun right now.
If additional evidence comes out and it turns out that Kim Soo-hyun was at fault, I will apologize for my mistake in defending him.
But so far, Kim Soo-hyun appears to be the clear victim.
I hope his honor will be restored,
I hope Disney Plus Knockoff comes out soon too :)
KSH 's several criminal and civil filed lawsuits didn't start yet. Although he finished giving his depositions, the family failed to present themselves at the Police station, after 2 given summons. Reporters say that they changed their numbers immediately after the fabricated tape was discovered to be fabricated and they cannot be found. There are no official news if the 3rd Police summon was given, yet. After the 3rd one they will be taken by force.
Globally, KSH has an extremely strong support. It can be seen in all the events they organize, the peaceful delivered messages through support buses in different key points in Korea and the constant gifts and encouragement letters they send to him. Their direct implication in the justice process by hiring a Korean legal team which dealt with cyberbullies and their comments as well as a certain YT channel that spread hate and slandering adds to that. They are very proactive.
The Korean fans remained strong on their positions as well. Some of his dramas premiered or were re-run at the public request, internationally. Netflix Korea will air in a few days another of his dramas. The public support in Korea is app. 60% and growing. People are waiting for the Forensic results which he sent to the national authorities 2 months ago. Some of the reporters started apologizing and more than 200 cyberbullies answered for their actions. A 3rd wave of cyberbullies will be brought to the Police soon. They also apologized.
As for Knock Off, speculations were that they are waiting for the Court results in order to start streaming. It seems that the airing was stopped by the Production team, in order to protect it and the date of airing will be their choice. 2 weeks ago, KSH's Fandom from London had a meeting with a representative from DisneyPlus headquarters in London and they talked about Knock Off. They were reassured that Knock Off will be released as planned.
Around 2016 - 2017 she started to gather more fans only to start losing them around 2018. They erased everything and closed. After her 2022 DUI incident, the majority of remaining left as well.
I recommend you watch the pictures and videos without paying attention to comments.

In the midst of the storm, fans show 'quiet solidarity'
출처 : 프레임리스(https://www.frame-less.co.kr)
Recently, the global fan union is celebrating Kim Soo-hyun's 18th anniversary by broadcasting outdoor advertisements throughout Seoul.
There are no loud slogans or excessive production. Fans convey their messages with simple sentences and refined images. They do not shout to get attention, but rather move more quietly because they believe.
Also, fans are choosing legal procedures over emotional responses to groundless attacks and ridicule online. Instead of jumping into indiscriminate attrition wars within the community, they are taking the approach of formally filing complaints about the spread of false information and defamation.
The fans’ actions to commemorate the 18th anniversary are also quiet but meaningful. In major areas of Seoul, bus shelter advertisements and streetlight banners with Kim Soo-hyun’s face were installed, and a movement to celebrate Kim Soo-hyun’s 18th anniversary continued with a wrapped bus traveling through the city.
These quiet messages left all over the city are not for commercial purposes, but rather a way to prove memory and existence.
Trust that is conveyed without words. That is the method that fans have chosen now.
Other fans celebrated in a more distant and quiet way, gifting Kim Soo Hyun with a star named after him. The star was not just a symbol, but more of a tribute to “a being that will not fade away with time.”
All of these movements are part of the evidence surrounding the person called 'Kim Soo-hyun'. The agency chose legal action instead of an unreasonable media war, and the fans chose to continue rather than make a fuss.
In 2025, the name Kim Soo-hyun is still in the storm. However, Kim Soo-hyun's fans are proving Kim Soo-hyun's sincerity by quietly keeping their place.
Sometimes the biggest cheer is not words, but standing firm. Fans are still waiting for Kim Soo Hyun to shine again in an unwavering manner, in the same place as before.
