My favorite chuckle was when GM's lawyers argued, 'Our client who never dated Sae Ron nor ever visited her apartment is subject to embarrassment & fear of sexualization from people viewing the nudie pic of him wearing her mother's blouse while washing dishes in her apartment!'
Is it confirmed that the whole husband and abortion thing was fake?
Regarding KSR's possible marriage & abortion, so far there have been released: - a few photos accompanied by the word "Marry" were uploaded to Instagram by KSR - A total of three audio voice recordings spanning two videos were uploaded to YouTube by Lee Jin Ho - A total of two livestreams via YouTube were presented by Garosero
The first of the three voice recordings was captured by KSR's manager's phone and the conversation is between between himself & presumably KSR as they discuss the photos, her marriage & pregnancy. Her family disputes the rumors and do not think the voice belongs to their daughter. The manager released a statement: "I never provided the transcript or gave consent to Lee Jin Ho for its release. He uploaded the video without my consent." [Note: he says the word video instead of voice recordings because LJH's video includes the audio accompanied by subtitles, in Hangul. The male voice has been scrambled to mask his identity.] There has also been pushback on the authenticity of the first voice recording by both C-Netizens & Chosen Sports. [Note: While I was unable to locate the relevant text in the Chosen Sports link (below), it does include an image of analysis of the first voice recording provided by Lee Jin Ho. This analysis shows evidence that the audio has been manipulated, with gaps (shown as black spaces) in between audio clips. Normally there would be a waveform representing the background noise amidst the conversation.] https://www.koreaboo.com/news/bombshell-voice-recordings-kim-sae-ron-released-alleged-husband/ https://x.com/translatingsk/status/1902345625838219549 https://en.sportschosun.com/celebrity/2025/03/husbands-domestic-violence-revealed-again-kim-sae-ron-scapegoats-57479
On Garasero's first of the two livestreams, he conveyed the family's reaction to the first voice recording. They had never heard of Sae Ron having married, and rejected the allegation that their daughter had had an abortion. He also presents the mother's response in the form of a pre-recorded video featuring her handwritten letter accompanied by narration. It is explained that the mother wanted to record herself reading the letter, but was too exhausted to do so. An AI voice was used in her place. https://www.youtube.com/live/G9QlgXxN28Y?t=3262
On his most recent livestream, Garasero reported that he & the group of KSR's friends got together at her mother's house and talked all through the night. He further claimed that "after interviewing late Kim Sae Ron’s friends, 90% of them stated that Lee Jin Ho, Kim Soo Hyun, and his agency were linked to the reasons behind Kim Sae Ron’s death. They argued that Lee Jin Ho's claims about Kim Sae Ron's pregnancy, marriage, & abortion within the span of a month were entirely unrealistic." https://www.youtube.com/live/HYnYQzubX14?t=2900
Although this looks suspicious, things aren't always what they seem. I don't defend or accuse anyone. I'm not…
To the best of my understanding, we only have five established facts about this scandal:
1) they dated 2) he was in her apartment 3) his is the guy in that one photo 4) he initially lied about 1-3 5) she took her own life on his birthday (no one is suggesting otherwise)
Everything else is prima facie evidence (taken at face value but as-yet unverified), unproven allegations, conjecture, and/or slander.
Although this looks suspicious, things aren't always what they seem. I don't defend or accuse anyone. I'm not…
I do not disagree but his initial denials followed by retractions was not a good foundation for an innocence defense. I also hope he does not reach the point where he believes a fatal choice is his best or only option (as Saeron tragically did)!
Choi Gyu Ri was both adorable & powerful in MMH, and I'm ready to watch anything she does. The more screen time, the better, so a FL role would be perfect!
A previous public statement issued by the family stated that they were submitting content to forensics for authentication. I expect we won't be seeing anything from them until then
After the forensics examination is complete, they should hold another press conference. They should invite all the media, and release their evidence directly instead of via Garosero's YouTube channel, as they have been doing.
Hopefully by now this would be considered newsworthy by the media, so they will attend and report on it. And whether or not the controversial Garosero also attends or reports wouldn't matter.
And if GM also has something to present, let them hold their own press conference too. But I hope whatever content they submit gets analyzed first as well.
And I hope each party is selecting a forensics analysis team whose reputation is above reproach.
Nothing new in today's Garosero livestream. He just bashed Newjeans, Read some articles about KSH & asked for…
"Nothing new in today's Garosero livestream."
How can this be true?
@TankyToon posted a link to an allkpop article (above) which contradicts your claim of "Nothing new".
According to that article, Garosero reframed the marriage & abortion rumors from KSR's friends' perspectives. He reported that a bunch of them got together at KSR's Mom's house and talked all through the night.
"Garosero Research Institute claimed that after interviewing late Kim Sae Ron’s friends, 90% of them stated that Lee Jin Ho, Kim Soo Hyun, and his agency were linked to the reasons behind Kim Sae Ron’s death. They argued that Lee Jin Ho's claims about Kim Sae Ron's pregnancy, marriage, and abortion within the span of a month were entirely unrealistic."
I am referring to an alleged diary which was referenced by KSR's auntie near the beginning of this scandal, about two weeks ago.

KSR's Instagram post appeared only briefly and featured photos of herself along with her presumed then-boyfriend/alleged-husband. The post included a single word: "Marry". KSR subesequently told the media that the marriage rumors were untrue.

The second and third voice recordings are allegedly between KSR's manager and a close female friend/co-worker of KSR. This conversation was recorded on the day of KSR's death (also KSH's birthday) and includes discussions about KSR's marriage, spousal abuse, her pregnancy, and abortion.

Until the audio files have been verified (or unless either side makes a relevant admission), we must wait until forensics has examined the evidence.
