Recent Speculation Surrounding Park Seo-joon and Kim Soo-hyun’s Friendship
On March 17, Kim Se-ui, a representative from the popular YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute, reignited discussions about the friendship between actors Park Seo-joon and Kim Soo-hyun. This came in light of Park Seo-joon’s revelations during a past interview.
Park Seo-joon’s Journey to Success
The interview that drew attention took place in October of the previous year on Jung Jae-hyung’s YouTube channel, “Fairy Jae-hyung”.In this candid conversation, Park Seo-joon shared how Kim Soo-hyun played a pivotal role in his post-military career. Park explained that after completing his service, he received support through mutual connections, which led to an opportunity to meet with Kim Soo-hyun’s agency.

During the interview, Park detailed, “A friend of a friend who was close to Kim Soo-hyun reached out on my behalf. They asked if I could meet the agency, and Kim Soo-hyun was more than willing to facilitate it.” He conveyed his gratitude, recalling his first visit to the agency where the CEO presented him with a contract, emphasizing its standard nature while encouraging him to seek legal advice if needed. Ultimately, Park decided to sign with the agency, marking a significant milestone in his career.

Garo Sero’s Interpretation
Kim Se-ui offered a contrasting view of the actors’ relationship, suggesting that it was “weaker than a piece of paper.” This statement drew attention to a recent Instagram post by Park Seo-joon, shared on March 16, featuring photos from Paris, captioned, “What did I do in Paris? Horizontal.”
Interpreting this caption, Kim Se-ui noted, “Kim Soo-hyun’s nickname has been ‘YouTuber Kim Paris.’ He exchanged letters labeled ‘horizontal and vertical’ with Kim Sae-ron. Park Seo-joon’s use of ‘horizontal’ in his Paris caption could suggest an ironic connection.”
Further discussing the matter, Kim Se-ui mentioned his supportive stance, commenting, “I stand by Park Seo-joon, but their friendship appears to be genuinely fragile.”
Public Reactions and Developments

In a follow-up comment on Park Seo-joon’s post, Kim Se-ui emphasized the ongoing efforts by Garo Sero Research Institute to support actress Kim Sae-ron, urging Park Seo-joon with the message, “Fight on!”
The response from netizens has been mixed, with many arguing that Park Seo-joon’s caption referred simply to the orientation of his photos, dismissing any implications regarding his friendship with Kim Soo-hyun.
Legal Matters and Continued Controversy
Compounding the situation, on the same day, the legal representatives of the late Kim Sae-ron, represented by the law firm Buyu, held a press conference addressing recent allegations. Attorney Bu Ji-seok announced that they have filed a defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Lee Jin-ho for disseminating false information.
During the conference, Attorney Bu revealed communications between Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron, stating, “After receiving our initial legal notice, she reached out to Kim Soo-hyun for help, but he did not respond. Instead, his agency sent a follow-up notice.”
The unfolding situation has divided fans, leading many to defend the actors while questioning the authenticity of their friendship amid the ongoing drama.
