Garo Sero’s Controversial Exploitation of Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron: Is It a Justice Disguise for a Donation Scheme?

An article from OSEN highlights the rising influence of the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute within South Korean social media circles, drawing significant public attention.

Garo Sero Exploits Kim Soo-hyun & Kim Sae-ron Controversy

Here’s a translated overview of the recent insights.

Garo Sero’s Controversial Role in Kim Sae-ron’s Saga

The YouTube channel Garo Sero has been frequently linked to the late actress Kim Sae-ron, stirring up controversy under the guise of supporting her grieving family. The channel solicits donations related to this issue while urging its audience to help boost their subscriber count to one million, raising eyebrows about their genuine motives.

Previously, Garo Sero claimed that Kim Sae-ron had been in a relationship with actor Kim Soo-hyun for six years, starting when she was just 15. This allegation stirred up considerable controversy, which has resurfaced as they continue to release historical images of the two, intensifying public discussions.

Kim Soo-hyun’s Response and Gold Medalist’s Clarification

On March 14, OSEN reported on the surprising shift in Kim Soo-hyun’s stance regarding his past denial of dating Kim Sae-ron. Initially dismissed by his agency, Gold Medalist, the agency later acknowledged that the two did date from summer 2019 to fall 2020 after she had reached adulthood.

A spokesperson from Gold Medalist stated, “Given the gravity of these claims, we had to rush the official statement, and we appreciate your understanding regarding any oversight.”The agency emphasized that their client and Kim Sae-ron had parted ways four years ago, complicating any confirmation about their past relationship.

In light of recent misconduct, Garo Sero has accused Kim Soo-hyun of a “grooming crime, ”asserting he began dating Kim Sae-ron when she was still a minor. Gold Medalist’s emergency statement sought to clarify two points: that their relationship only began when Kim Sae-ron was already an adult, and that the agency’s legal correspondence regarding a 700 million won damage claim was not intended maliciously.

Nonetheless, Garo Sero teased upcoming revelations during a live broadcast, stating, “We will refrain from discussing Kim Soo-hyun due to concerns from Kim Sae-ron’s family about potential extreme decisions he may make. Therefore, we won’t be releasing the so-called ‘dishwashing photos’ today.”They even claimed to have received a message from Kim Sae-ron’s mother, which they read using AI voice generation, though the authenticity of this claim remains uncertain.

Cyber-Rekka and Misinformation’s Rampant Spread

Garo Sero Research Institute is often labeled as a “cyber wrecking crew”(or cyber-rekka), drawing parallels to tow trucks that rush to accident sites. This term describes YouTubers who sensationalize trending events to generate views and profits from controversies. Many celebrities, including Kim Sae-ron, have voiced their distress over being targeted by such channels, and now Kim Soo-hyun faces similar unfounded provocations.

During their recent broadcasts, Garo Sero resorted to mocking Kim Soo-hyun’s appearance with disparaging remarks while continually referencing older footage of Kim Sae-ron to increase viewer engagement. They appear to capitalize on the situation by soliciting donations, casting doubt on their claimed intentions to support the bereaved family.

The situation grew worse when the channel revealed apparent political biases, showcasing their opposition to impeachment while exploiting the controversies surrounding Kim Sae-ron and Kim Soo-hyun for traction. Their calls for support to boost their subscriber count underscore their underlying motivations.

Amidst this chaos, an individual claiming to be Kim Sae-ron’s mother expressed a desire to restore her child’s honor and set a legal precedent against malicious cyber-rekka activities. She condemned how the narrative has been exaggerated based on a handful of images.

However, Garo Sero’s actions starkly contradict the purported wishes of Kim Sae-ron’s family. The ongoing discussions have propagated misleading rumors, including untenable speculations regarding pregnancy and abortion, prolonging the scrutiny on Kim Soo-hyun and further amplifying misinformation.

Legal Action and the Need for Fact-Checking

In light of the escalating situation, Gold Medalist has signaled its intent to pursue robust legal actions against cyber-rekka entities. Garo Sero, on the other hand, has indicated its preparedness to face the eventual legal repercussions.

At this juncture, it is crucial to move away from sensationalized narratives and riveting speculation, opting instead for a balanced and fact-centered discourse to mitigate the reckless dissemination of misinformation.
