Kim Soo-hyun's agency denies the late Kim Sae-ron's recording, saying, "It was manipulated by AI"
On the 7th, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, through their legal representative LKB & Partners, released an official statement. They stated, "'Garo Sero Institute' (hereafter 'Gaseyeon') claimed during their press conference that they had obtained a recording involving the late actress Kim Sae-ron. However, this recording is fabricated, and we believe it was created using AI technology." They added, "We are conducting technical verification and will share the results as soon as they are available."
Gaseyeon also released a 'photo of an assault' claiming that the person who delivered the recording was attacked under the orders of Gold Medalist or attorney Ko Sang-rok. LKB & Partners responded, "The 'assault photo' released by Gaseyeon is an image that can be easily found through an internet search. Gaseyeon and the person who delivered the recording are claiming this downloaded image as an 'assault photo'."
They further stated, "Gaseyeon's press conference is another fabrication aimed at cyber-attacking Kim Soo-hyun, as they are cornered by false defamation, stalking, cyber sexual crimes, and evidence tampering against him."
Finally, they declared, "Gaseyeon's actions are a new type of crime using AI and a serious criminal act aimed at destroying Kim Soo-hyun's character with forged evidence. They will face corresponding punishment. Gold Medalist plans to file immediate legal action for violations of the Stalking Punishment Act and the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (Defamation). We will work closely with investigative agencies to ensure Gaseyeon is punished according to the law and principles."
