Actor Kim Soo-hyun's side released a statement today (7th) countering the press conference held by Gaseyeon.
On the 7th, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, issued an official statement, saying, "Gaseyeon claimed during the press conference that it had secured a recording file with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. However, this recording file is completely forged, and Gold Medalist understands that the recording file was produced using AI and other means."
The agency stated regarding the 'informant' mentioned by Gaseyeon, "The person (hereafter referred to as the 'receiver of the recording file') who delivered the recording file to Gaseyeon approached Gold Medalist claiming that there was a recording file in which the late actress Kim Sae-ron made favorable remarks about actor Kim Soo-hyun, and they are a fraudster. The receiver of the recording file demanded money from Gold Medalist and sent some of the recorded files containing the late actress Kim Sae-ron's voice, but that recording file manipulated her voice, and Gold Medalist made it clear that it did not accept any of the receiver's demands."
Furthermore, "The receiver of the recording file has no connection with the late actress Kim Sae-ron, and when their fraud against Gold Medalist did not work, they conspired with Gaseyeon to disclose the forged recording files of the late actress Kim Sae-ron," and added, "As mentioned earlier, Gold Medalist understands that the receiver of the recording file forged the recording file containing the late actress Kim Sae-ron's voice using AI and other means, and a technical verification is currently underway, and we will share the results as soon as they are available."
In particular, the agency emphasized about the photo that Gaseyeon claimed was a 'photo of an attack,' stating, "Gaseyeon's claims are absolutely unacceptable and a baseless assertion that is too difficult to accept logically. Moreover, the 'photo of an attack' disclosed by Gaseyeon is a photo that can be immediately verified through an internet search, and both Gaseyeon and the receiver of the recording file are claiming that a photo downloaded from the internet is a 'photo of an attack.'"
The agency also noted, "This press conference by Gaseyeon is yet another fabrication by a Gaseyeon cornered by defamation, stalking, cyber sexual crimes, and evidence manipulation against actor Kim Soo-hyun to launch a cyber attack against him, and this press conference serves as crucial evidence that all the numerous claims made by Gaseyeon have been false and fabricated."
They warned, "Gaseon's actions, such as those stated above, constitute a new type of crime using AI and are a serious crime intended to destroy the personality of actor Kim Soo-hyun based on forged evidence, and they will surely face appropriate punishment for this."
Finally, Gold Medalist stated, "We will immediately file a lawsuit for violation of the Stalking Penalty Act and violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation) in connection with this press conference by Gaseyeon, and we will make every effort to ensure that Gaseyeon is punished according to the law and principles through close cooperation with investigative agencies."
Below is Gold Medalist's statement regarding the Gaseyeon press conference
1. Introduction
Today, as the legal representative of Gold Medalist, I will communicate Gold Medalist's stance regarding the claims made during the press conference of the YouTube channel, Garosero Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as "Gaseyeon") (title: [Emergency Broadcast] 'Kim Soo-hyun's Major Crime' Leak Press Conference).
2. Stance regarding the recording file claimed by Gaseyeon
Gaseyeon claimed during the press conference that it had secured a recording file with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. However, this recording file is completely forged, and Gold Medalist understands that the recording file was produced using AI and other means. The person (hereafter referred to as the 'receiver of the recording file') who delivered the recording file to Gaseyeon approached Gold Medalist claiming that there was a recording file in which the late actress Kim Sae-ron made favorable remarks about actor Kim Soo-hyun, and they are a fraudster. The receiver of the recording file demanded money from Gold Medalist and sent some of the recorded files containing the late actress Kim Sae-ron's voice, but that recording file manipulated her voice, and Gold Medalist did not accept any of the receiver's demands.
The receiver of the recording file has no connection with the late actress Kim Sae-ron, and when their fraud against Gold Medalist did not work, they conspired with Gaseyeon to disclose the forged recording files of the late actress Kim Sae-ron. As mentioned earlier, Gold Medalist understands that the receiver of the recording file forged the recording file containing the late actress Kim Sae-ron's voice using AI and other means, and a technical verification is currently underway, and we will share the results as soon as they are available.
3. Regarding the photo claimed by Gaseyeon as a 'photo of an attack.'
Gaseyeon claimed during the press conference that the receiver of the recording file was attacked at the instigation of Gold Medalist or lawyer Ko Sang-rok, and disclosed the 'photo of an attack.' Gaseyeon's claims are absolutely unacceptable and a baseless assertion that is too difficult to accept logically. Moreover, the 'photo of an attack' disclosed by Gaseyeon is a photo that can be immediately verified through an internet search, and both Gaseyeon and the receiver of the recording file are claiming that a photo downloaded from the internet is a 'photo of an attack.'
4. Regarding Gold Medalist's response plan against Gaseyeon.
This press conference by Gaseyeon is yet another fabrication by a Gaseyeon cornered by defamation, stalking, cyber sexual crimes, and evidence manipulation against actor Kim Soo-hyun to launch a cyber attack against him. Gold Medalist is shocked by this press conference and emphasizes that it serves as crucial evidence that all the numerous claims made by Gaseyeon have been false and fabricated. Gaseon's actions, as stated above, constitute a new type of crime using AI and are a serious crime intended to destroy the personality of actor Kim Soo-hyun based on forged evidence, and they will surely face appropriate punishment for this. Gold Medalist will immediately file a lawsuit for violation of the Stalking Penalty Act and violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation) in connection with this press conference by Gaseyeon and informs that it will make every effort to ensure that Gaseyeon is punished according to the law and principles through close cooperation with investigative agencies. End.
