Actor Kim Soo-hyun (36), the Garosero Research Institute (hereafter Gaseyeon), and the family of the late Kim Sae-ron have entered a new phase of conflict. The court has granted a provisional seizure totaling 4 billion won on two Seoul APT. owned by Gaseyeon representative Kim Se-eui, which has elevated the level of legal response from Kim Soo-hyun's side.
On the 11th, Kim Soo-hyun's legal representative, LKB & Partners, stated to OSEN, "It is correct that the court has approved the seizure of the real estate in Kim Se-eui's name."
Kim Soo-hyun's side explained, "This seizure is a preemptive measure related to the damage claim. Even if we win in court, if the defendant has no assets, it will be difficult to receive substantial compensation. Therefore, it is a legal procedure to secure assets in advance."
On the 9th, the Seoul Central District Court accepted a seizure application for the APT. 'Seochobyeoksan Blooming' (area 120.27㎡) in Seocho District and 'Hanyang 4th' (area 208.65㎡) in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam District, in Kim Se-eui's name. Notably, the Hanyang 4th APT. is co-owned by Kim Se-eui and his biological sister, so the seizure was applied only to Kim Se-eui's equity (50%).
The amount of the seizure claim is 2 billion won each, totaling 4 billion won. A seizure of the sponsor account has also been granted as of May 20.
This decision indicates that the conflict between Kim Soo-hyun and Gaseyeon and the family has escalated beyond mere rumor responses to a full-scale civil and criminal lawsuit.
Previously, Gaseyeon claimed in February that the late actress Kim Sae-ron and Kim Soo-hyun had been in a relationship for six years since she was 15 years old. In response, Kim Soo-hyun's side firmly countered, stating it is "completely unfounded," and has proceeded with criminal complaints for violations of the Sexual Violence Punishment Act and defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act.
Kim Soo-hyun and his agency Gold Medalist have also filed a civil damage claim lawsuit amounting to 12 billion won.
Kim Soo-hyun's side emphasized, "The indiscriminate spreading of false information has seriously damaged the actor's reputation and integrity," adding, "The court's approval of the seizure can also be interpreted as accepting part of our claims."
As the fierce battle for the truth between Kim Soo-hyun and Gaseyeon and the family intensifies, attention is focused on what conclusion the court will reach.
