GOLD MEDALIST, the agency representing actor Kim Soo Hyun, has issued a firm warning against Garo Sero Research Institute, a controversial YouTube channel, for spreading false claims regarding the actor’s alleged romantic relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron. The agency has stated that they are considering strong legal action against the channel for defamation and the dissemination of malicious rumors.

In a recent statement, GOLD MEDALIST dismissed the allegations as entirely false. “The claims about Kim Soo Hyun made in the broadcast are completely false. They claimed that Kim Soo Hyun had been in a romantic relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron since she was 15, that the company mishandled the situation following her DUI incident. These malicious accusations against the company and Kim Soo Hyun are completely untrue and unacceptable. We are currently looking into pursuing the strongest possible legal action against Garo Sero Research Institute for spreading false information,” the agency stated.

The accusations made by Garo Sero Research Institute have sparked outrage among Kim Soo Hyun’s fans, who have expressed support for the actor and denounced the spread of unverified and harmful rumors. The allegations also surfaced shortly after the tragic passing of Kim Sae Ron, further fueling concerns over the ethical responsibility of media outlets and online platforms.

GOLD MEDALIST emphasized that the agency is deeply saddened by Kim Sae Ron’s passing and is mourning her loss. They also highlighted the severe cyber harassment that Kim Sae Ron endured during her lifetime, drawing parallels between past attacks against her and the current wave of misinformation. “The false information spread by Garo Sero Research Institute is reminiscent of the ‘cyber harassment’ Kim Sae Ron faced during her life. These actions appear to be driven by the personal gain of the YouTuber while defaming both the company and the late Kim Sae Ron. We will not tolerate such allegations and will take appropriate action,” the agency stated.

The controversy has reignited discussions on the responsibilities of content creators and the impact of unverified claims on public figures. The entertainment industry has frequently been subjected to speculative rumors and defamation cases, often leading to significant emotional and professional consequences for those involved.

As legal proceedings may unfold, GOLD MEDALIST’s firm stance serves as a warning to those who engage in the spread of baseless accusations. The agency has vowed to protect the reputation of its artists and hold those responsible for defamation accountable.

Kim Soo Hyun, one of South Korea’s most prominent actors, has largely remained silent amid the controversy, allowing his agency to address the issue on his behalf. The actor, known for his leading roles in hit dramas such as It’s Okay to Not Be Okay and My Love from the Star, continues to have a loyal fanbase that has rallied in support of him.

As the situation develops, the entertainment industry and fans alike will be closely watching how GOLD MEDALIST proceeds with its legal actions against Garo Sero Research Institute. Meanwhile, concerns over online defamation and the spread of misinformation remain at the forefront of discussions surrounding celebrity privacy and media ethics.
