Kim Soo-hyun’s Agency Sues Late Kim Sae-ron’s Family and YouTuber Over Leaked Photo
On March 20, 2025, Gold Medalist, the agency representing actor Kim Soo-hyun, filed criminal complaints against Kim Sae-ron’s family members and Kim Se-eui, the operator of the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute.
The complaints allege violations of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, specifically regarding the distribution of illegal footage.
The controversy began when Garo Sero Research Institute aired a photograph during a live broadcast, depicting Kim Soo-hyun in a private setting that could cause him sexual embarrassment. This image was reportedly provided by an individual claiming to be the aunt of the late actress Kim Sae-ron.
Gold Medalist emphasized that the photo was taken during a personal relationship between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron, both of whom were adults at the time. The agency stated that the public release of such an image is a clear violation of privacy and constitutes a criminal act.
In their official statement, Gold Medalist expressed deep sadness over Kim Sae-ron’s passing but underscored the necessity of legal action to protect their artist’s rights. The agency mentioned that Garo Sero Research Institute has threatened to release additional similar photos, leaving them with no choice but to pursue strong legal measures.
They further warned that the unauthorized distribution or public display of intimate images without consent is a serious crime and that continued dissemination of false information by Kim Sae-ron’s family or Garo Sero Research Institute would result in comprehensive legal action to safeguard the honor and reputation of both the actor and the agency.
This legal action follows previous disputes between Gold Medalist and Kim Sae-ron’s family. The agency had earlier denied allegations of demanding damages from the late actress, clarifying that any legal notices sent were procedural communications and not demands for repayment.
They also refuted claims of restricting Kim Sae-ron’s contact with other actors within the agency and spreading rumors about former agency member Seo Yea-ji.
