Kim Soo Hyun's agency files criminal case against Kim Sae Ron's family and Garosero over pantless photo; know more
Kim Soo Hyun's agency has sued Kim Sae Ron's family and Garosero for releasing his pants-down photo on social media. Read to know what charges they have pressed against them.
On March 20, Kim Soo Hyun co-owned agency, GOLDMEDALIST, filed a criminal lawsuit against Kim Sae Ron's family and Kim Se Eui of the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute, as reported by K-media Newsen. The lawsuit stems from the unauthorized release of a pants-down photo of the actor, which allegedly caused him s*xual humiliation. As the bereaved family and the YouTube channel threatened to release more such compromising photos and videos of the actor, his agency took the step.
As per GOLDMEDALIST's statement, they reported to the legal action to prevent further circulation of private content featuring the actor. The charges they pressed against the accused included "violations of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of S*xual Crimes (distribution of footage filmed using cameras, etc.)". The agency confirmed that the man in the photo was Kim Soo Hyun and claimed it was taken during the late actress Kim Sae Ron's consensual relationship with Kim Soo Hyun when she was a legal adult.
Therefore, its publication was a criminal act that caused Kim Soo Hyun s*xual shame, as per the agency. The statement mentioned, "The act of distributing or publicly displaying footage of another person’s body, which may provoke sexual desire or humiliation, without the subject’s consent is a serious crime." Notably, the photo was alleged to have been taken at Kim Sae Ron's apartment, contradicting GOLDMEDALIST's previous claim that the actor never visited her house. Furthermore, the agency alleged that Garosero was threatening to release more photos, leaving GOLD MEDALIST no choice but to take strong legal action.
They further stated, "We hope such actions will not be repeated." The agency also addressed Kim Sae Ron's family's and Garosero's allegations of Kim Soo Hyun being involved with the Bloodhounds actress when she was a minor, calling them "false information." However, they would not take action against those "baseless rumors" due to their respect towards the untimely passing of Kim Sae Ron, the statement read. But they will not ignore the leakage of private content of Kim Soo Hyun and will take things to court to "protect the honor of our agency and actor."
