According to the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute, at the center of actress Kim Sae Ron‘s bereaved family exposing actor Kim Soo Hyun, the late actress’s mother has decided against releasing any more photos of her daughter and the actor related to the scandal.
Earlier, during a livestream on the channel, reporter-turned-YouTuber Kim Se Ui (Kim Say) hinted in the chat that there are “really bad photos/videos” of Kim Soo Hyun as evidence of his inappropriate relationship with Kim Sae Ron. When his subscribers urged him to share more, he said he obtained “a photo of a person doing the dishes, naked, at his girlfriend’s house.”
I’m going to reveal a new photo every day, one by one. If Kim Soo Hyun’s statement next week turns out to be bullsh*t, I’m going to release three of the really bad photos/videos I have… Just know that I have a photo of a person doing the dishes, naked, at his girlfriend’s house. Haha.

Then, on March 14, 2025 (KST), after Kim Soo Hyun issued an official statement via his agency, GOLD MEDALIST, claiming he and actress Kim Sae Ron dated only after she reached adulthood, the public became expectedly hostile.

However, as demands to “bring Kim Soo Hyun down” grew fierce during the livestream, Kim Sae Ron’s mother has since decided against releasing any more photos. Kim Se Ui commented that, while he is working on convincing her…
I am working on convincing Kim Sae Ron’s parents. If Kim Soo Hyun dares to return to showing his face on TV, I’m going to release the naked dishwashing photo. But the bereaved are worried that Kim Soo Hyun might make bad decisions. That’s the thing with situations like these… I cannot go off on my own and release what they gave me against their wishes.
— Kim Se Ui
…the actress’s mother expressed real concerns about the actor’s state of being and that she did not want to corner him into “choose to do something extreme,” a phrase often used in Korea to refer to suicide death.
Today… Kim Sae Ron’s mother told me she has decided against releasing some of the more shocking photos, like the dishwashing one. After reading his statement, claiming that he’s mentally unstable, she told me that she is concerned about him and worried that he might choose to do something extreme. Know that this is the kind of people that the bereaved family of late Kim Sae Ron are.
— Kim Se Ui
The public remains not convinced, pointing out that Kim Soo Hyun is gaslighting the bereaved with his statement—but respecting the late actress’s mother and her decision to not take things too far, despite all.
- “Sigh…”
- “Sae Ron’s mother is so wise to make such a decision. She’s not letting the cyber wrecker Garosero take advantage of her issue. Remember, what we want is the truth about Sae Ron’s unjust death to be revealed—not to see those disgusting, scandalous photos of him.”
- “Based on everything that has been revealed so far, I don’t think the public would suddenly feel bad for Kim Soo Hyun, should he do such a thing. But… I guess I don’t really mind if things quiet down from here. I just hope he can never, ever come back.”
- “Oh, no…”
- “She must have gotten worried because she has already experienced a loss.”
- “I’m sure he’s fine. He’s not like us.”
- “Oh, I doubt he has any feelings.”
- “No, ma’am… Don’t feel bad for such a shameless person. He’s going to make more victims. I hope she can stay strong.”
- “F*ck this, man…”
- “But he’s the type of person who has no problem showing off his birthday gifts on the same day his ex-girlfriend passed away. He’s the type of person who has not gone to her funeral. He’s not mentally unstable. So, don’t worry—make sure he apologizes and restores the deceased’s honor.”
- “OK but threatening people with his own life—doesn’t that scream classic gaslighting? ‘If you betray me, I’ll kill myself,’ or ‘If you tell anyone, I’ll die.’ These kinds of threats are textbook examples. And yet they called it anxiety? Absolutely not. He’s obviously just manipulating how the media portrays him right now.”
- “This, for sure.”
- “He’s mentally unstable because he’s scared of the consequence, nothing more. There’s no real remorse in his so-called symptoms… I just wish the mom would keep calling him out.”
- “Well… Listen. A dead pedo can’t commit anymore pedo crime, so…”
