Claims that actor Kim Soo Hyun was involved in orchestrating a violent attack on a whistleblower who had provided a controversial recording related to the late Kim Sae Ron have been officially debunked.
According to the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in New York on May 19, there has been no record or notification of any Korean national being arrested or involved in a criminal case involving attempted m*rd*r or other serious charges in the U.S., as would be required under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.
The alleged victim, referred to as A, had claimed to have been stabbed nine times in the neck in New Jersey by two men—one Korean and one Chinese—and that the attack was linked to a plot involving Kim Soo Hyun. However, the consulate confirmed that no such case has been reported by local authorities, and no official notification has been received.
YouTuber Kim Se Ui, head of Garosero Research Institute, held a press conference on May 7, claiming A had been ass**lted and that the attackers had been arrested. He also alleged that FBI records connected the attackers to Kim Soo Hyun through phone records.
However, inconsistencies in the story quickly surfaced. A later changed the story, saying only their arm had been injured. A medical report they presented noted injuries to the right shoulder and left hand—nowhere matching the initial claims of nine stab wounds to the neck.
The case stems from a manipulated audio recording allegedly provided by A, in which Kim Sae Ron is heard claiming she dated Kim Soo Hyun in 2015 when she was still a minor. However, journalist-turned-YouTuber Lee Jin Ho presented a forensic report stating that the recording was likely AI-generated and altered with added noise and a third-party voice.
Lee further claimed that A had attempted to contact both him and Kim Soo Hyun’s camp to demand money, which was refused. The actor’s agency has not issued a formal statement but is reported to be monitoring the situation closely.

1. I didn't even believe it in the first place
2. I don't believe GaroSero but it doesn't mean that I will disregard all the proves that came out until now and that I believe Kim Soohyun; Why are people diverting from the topic now?
3. Can't they just release the original evidence, like the thousands of photos and KaTalk messages from when they were dating as MN? They revealed the manipulated audio and how explicit it was, so why not release the rest?
4. GaroSero... as expected, you can't trust him
5. Why did he have to go that far???
6. It was obvious it was AI, and the story about Won Bin was so far-fetched that it felt off, turns out, it really was
7. I knew this would happen
8. They already had the KaTalks and the letters... and now, people are starting to claim that everything was fake
9. To be honest, I did feel like the ass**lt was farfetched. But Kim Saeron's KaTalks Aren't those qualified evidence?
10. Both GaroSero and the bereaved family are funnyã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
