Kim Se-ui reportedly revealed that Kim Sae-ron had had a conversation with the alleged informant discussing the accusations against Kim Soo-hyun. As per the reports, Kim Se-ui emphasized that the recording was done with Kim Sae-ron's consent. However, the informant was reportedly stabbed 9 times in the neck area by two men on April 30, 2025.

He said:

“He was stabbed in the neck 9 times with a knife. That's why I held a press conference today at the earnest request of the informant's family to disclose at least part of it, because I thought the situation could get worse if the family waited any longer. This is clearly a case of instigation of murder.”

“The crime was committed exactly 5 days before, late on Friday night, by a Korean and a Chinese national who entered the country through JFK Airport in New York. They clearly committed a planned crime. Therefore, this case is being investigated by the FBI, not the New Jersey State Police.”

Since March 10, the Garosero Research Institute, alongside the bereaved family of the Bloodhounds actress, has claimed that she was in a relationship with Kim Soo-hyun for around 6 years while she was still underage.

They have been unveiling alleged evidence on YouTube to back their claims. In the recent revelations, on May 7, 2025, according to 10Asia, the YouTuber reportedly played the explicit recording where Kim Sae-ron allegedly admits that she was in a sexual relationship with the Dream High actor since middle school.
