On June 4, attorney Lee Ji Hoon, who previously criticized actor Kim Soo-hyun on his YouTube channel “Knowing Lawyer,” posted an emergency notice, stating that he would delete all content related to Kim Soo Hyun.
According to attorney Lee, the decision came after police reportedly determined that certain materials circulated by Kim Se-ui including KakaoTalk messages and audio recordings allegedly linked to Kim Soo Hyun had been manipulated. Attorney Lee stated that continuing to keep the videos online could create the impression that his channel was endorsing or supporting criminal conduct. “Regardless of the content of the videos, they could be seen as defending Kim Se Ui’s alleged criminal actions,” Lee Ji Hoon explained.
Attorney Lee had previously uploaded several videos analyzing Kim Soo Hyun’s press conference and statements from his agency. In those videos, he questioned aspects of the actor’s explanation regarding his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron and criticized changes in his public stance during the controversy.
Some of the commentary drew significant attention online as public debate surrounding the allegations intensified.
The situation changed dramatically after Kim Se Ui was reportedly arrested and later transferred to prosecutors on charges related to the dissemination of false information. Authorities are investigating allegations that Kim Se Ui spread claims suggesting Kim Soo Hyun had been involved in a relationship with Kim Sae Ron while she was underage and that pressure from Kim Soo Hyun’s side contributed to her financial difficulties.
According to reports, police concluded that some of the evidence publicly presented to support those claims had been digitally manipulated using artificial intelligence technology. Kim Se Ui was taken into custody on May 26 and was reportedly transferred to prosecutors on June 4.
Lee Ji Hoon’s decision to remove all Kim Soo Hyun-related videos has attracted attention as public sentiment surrounding the controversy continues to evolve. The move reflects growing scrutiny over information that circulated during the dispute and highlights the impact of the investigation’s findings on those who previously commented on the case.
As legal proceedings continue, authorities have yet to announce a final conclusion regarding all allegations connected to the controversy. However, the reported findings regarding manipulated materials have significantly altered the discussion surrounding Kim Soo Hyun and the claims that dominated headlines in recent months.
