New pictures and messages sent between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron have been revealed by Garo Sero Institute.
Kim Se Ui of Garo Sero Institute held his live broadcast on his YouTube channel today, April 2 KST. There, he first went through parts of Kim Soo Hyun’s side’s refutations of his own claims, saying they don’t make sense.
[Referring to the picture of Kim Soo Hyun kissing Kim Sae Ron’s cheek] They say this came out in 2019 but Kim Sae Ron said herself that this picture was taken in 2016. Did she become a college student overnight? What major did she study then?
— Kim Se Ui
He also commented on another picture Kim Soo Hyun’s side refuted.
Garo Sero Institute’s Claim: Isn’t this Kim Soo Hyun’s bed? His pillow? Who took this photo?
Kim Soo Hyun’s Side: This picture was taken on December 14, 2019 after the two went on a walk through Seoul Forest. At the time, Kim Sae Ron was 20 years old and attending Joongang University.
He also attacked Kim Soo Hyun for the lewd video he sent to her while he was in Paris.
Hey Kim Soo Hyun, can you even call yourself a human? Is it okay to send [the video] to her just because she is 20?
— Kim Se Ui
Kim Se Ui then revealed call records of Kim Sae Ron calling and FaceTiming Kim Soo Hyun in 2018, both as a 17 and 18-year-old. Kim Sae Ron was born on July 31, 2000, which means the call on June 20, 2018 was when she was 17, and the FaceTimes were when she was 18. He emphasized that they have access to five of Kim Sae Ron’s cell phones and four of her laptops, and are working with some of Korea’s best digital forensics company to uncover this situation.
He then revealed a screenshot from 2:30 am on April 13, 2018 of a message sent from Kim Sae Ron to Kim Soo Hyun, and questioned if this sort of message is not a clear indication of a romantic relationship. He also questioned how angry she must have felt to take a screenshot of this specific part of her messages to Kim Soo Hyun.
Kim Sae Ron: Oppa, when you miss me and need me, you keep in touch with me without a problem, but when I need you, you’re always MIA (missing). It bothers me that I can’t get in contact with you and it’s inconvenient. If you don’t put in the effort, then I’m not seeing you anymore.
He then claimed how Kim Soo Hyun would have multiple names and accounts on KakaoTalk so that he wouldn’t get caught as easily. He would make a new account, chat with Kim Sae Ron, leave the chat, delete his account, and then make a new account to chat with her again. This is why the name of the person in the screenshot is (unknown). The below screenshot was taken at 2:24 am on April 13, 2018.
Kim Soo Hyun: Pretty Nero, are you doing well? (heart emoji)
Kim Soo Hyun: I’m off the base on a little break.
Kim Sae Ron: Hi
Kim Sae Ron: [screencapture of an Instagram picture of Kim Soo Hyun]
Kim Sae Ron: I wanted to show you this.
Kim Sae Ron: lolololololololololol
Another screenshot was taken at 1:19 am on May 16, 2018.
Kim Soo Hyun: Oh, btw! How about the day after tomorrow, not tomorrow? ㅎㅅㅎ
Kim Sae Ron: The day after tomorrow sounds good, but if I don’t hear from you tomorrow like I didn’t today, you’re dead. (wink emoji)
Kim Sae Ron: lololololololol [sticker]
Kim Sae Ron: You kept me waiting!!
Kim Soo Hyun: Was I… MIA again…?
Kim Sae Ron: Yes, you were so slow to reply.
Kim Se Ui then shared a picture of Kim Soo Hyun that he claims was taken by Kim Sae Ron back in 2017.
Kim Soo Hyun, this picture shows in the metadata a date of September 20, 2017. What is your excuse for this? Kim Sae Ron was in 10th grade at the time. Do you remember which neighborhood you were in on this date? This was a picture taken by Kim Sae Ron on that date.
— Kim Se Ui
He also shared a selfie taken by Kim Soo Hyun and allegedly sent to Kim Sae Ron from April 2017.
This is probably a selfie, but anyway, this is a picture that Kim Soo Hyun likely sent to Kim Sae Ron. Now, isn’t this your house? Where you ate the spicy chicken stew? Your house looks nice, you’re so rich. But on this day, Kim Sae Ron was only 16.
— Kim Se Ui
Finally, Kim Se Ui addressed Kim Soo Hyun’s side’s claims that some of the messages, specifically the message where she specifically stated she dated Kim Soo Hyun from the dates of November 19, 2015 to July 7, 2021 as well as stating that the picture she uploaded on her Instagram was from 2016 were fake. He showed a side-by-side video of the screencaptures that were released with the real conversation between Kim Sae Ron and her cousin, from her cousin’s cell phone.
