The Kim Soo Hyun and late Kim Sae Ron controversy has intensified with questions surrounding the authenticity of audio released by Garo Sero Institute. The YouTube channel claimed a whistleblower with a recording of Kim Sae Ron, alleging Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Jin Ho tormented her, was attacked. They further alleged Kim Soo Hyun had sex with Kim Sae Ron in middle school.
Lee Jin Ho has fiercely denied these claims, accusing Garo Sero Institute of fabricating the audio using AI. He presented the whistleblower as a New Jersey fraudster known for voice phishing and extortion, claiming this individual doctored AI-generated audio and demanded money from both him and Kim Soo Hyun. Both parties reportedly dismissed the demands and ceased contact.
Korean netizens are now actively debating whether the released audio sounds AI-generated. While some maintain their condemnation of Kim Soo Hyun, others point to the “awkward” quality of the voice in the recording as potential evidence of manipulation. Theories range from Kim Sae Ron’s alleged unstable state affecting her voice to the possibility of deliberate AI fabrication.
The fact that Garo Sero Institute mentioned “reproduction” in their video description, seemingly referring to the informant’s part, has further fueled the AI debate. While some believe the core of Kim Sae Ron’s alleged confession is real, others are convinced the entire audio is a deceptive creation.
Is this a genuine posthumous revelation from Kim Sae Ron, or a calculated manipulation using artificial intelligence? What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comment section below.
