South Korean police have called in the family of late actress Kim Sae Ron and the head of YouTube channel GaroSero for questioning in connection with the ongoing Kim Soo Hyun dating scandal. Reports suggest both parties have refused to cooperate, raising concerns about possible arrest warrants.
The controversy began when GaroSero claimed that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron had a six-year relationship, starting when she was 15 and he was 27. The channel presented alleged voice recordings and other evidence, but doubts arose when the whistleblower admitted to using AI to manipulate the audio.

Kim Sae Ron’s family also accused Kim Soo Hyun of physically assaulting the whistleblower abroad. However, the accuser later denied these claims. The case has led to multiple police complaints, with four filed by Kim Soo Hyun and two by Sae Ron’s family. Authorities say resolving all complaints will take time.
Recent reports in social media and a blog post on naver claim that GaroSero’s head, Kim Se Ui, and Sae Ron’s family ignored police summons for questioning. Under South Korean law, repeated refusal to cooperate can lead to arrest warrants. Fans and netizens are closely watching the case, demanding a thorough investigation.
Kim Sae Ron’s family has remained absent from public view, even skipping the screening of her final film. Reports suggest her mother is unwell. Meanwhile, Kim Soo Hyun’s fanbase, Voice of Kim Soo Hyun (@BigSis9ja), shared updates on social media, stating:
“KIM SE RON’S FAMILY AND KIM SE UI OF GAROSERO FACE POSSIBLE ARREST WARRANTS.”
A former investigator from the Gangnam Police Department’s Central Investigation Team commented on the situation:
“We saw many suspects skip the early stages of investigation, only to face arrest warrants and more aggressive investigations later. In most cases, it worked against them.”
The scandal has sparked heated debates online. Some believe the accusations are fabricated, while others demand justice for Sae Ron. The case remains one of the most controversial in the Korean entertainment industry, with legal proceedings expected to continue for months.
Kim Soo Hyun, known for hits like “My Love from the Star” and “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay”, has not made a public statement since his press conference. His agency previously denied all allegations, calling them false and defamatory.

As the investigation unfolds, police are expected to take stricter action if the involved parties continue avoiding questioning. The case highlights the growing issue of false rumors and online defamation in South Korea’s entertainment sector.
