[NOTICE] Gold Medalist Releases Police Investigation Results in Cases Against Kim Saeron’s Family and Related Individuals ⸻ Hello, this is Gold Medalist. We would like to share the results of the police investigation into several complaints and accusations filed by #KimSoohyun and our company against the family of the late Kim Saeron and individuals who impersonated the deceased’s aunt. Following the indictment and detention of Kim Seui of Garo Sero Research Institute in connection with the case, alleged accomplices who participated with Kim Seui in a series of offenses, including spreading false information, were also found to have criminal charges against them and were referred to the prosecution. The accomplices referred to the prosecution this time include individuals who impersonated the deceased’s mother and aunt. They face charges including violations of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation through false statements), violations of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (distributing recordings made using cameras or other devices), and attempted coercion. A decision was made not to refer the deceased’s father to the prosecution. In addition, the police conducted separate investigations into alleged accomplices who were not originally included in the complaints. Attorney Boo Jiseok, the lawyer representing the bereaved family who led two press conferences using false and manipulated materials confirmed by investigators, including forged or altered KakaoTalk messages and AI-manipulated audio, as well as Kwon Youngchan, operator of the YouTube channel Kwon Youngchan TV, were each found to have criminal charges against them and were referred to the prosecution. Attorney Boo Jiseok was referred to the prosecution on charges of criminal defamation and violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation through false statements). Kwon Youngchan was referred to the prosecution on charges of violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (distributing recordings made using cameras or other devices). We extend our deepest gratitude to the investigative authorities for their hard work in carefully verifying the facts based on extensive materials and objective evidence, and uncovering the details of the alleged crimes and those involved. naver.me/GT4hmFfl
