Gaseyeon, Reveals Forensic Results from Late Kim Sae-ron’s Phone, Exposing KakaoTalk Conversations, Photos, and Video Call Records from 2015 to 2021
While actor Kim Soo-hyun strongly denies past dating rumors with the late Kim Sae-ron, who was a minor, shocking evidence supporting their relationship has emerged. The YouTube channel ‘Garosero Research Institute’ (hereafter Gaseyeon) on the 2nd released messages and photos from Kim Sae-ron’s phone digital forensics from KakaoTalk conversations in 2018, causing a stir.
In 2018, Their Fresh Conversations… On Leave from Military Service, “You Look Pretty”
In the released KakaoTalk conversation, an individual presumed to be Kim Soo-hyun sent a message to Kim Sae-ron saying “You look pretty, I’m out for a walk.” In response, Kim Sae-ron sent a photo taken at a PC room during Kim Soo-hyun’s military service leave, saying, “Hello, I wanted to show you this.” In another conversation, when Kim Sae-ron asked, “What are you doing? I’m sleeping,” the individual presumed to be Kim Soo-hyun replied, “Yesterday, I drank outside, threw up, slept, threw up in the car, parked to throw up, and now I just woke up,” having a somewhat casual conversation. These conversations were confirmed through forensic metadata to have occurred around April and May 2018.
“I’m Waiting”… Conflict Over Communication Issues
Moreover, Kim Sae-ron sent multiple messages expressing dissatisfaction with Kim Soo-hyun’s lack of communication, saying, “Call the day after tomorrow! But if I can’t reach you tomorrow like today, you’re dead,” “I’m waiting,” and “If you already have plans, you should have told me. Even if I said I couldn’t reach you yesterday, all day long nothing, and I understand you want to go out and have fun or meet people during leave, but I’m upset.” These messages suggest that Kim Soo-hyun was unresponsive during military leave. There were even stern messages hinting at a breakup, where Kim Sae-ron said, “When you want to see and need me, you’re easy to reach, but I’m always unavailable when I need you. If you can’t make an effort, I won’t meet any longer as I’m uncomfortable and concerned about not being able to reach you.”
2017, Photos Taken of Each Other Released… Video Call Traces Also Found
Gaseyeon further released a photo of Kim Soo-hyun that appears to have been taken by Kim Sae-ron in September 2017, and a selfie believed to have been sent by Kim Soo-hyun to Kim Sae-ron in April 2017, revealing their close past. Gaseyeon representative Kim Se-eui emphasized, “We even have the metadata,” stressing that they were not merely acquaintances. He further revealed the existence of FaceTime (video) call records between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron, adding to the shock.
From 2015 to 2021… Dating Period Specified as ‘3 Years and 8 Months’ on Phone
Kim Se-eui unveiled a pivotal piece of evidence by releasing the original video of Kim Sae-ron’s phone recording. He stressed that “The original file clearly specifies the photo’s date and the dating period.” According to the video, Kim Sae-ron’s phone records her dating Kim Soo-hyun from November 19, 2015, to July 7, 2021. This contrasts with Kim Soo-hyun’s side’s claims. Previously, Kim Soo-hyun’s side stated regarding the KakaoTalk messages released by Gaseyeon, “There was conversation via KakaoTalk during a two-week leave in April 2018, but they did not meet. They were not in a romantic relationship at that time, and they began dating after summer 2019.”
Legal Battle Anticipated… What is the Truth?
Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun’s side has filed legal action against Gaseyeon for violating the ‘Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes’ (distribution of materials filmed using cameras, etc.) and for threats, seeking a large sum in damages, taking a strong stance. With conflicting claims and emerging evidence, the truth regarding Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron’s past relationship is expected to be settled in court.
