Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun’s agency has taken legal action against YouTuber Kim Se-eui by filing a fresh complaint. The complaint alleges that Kim Se-eui has been disseminating false information about the actor, and it has been filed under South Korea’s Stalking Punishment Act. This legal move follows a previous complaint filed on April 1, 2025, by the agency, citing Se-eui’s ongoing harassment and spreading of inaccurate claims about the actor.
The agency’s statement emphasized that spreading false accusations against an individual is a criminal offense in South Korea, with severe legal consequences under the Stalking Punishment Act. The statement also clarified that the action taken was based on the repeated and intentional spread of misinformation by Se-eui about Kim Soo-hyun. Such behavior is seen as a form of stalking and harassment under South Korean law.
This legal battle intensified after Kim Soo-hyun’s team filed another complaint and sought further legal measures to prevent Kim Se-eui from continuing this behavior. The Seoul District Court, which previously ruled in favor of Soo-hyun’s team, confirmed that the actions of the YouTuber amounted to stalking and requested immediate intervention.
In response to the court’s ruling, the agency also requested “provisional measures” against Kim Se-eui on April 22, 2025. These measures would legally require the YouTuber to cease any further stalking behavior. The next day, April 23, 2025, the Seoul Central District Court agreed to these provisional measures, marking another victory for Kim Soo-hyun’s legal team.
This incident is part of a larger series of events that have affected Kim Soo-hyun’s public image. The actor faced significant backlash after rumors surfaced regarding his relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron, who was reportedly a minor when they were romantically involved. The situation intensified after Sae-ron tragically passed away on Soo-hyun’s birthday, leading to further media speculation and controversy surrounding their relationship.
Despite the public scandal, Soo-hyun’s agency has worked tirelessly to address the legal issues that have emerged from these rumors. The agency remains committed to protecting the actor’s reputation and ensuring that those who spread false information face legal consequences.
This case highlights the growing concerns over online harassment and the role of social media platforms in perpetuating harmful rumors. It also underscores the importance of legal protection for individuals, particularly public figures, who are vulnerable to the spread of misinformation.
As this legal battle continues, Kim Soo-hyun’s agency remains vigilant in its efforts to protect the actor’s reputation and ensure that justice is served. The outcome of this case could have broader implications for the entertainment industry and online platforms in South Kor
ea and beyond.
