[김세의] Legal Troubles and Continued Detention for Garo Sero Institute Representative
Kim Se-ui, the representative of the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute (Gaseyeon), is currently facing multiple legal challenges. On the 3rd, the Seoul Central District Court sentenced him to a fine of 5 million won in his second trial for the possession of illegal imitation firearms and insulting lawyer Kang Yong-seok. Separately, Kim remains in custody following his arrest on the 26th of last month for allegedly defaming actor Kim Soo-hyun. Prosecutors accuse him of spreading false claims, including the assertion that actor Kim Soo-hyun's debt pressure was responsible for the death of the late Kim Sae-ron, and manipulating her voice using AI. A request for a review of the legality of his detention was dismissed by the court.
