On March 22, the Garosero Research Institute (HoverLab) held meetings with all of the late Kim Sae Ron’s friends, including those seen in a recent video, in response to claims made by YouTuber Lee Jin Ho. The discussions reportedly continued until 5 a.m.
The Institute disclosed that they met with Kim Sae Ron's mother to address rumors raised by Lee Jin Ho about her alleged marriage and divorce. They described Kim’s mother as being in very poor health, indicating she is extremely frail. Kim’s mother expressed deep distress and even mentioned feeling like she "wanted to die" due to the false information circulating about her daughter.
Lee Jin Ho has made public statements about rumors relating to the alleged marriage and abortion of the late actress Kim Sae Ron. Garosero Research Institute criticized Lee for his silence concerning Kim Soo Hyun and suggested that authorities look into any possible connections between Lee Jin Ho and Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist.
After interviewing Kim Sae Ron’s friends, Garosero Research Institute stated that 90% of them believed Lee Jin Ho, Kim Soo Hyun, and his agency played a role in Kim Sae Ron’s death. They refuted Lee Jin Ho’s claims about Kim Sae Ron’s alleged pregnancy, marriage, and abortion happening within a month, asserting that the timeline was unrealistic.
The Institute mentioned they have KakaoTalk messages from Kim Sae Ron’s friends that contradict Lee Jin Ho's accusations, arguing that it is not feasible for someone to undergo pregnancy, marriage, and abortion within a short period.
Furthermore, Garosero Research Institute claimed to hold evidence involving Kim Soo Hyun that surpasses the seriousness of the 'Nth Room' scandal, hinting that criminal charges could be in play. They also noted that Kim Sae Ron’s manager denied providing any recordings to Lee Jin Ho and suggested that the recordings might have come from Kim Soo Hyun or Gold Medalist.
The Institute referenced a social media message from the late Sulli’s brother targeting Kim Soo Hyun and raised concerns about Sulli’s role in 'Real,' specifically regarding nude scenes that may have contributed to her distress.
Garosero Research Institute emphasized the ongoing controversy surrounding Kim Sae Ron’s death and demanded a thorough investigation into the allegations against Lee Jin Ho and Kim Soo Hyun.
