Garosero Research Institute (HoverLab) announced intentions to release more evidence post a press conference held by actor Kim Soo Hyun, amid a legal battle with his agency, Gold Medalist, who accused the Institute of stalking. The issue escalated as eight close friends of late actress Kim Sae Ron claimed that Kim Soo Hyun should apologize to her family but instead filed an 11 billion KRW lawsuit against them.

Furthermore, the friends are set to release a statement alleging awareness of Kim Soo Hyun's past involvement with a minor, contributing to the complexity of the legal and public scrutiny around the actor. The Institute refuted Kim Soo Hyun's denial of meeting Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor, with forensic analysis suggesting otherwise.

The Institute analyzed metadata from Kim Sae Ron's devices, revealing dates of photos taken and details of KakaoTalk conversations with Kim Soo Hyun from 2018. The conversations showed Kim Sae Ron expressing disappointment with Kim Soo Hyun's lack of attention and responsiveness. More KakaoTalk exchanges in 2018 allude to a relationship between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron during her minor years, including voice calls and messages shared between them.

Garosero Research Institute accused Kim Soo Hyun's agency of maliciously editing their KakaoTalk messages but insists on providing clear evidence of their claims. They also mentioned being able to present real-time video evidence of KakaoTalk conversations between Kim Sae Ron and her older sister, verifying Kim Soo Hyun's relationship with the underage actress.
