Garosero Research Institute, the YouTube channel that led the exposé against Kim Soo Hyun regarding his alleged relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor, has seemingly released a new photo of Kim Soo Hyun.

During a previous livestream on the channel, reporter-turned-YouTuber Kim Se Ui had shared that he had an explicit photo of Kim Soo Hyun that he was planning to reveal if the actor’s agency didn’t appropriately respond to the situation.
I’m going to reveal a new photo every day, one by one. If Kim Soo Hyun’s statement next week turns out to be bullsh*t, I’m going to release three of the really bad photos/videos I have… Just know that I have a photo of a person doing the dishes, naked, at his girlfriend’s house. Haha.
— Kim Se Ui
But later, Kim updated viewers that Kim Sae Ron’s mother had decided against releasing any new pictures of Kim Soo Hyun out of concern for his mental wellbeing. Netizens were also decidedly against it.

However, the latest livestream on the YouTube channel has partially revealed an explicit picture of Kim Soo Hyun. On March 15, Kim Se Ui hosted a new broadcast titled “Kim Sae Ron’s Bereaved Family, ‘Kim Soo Hyun, Admit That You Dated A Minor’.” The thumbnail, in particular, has drawn significant attention. It features a photo of a man with his back turned to the camera, with the lower portion of his body covered with a “censored” tag.
Since the photo matches Kim Se Ui’s description of the explicit Kim Soo Hyun photo he had obtained, it is assumed that the man on the thumbnail is him. Netizens have given some strong reactions to the thumbnail, ranging from asking the actor to just confess to criticizing Kim Se Ui for this move.

- “Please just admit it and apologize. My eyes are going to rot.”
- “Whoa, f*ck.”
- “What are you doing Kim Se Ui? This is a f*cking mess.”

- “Since the perpetrator is not even acknowledging his crime nor apologizing, only the deceased is getting insulted. This situation is very sad…”

- “People acting like this here probably did the same when Kim Sae Ron’s drunk driving incident happened. Just switching out the person and the incident.”
