They have taken additional measures against Garo Sero Research Institute.
On March 20, 2025, it was reported that GOLD MEDALIST filed a complaint against Garo Sero Research Institute for violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, specifically, distribution of illegal footage, etc, after they disclosed photos of actor Kim Soo Hyun with his lower body exposed.
In their latest statement on March 24, 2025, GOLD MEDALIST addressed additional moves from Garo Sero Research Institute. Not only did the latter repost the photo, they also allegedly threatened Disney+. Disney+’s new K-Drama, Knock Off, stars Kim Soo Hyun.
“On the very next day after we filed the complaint, March 21, Garo Sero Research Institute once again posted the same photos during a live broadcast on their YouTube channel. This behavior by them constitutes another criminal act and shows blatant disregard for the law and investigative authorities. It is an unimaginable act.
During the live broadcasts on March 21 and 22, they also mentioned Disney+’s original drama Knock Off, in which actor Kim Soo Hyun appears, and threatened that if Disney+ does not cancel the release of Knock Off, they would release a video featuring Kim Soo Hyun.”— GOLD MEDALIST
They also called out Garo Sero Research Institute for their alleged false threats.
“Garo Sero Research Institute made insinuations that sounded as if actor Kim Soo Hyun had committed a crime similar to the Nth Room case and claimed there is a video recording of it. Like all of their previous claims, this is completely false, and of course, no such video exists. Their actions are serious criminal offenses that cannot be overlooked, and we have swiftly taken additional legal action against them.” — GOLD MEDALIST
