Kim Soo Hyun’s agency releases official statement in case against YouTuber Kim Se Eui amid controversy

The actor Kim Soo Hyun’s agency has recently issued an official statement regarding the case they had filed against YouTuber Kim Se Eui for violating the law under the Stalking Punishment Act.
The actor’s agency has shared that while the first initiative for the case took place on April 1, they have added on additional complaint and accusation charges against the YouTuber. Initially, the company had filed a case against Kim Se Eui for spreading and disseminating false allegations and information about the idol. Under South Korean law, these actions were deemed to be punishable under stalking.
According to Soompi, in their statement, they have shared that “As is well known, on April 1, 2025, GOLDMEDALIST and actor Kim Soo Hyun previously filed a complaint and accusation against Kim Se Eui for violating the Stalking Punishment Act. The basis for this was that Kim Se Eui’s continuous and repeated dissemination of false information about Kim Soo Hyun constituted a stalking crime against the actor."

The statement also said that the Seoul District Court had appealed in their favour and that they requested provisional measures against the YouTuber. They shared that “the investigative authorities, determining that Kim Se Eui’s actions constituted stalking against Kim Soo Hyun, requested a ‘provisional measure' on April 22, 2025, to order Kim Se Eui to cease the stalking behaviour. On the following day, April 23, 2025, the Seoul Central District Court accepted the request and decided on a provisional measure against Kim Se Eui.”
According to the agency’s statement, the YouTuber also ignored the court’s decision and continued to spread false information regarding the actor in such a sensitive matter. It was also shared that according to the Stalking Punishment Act, the YouTuber was liable for punishment of up to 2 years as well as a fine.
They shared in their statement that “Kim Se Eui’s actions, which disregard the court’s ruling, are subject to criminal punishment of up to two years in prison or a fine of up to 20 million won (approximately $14,000) under Article 20, Paragraph 2 of the Stalking Punishment Act. GOLDMEDALIST and actor Kim Soo Hyun have promptly taken additional legal action through another complaint and accusation in response.”
