In March 2020, the Nth room ѕєχ chat room was exposed and ѕнσ¢кed the public in кσяєα and Asia. "Nth room chat room" with more than 260,000 user accounts was a place to distribute and trade violent videos (яαρє, torture), p0rn)graphy, and illegal insults to women's bo∂ιєs.
The incident made the artist community extremely upset. In particular, some female stars had their personal information exposed in this inhumane chat room. Many Kpop names became victims of the Deepfake application, having their faces cut and pasted into adult products widely distributed in the chat room.
In the context of the scandal involving Kim Soo Hyun and the late actress Kim Sae Ron, the Garosero Institute once mentioned this phrase to imply the seriousness of the incident. They claimed to have “ѕнσ¢кing evidence” of the A-list actor’s perversion and underage relationships.
Soon after, on March 24, actor Kim Soo Hyun’s team filed an additional lawsuit against the operator of the YouTube channel ‘Garoseyo Research Institute’ (GaSeYeon).
Kim Soo Hyun’s management agency Gold Medalist, through its legal representative LKB & Partners, announced that they have filed a lawsuit against Kim Se Yeol, the operator of GaSeYeon, for blackmail.
They further stated, “During live broadcasts on March 21st and 22nd, GaSeYeon threatened Kim Soo Hyun by referencing the Disney+ original drama 'Knock Off', saying that if Disney+ did not cancel the release, they would expose videos of Kim Soo Hyun. They also repeatedly referenced the 'Nth Room,' implying that Kim Soo Hyun had committed crimes similar to those αѕѕociated with that case, and claimed to have footage of it.”
The statement continued, "Such claims by GaSeYeon are completely false, just like all of their previous allegations. The video they claim to exist does not exist at all.”
They added, “GaSeYeon’s actions are a serious criminal offense that cannot be overlooked, and Gold Medalist has swiftly filed an additional report against them.”
Previously, on March 20th, Gold Medalist filed a report with the authorities, accusing GaSeYeon of sharing photos of Kim Soo Hyun’s private moments during their livestream. The company claimed the channel violated the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, particularly the illegal distribution of footage through cameras. Despite this, on March 21st, GaSeYeon reposted the same photos during another livestream.
Kim Soo Hyun's team expressed their anger, saying that “GaSeYeon’s behavior is another criminal act and shows blatant disregard for the law and investigative authorities. Such actions are unimaginable.”
