South Korea: According to a report by koreaboo, YouTuber Kim Se Ui, the manager of the popular YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute, is in an isolation cell at a Seoul detention center after being arrested for spreading false information about Kim Soo Hyun, including his involvement in the death of actress Kim Sae Ron.
According to a report by Kyunhyang Shinmun on June 29, Kim’s arrest warrant was approved by the Seoul Central District Court last month, after which he was detained at the Gangnam Police Station Detention Center and later transferred to the Seoul Detention Center. The YouTuber has been placed in a separate cell at the facility since early June.
Kim Se Ui’s lawyer has expressed concerns about his safety, citing the possibility of personal retaliation while he remains in custody. These concerns stem largely from threats made against Kim by fellow YouTuber Eun Hyun Jang.
Just one day after Kim’s arrest, Eun went on a live broadcast in which she warned Kim of retaliation and even called on the prison authorities to contact her, promising financial compensation in exchange for resolving the issue for him. Most of these comments were interpreted as open threats. Eun Hyun Jang previously sued Kim for linking him to an investment fraud case.
