Kim Soo-hyun testifies in trial of YouTuber accused of spreading false allegations

Actor Kim Soo-hyun testified as a witness in the trial of Kim Se-ui, head of the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute, who is accused of spreading false information about the actor's private life. The Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Division 26, presided over by Judge Lee Hyun-kyung, held the first hearing in Kim Se-ui's trial on Wednesday.

Kim Soo-hyun arrived at the courthouse around 1:40 p.m. to testify, but entered through a separate passage rather than the main entrance where reporters were waiting. The trial is centered around controversy surrounding Kim Soo-hyun's private life that erupted last year, with Garo Sero Research Institute alleging that Kim Soo-hyun had dated the late actor Kim Sae.
