YouTuber Eun Hyun Jang posted an audio recording featuring claims from an individual who claims to have shared a detention cell with Kim Se Ui, the head of YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute.
On May 31, Eun uploaded a video titled “[Emergency Release] Kim Se Ui will never get out of prison. Kim Soo Hyun, the family of the late Kim Sae Ron” on his YouTube channel.
In the video, Eun said, “A person who claimed to have spent two or three days in the detention center with Kim Se Ui contacted me immediately after she was released.” He added that he decided to make the information public because he believed it was in the public interest.
The recording that followed contained the voice of a man who identified himself as someone who had recently been released from detention.
According to the informant, “I stayed in the same detention cell as Kim Se Ui for almost three days.” It further said that Kim discussed how pre-trial detention could last up to six months and allegedly suggested that requiring a jury trial with citizen participation could lead to his release within about three months.
The tipster further claimed that Kim had said he wanted to call the late Kim’s mother Sae Ron as a witness during the trial.
According to the recording, Kim believed that if the trial proceeded that way, public opinion might change and some people might begin to view Kim Sae Ron’s mother as partially responsible for the controversy.
The whistleblower further said that Kim complained about being the only person detained despite multiple people being involved in the larger situation. He reportedly expressed confidence that he would ultimately be able to avoid long-term consequences.
After releasing the recording, Eun Hyun Jang said that if the claims were true, they would be deeply shocking.
“If the informant’s account is accurate, it suggests he is considering how to use the city’s jury trial system and grieving family to secure his release from detention,” Eun said.
He also invited responses from all parties involved, saying: “If there are any inaccuracies in the statements, Kim Se Ui’s side is welcome to contact me. Likewise, if the family of the late Kim Sae Ron wishes to share their position, they can do so at any time.”
Meanwhile, on May 26, the Seoul Central District Court issued an arrest warrant for Kim Se Ui, who faces charges including violations of the Law on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sex Crimes, especially the distribution of illegally recorded content, as well as charges related to defamation.
However, it is important to note that the claims revealed in the video are based solely on statements made by an individual who claims to have shared a detention cell with Kim Se Ui. The authenticity of the alleged conversations and whether the statements were actually made have not been independently verified.
