Crossed the Line? Garo Sero Criticized for Framing Kim Soo-hyun as “S** Offender” in Press Conference Livestream
YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute is facing intense backlash after live streaming actor Kim Soo-hyun’s March 31 press conference with a highly controversial title that many netizens deemed defamatory and sensationalized.
The channel labeled the livestream “S** Offender Kim Soo-hyun’s Press Conference,” sparking immediate outrage across online communities.
Kim Soo-hyun’s press conference, held at the Stanford Hotel in Sangam-dong, Seoul, was a deeply emotional appearance in which the actor addressed his alleged relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron and publicly expressed remorse, calling himself “a coward.” Despite the sensitive nature of the event, Garo Sero chose to frame it with a clickbait headline that drew fierce condemnation.
On theqoo, netizens reacted strongly, leaving comments such as:
- It really feels like we got to this point because of Garo Sero. Now that things have somewhat settled, people might overlook it, but if you think about how Kim Soo-hyun’s side responded from the beginning until now, it was seriously malicious… We must never forget this.
- The only way to deal with a lunatic is with another lunatic ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- It really feels like we’re watching a battle between madmen.
- But I don’t get how people find that funny. It just shows that Garo Sero does this kind of stuff regularly, it’s disgusting.
- Garo Sero is a f*cking lunatic, that’s why he’s able to go against him…ㅋ They suit each other
- The thumbnail is insane ㅋㅋㅋ
The criticism continues to mount as viewers accuse Garo Sero of crossing ethical boundaries and exploiting an ongoing controversy for views. Some have even called for the video to be reported or taken down, demanding greater accountability from content creators who cover sensitive topics.
As of now, Garo Sero has not issued any public response to the backlash.
