(Video) Controversial YouTuber Lee Jinho Reveals Late Actress Kim Saeron's Final Phone Call
It has been more than two months since young South Korean actress Kim Saeron (김새론) passed away, yet her death remains a tragedy, and a scandal continues to surround it. The controversy was brought to light by her aunt, who claimed that her ex-boyfriend, Kim Soo-hyun (김수현), played a part in the actress's tragic passing. Her aunt also mentioned YouTuber Lee Jinho (이진호), believing he is responsible for spreading false allegations about Kim Saeron to the public.
The same Youtuber is now making headlines after releasing another video regarding Kim Saeron. On 22nd April 2025 (Tuesday), he uploaded a YouTube video titled 'Shocking Exclusive! Kim Sae Ron's Last Voice Recording… Was It Really Kim Soo Hyun's Fault?' to his channel, Entertainment President Lee Jin Ho, shedding new light on the late actress's final months.
Lee Jinho went on to say, 'From the age of two, she worked tirelessly in the entertainment industry. However, following her DUI incident, her life began to spiral out of control, and within a year, she was forced to take on part-time jobs.' He later claimed that the late actress struggled with the immense pressure of being the family's main breadwinner, eventually marrying a man in the United States despite her family's disapproval. 'But Kim Sae Ron longed to escape the harsh realities of her life in Korea and dreamed of starting anew in the U.S.,' he added.
As part of the video, Lee Jinho released a phone call recording of Kim Saeron with a close friend and she said 'Nothing happened, really. But my boyfriend showed me YouTube videos of shamans doing readings on me. They all said I'm evil, that I should already be dead, and that my time has stopped.' She then continues, 'They keep saying I'm a withered flower that can't bloom again, that I'm selfish and terrible…'

#SHOWBIZ: Mimifly dedicates 'Sahabat' to 'loving big brother' Jojo
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Mimifly, whose real name is Mimi Norhisham, has released a heartfelt tribute to her "loving big brother, sifu, and soul mate," Jojo Hasan Baias, who passed away from a heart ailment on Jan 26. Titled Sahabat, Mimi's heartfelt tribute to Jojo premiered as a music video at 11.11am today on her official YouTube channel. Sahabat, co-composed by Mimi and Bo Curley with lyrics by Mimi, serves as a deeply personal farewell to her dear friend and fellow One Nation Emcees member. In a statement released today, Mimi shared: "Our friendship went beyond music — it was built on trust, loyalty, and shared dreams. Sahabat captures that bond in both melody and words, and I've poured all my emotions into the lyrics as a message of gratitude, remembrance, and love." The music video brings these emotions to life through a retro-inspired visual concept, thoughtfully crafted with Mimi's own creative input. "The nostalgic feel, vintage styling, and expressive cinematography were carefully planned to reflect the soul of the song," she explained. Mimi has once again collaborated with Konda Kondi Studio, a production team that she feels shares a "similar wavelength, creative synergy, and commitment to storytelling with heart." Sahabat has also been chosen as the official end-credit song for the film Mencari Ramlee, which premieres on June 19. "I hope that this music video will resonate with fans and new audiences alike — serving as both a tribute to a beloved friend and a reminder of how music preserves the people and memories we carry in our hearts." Mimi will also donate proceeds from the song to Jojo's widow, Siti Rohayu Saharudin, whom she regards as family. "Thank you, Jojo, for the laughter, the stages we shared, and the joy you brought to my life from the beginning," Mimi expressed. "One Nation Emcees was not just a group; we were family."

Fake Pope sermons go viral, fuelling fears over AI misinformation
WASHINGTON, June 6 — AI-generated videos and audios of Pope Leo XIV are populating rapidly online, racking up views as platforms struggle to police them. An AFP investigation identified dozens of YouTube and TikTok pages that have been churning out AI-generated messages delivered in the pope's voice or otherwise attributed to him since he took charge of the Catholic Church last month. The hundreds of fabricated sermons and speeches, in English and Spanish, underscore how easily hoaxes created using artificial intelligence can elude detection and dupe viewers. 'There's natural interest in what the new pope has to say, and people don't yet know his stance and style,' said University of Washington professor emeritus Oren Etzioni, founder of a nonprofit focused on fighting deepfakes. 'A perfect opportunity to sow mischief with AI-generated misinformation.' After AFP presented YouTube with 26 channels posting predominantly AI-generated pope content, the platform terminated 16 of them for violating its policies against spam, deceptive practices and scams, and another for violating YouTube's terms of service. 'We terminated several channels flagged to us by AFP for violating our Spam policies and Terms of Service,' spokesperson Jack Malon said. The company also booted an additional six pages from its partner program allowing creators to monetize their content. TikTok similarly removed 11 accounts that AFP pointed out — with over 1.3 million combined followers — citing the platform's policies against impersonation, harmful misinformation and misleading AI-generated content of public figures. 'Chaotic uses' With names such as 'Pope Leo XIV Vision,' the social media pages portrayed the pontiff supposedly offering a flurry of warnings and lessons he never preached. But disclaimers annotating their use of AI were often hard to find — and sometimes non-existent. On YouTube, a label demarcating 'altered or synthetic content' is required for material that makes someone appear to say something they did not. But such disclosures only show up toward the bottom of each video's click-to-open description. A YouTube spokesperson said the company has since applied a more prominent label to some videos on the channels flagged by AFP that were not found to have violated the platform's guidelines. TikTok also requires creators to label posts sharing realistic AI-generated content, though several pope-centric videos went unmarked. A TikTok spokesperson said the company proactively removes policy-violating content and uses verified badges to signal authentic accounts. Brian Patrick Green, director of technology ethics at Santa Clara University, said the moderation difficulties are the result of rapid AI developments inspiring 'chaotic uses of the technology.' Many clips on the YouTube channels AFP identified amassed tens of thousands of views before being deactivated. On TikTok, one Spanish-language video received 9.6 million views while claiming to show Leo preaching about the value of supportive women. Another, which carried an AI label but still fooled viewers, was watched some 32.9 million times. No video on the pope's official Instagram page has more than 6 million views. Experts say even seemingly harmless fakes can be problematic especially if used to farm engagement for accounts that might later sell their audiences or pivot to other misinformation. The AI-generated sermons not only 'corrode the pope's moral authority' and 'make whatever he actually says less believable,' Green said, but could be harnessed 'to build up trust around your channel before having the pope say something outrageous or politically expedient.' The pope himself has also warned about the risks of AI, while Vatican News called out a deepfake that purported to show Leo praising Burkina Faso leader Ibrahim Traore, who seized power in a 2022 coup. AFP also debunked clips depicting the pope, who holds American and Peruvian citizenships, criticizing US Vice President JD Vance and Peru's President Dina Boluarte. 'There's a real crisis here,' Green said. 'We're going to have to figure out some way to know whether things are real or fake.' — AFP
