Why did Kim Soo Hyun mention in livestream dispatch police to Garosero's office? YouTuber claims 'press suppression'
The controversy involving Kim Soo Hyun and the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute escalated again on June 13, 2025. Seoul police were dispatched to the channel's office in Shinsa-dong. The incident came after the channel aired a live broadcast. The viewers say it may have violated a court-issued stalking restriction involving the actor.
Live broadcast prompts immediate reaction
According to reports, the latest stream featured Kim Soo Hyun 's name prominently in the video thumbnail before it went live. This triggered a wave of concern among netizens. They suspected the move could be a violation of the court's provisional measure.
The order bars Kim Se Ui, the figurehead of Garosero, from producing or publishing content related to the actor. As viewers witnessed the stream unfold in real time, multiple individuals reported the video to the police. It prompted immediate action from authorities.
Police visit and verbal warning
Seoul's police responded swiftly, visiting the YouTube studio and confronting Kim Se Ui directly. Officers reportedly informed him of the provisional stalking measure in place and issued a verbal warning. They urged caution in any further content referencing Kim Soo Hyun.
The interaction was brief, and officers departed soon after, but the implications were significant. When asked by the media about the specifics of the warning or whether legal procedures would follow, police declined to elaborate. They stated they could not provide detailed confirmation at this stage.
Kim Se Ui responds
Despite the police's intervention, Kim Se Ui addressed the situation directly during the same broadcast. Visibly frustrated, he stated, 'The police rang the doorbell and interrupted me while I was on a live broadcast. This is an apparent suppression of the press.'
Stalking order
The visit follows an earlier decision by the Seoul Central District Court, which imposed a provisional stalking order against Kim Se Ui. It restricts his ability to reference or contact Kim Soo Hyun. The YouTuber had appealed the court's decision, but the appeal was dismissed, leaving the order intact.
Garosero's role in controversy
Garosero Research Institute has been at the center of the firestorm surrounding the late actress Kim Sae Ron and her alleged relationship with Kim Soo Hyun. The channel has repeatedly published videos making serious claims about the actor. Many of which remain unverified.
Backed by members of Kim Sae Ron's family, Garosero alleges that Kim Soo Hyun was in a romantic relationship with the actress for six years. It allegedly began when she was still underage. However, Kim Soo Hyun firmly denied the accusations. He states that the actor and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship for only one year, and only after she became a legal adult.

Farah Khan says she regrets not marrying Jaaved Jaaferi after seeing his luxury Bandra apartment. See inside photos
In her latest YouTube vlog, Farah Khan visited actor Jaaved Jaaferi's beautiful sea-facing apartment in Bandra—and she's so impressed that she jokingly says she wishes she had married him. Farah, along with her cook and regular vlog partner Dilip, is seen walking into Jaaved's stylish home and being completely wowed by it. Hugging him, she jokes, 'Jaaved, tere se hi shaadi kar leti mai yaar agar yeh ghar mil raha hota mereko (Jaaved, I would've married you if I knew I'd get a house like this!)' The funny moment leaves Jaaved in splits and sets a fun mood for the rest of the vlog. Jaaved's house is decorated in soft beige tones, with large indoor plants and a comfortable sage green sofa in the living room. Elegant white hanging lamps and a Spanish-style dining table add a touch of class to the space. As Farah continues the house tour, she gets more and more impressed. The bedrooms have large closets, cozy beds, and personal items that make them feel warm and homely. One wall is dedicated to souvenirs Jaaved has collected from his travels. Looking at it, Farah says, 'This is beautiful ya.' She also meets Jaaved's wife, whom he jokes about, saying, 'Achi toh lag rahi hai. She is beautiful abhi bhi,' as Farah hugs her warmly. A fun moment in the vlog is when Jaaved takes Farah to a part of the terrace that he calls the 'Titanic view.' He stretches his arms out wide like Jack from the movie Titanic, making Farah laugh. From the balcony, Jaaved also shows her a clear view of the mountains, the airport, and homes of actors like Emraan Hashmi and Sanjay Dutt. He also shares a bit of Bollywood history. Pointing to two buildings, he says, 'Yaha pe Dilip sahab ka bangla tha, ab building ban gayi, (It was once place to Dilip Kumar's bungalow, but now they have made a building here),' and 'Yeh Rishi sahab ka bangla tha, ab building ban gayi (And this was supposed to be Rishi Kapoor's bungalow).'

Jaaved then takes Farah into a special room filled with CDs, cassettes, and musical equipment. 'This is where my younger son makes his music,' he says, giving fans a look at his personal creative space. Towards the end of the vlog, Farah shares an interesting story about her own home—the one where she now films all her YouTube content. She says, 'Jaaved had actually seen the same house one day before I did!' Jaaved explains, 'Vikas Oberoi told me someone was checking out the house for Vastu, he didn't reveal the name to me. And then he said, if they didn't agree, I could have it.' Farah adds with a smile, 'And then I agreed! And before me, even Shahid Kapoor had seen that house. It really is a lovely place.' In the same vlog, Jaaved revealed that Kriti Sanon's house is across the wall of his building. 'You cross the wall to see her?', jokes Farah Khan.

L-R: Reetika Srinivasan; Dr Aathira Naevis Prabhakar, Founder, Grace Foundation & Utopia Therapy; Singer Roshini Grace Foundation Launches Pioneering Preventive Care Initiative to Combat Alcohol and Substance Abuse In a significant step towards addressing the growing crisis of alcohol and substance abuse, especially among youth, Grace Foundation was officially launched today. At the launch conference, Dr. Aathira Naevis Prabhakar, Founder of Grace Foundation and Utopia Therapy, introduced the Foundation's ground-breaking approach centered on preventive care and education. 'In today's fast-paced and fragmented society, we are witnessing a disturbing rise in alcohol and substance abuse, particularly among young people. What often begins as harmless experimentation quickly spirals into addiction, stealing away potential, disrupting families, and hindering societal progress,' Dr. Aathira stated. Grace Foundation stands firm on the belief that addiction is not a moral failure but a medical condition – one that demands early intervention through preventive education. While India has developed comprehensive models for treatment and rehabilitation, preventive care, particularly in rural and school systems, remains underdeveloped. Prevention as the Most Powerful Treatment At the heart of Grace Foundations mission is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-based visual learning programs, beginning with the 'Say No to Alcohol' Awareness Short Film Contest. This innovative initiative uses the power of visual storytelling to engage young minds, shaping their thoughts, behaviours, and ultimately, their character. 'As we all know, what we see becomes our thoughts, our thoughts shape our behaviours, and behaviours define our character,' Dr. Aathira emphasized. 'By influencing children early through visual learning, we are equipping them to make informed, resilient choices even in the face of peer pressure.' The winners of the short film contest will not only be recognized for their creativity, but will also play a major role in preventive care itself. Their films will serve as ongoing educational tools, screened across schools, colleges, community centres, and social events organized by the Foundation. These powerful visual messages will contribute directly to reducing the incidence of alcohol and substance abuse by empowering students and communities with knowledge and emotional resilience. Beyond Addiction: Addressing the Root Causes Through Utopia Therapy, Grace Foundation also incorporates neuroscience and emotional health to address the deeper issues often underlying addiction – including emotional wounds, family trauma, and gut-brain imbalances. This holistic approach ensures that prevention is not just about avoiding substances but building stronger, healthier individuals from within. 'Our goal isn't just to treat addiction. It is to create a generation that never needs to be treated. We want a Tamil Nadu where, No thirteen-year-old buys tobacco from a corner shop, No college student reaches for alcohol to numb emotional pain, No parent cries over a lost child because society failed to guide them early enough. We strongly believe that addiction is not a moral failure-it is a health condition and prevention is the most powerful treatment that we can offer,' Dr. Aathira added. For any clarifications or further information on the short film contest log on to For information about Grace Foundation, please log on to In addition to awareness generation, Grace Foundation endeavours to offer counselling and evidence-based rehabilitation treatment and care in a supportive environment that will guide the individuals of substance use through every step of recovery and successfully reintegrate them back into the community. The foundations rehab centres will provide a holistic approach to recovery, where the individuals not only rebuild their connections and relationships, but also adapt to healthier and more fulfilling lifestyles. Grace Foundation calls for Parents, Educators, Youth, Policy Makers and Communities to come together to create a safe environment, be the first line of awareness and emotional support, be an active part of social campaigns against substance abuse, remove the stigma and become part of the de-addiction prevention drive.
