AI deepfake audio and alleged bribery claims Kim's legal team at LKB & Partners responded forcefully: 'Kim Se Ui and the late Kim Sae Ron's family went beyond merely spreading false information based on a forged audio file. They even filed a criminal complaint against actor Kim Soo Hyun, accusing him of false charges and violations of the Child Welfare Act. This is a clear and serious case of false accusation.' via Koreaboo The audio clip, which Kim's team asserts was created using AI deep voice technology, included lines such as: 'The first time [we had sex] was around the winter break of my second year in middle school.' Alleged voice of Kim Sae Ron, played by Kim Se Ui Kim Se Ui further alleged that Soo Hyun offered 4 billion KRW which is 2.91 million dollars USD to suppress the file and later assaulted the whistleblower when the offer was refused. Kim's lawyers have denied all claims, calling them 'absurd and baseless lies' and emphasizing the criminal severity of submitting forged digital evidence.
