The article discusses the recent controversies surrounding Korean actors Kim Soo-hyun and Cha Eun-woo. The YouTuber Lee Jin-ho responded to claims made by Kim Sae-ui, the representative of Garosero Research Institute, concerning Cha Eun-woo. On his YouTube channel “Entertainment President Lee Jin-ho,” he uploaded a video titled “Is Cha Eun-woo next after Kim Soo-hyun? Examining Kim Sae-ui of Garosero’s false claims,” refuting the allegation that Cha Eun-woo did not attend the funeral of the late Kim Sae-ron.
Lee Jin-ho stressed that Cha Eun-woo was indeed at the funeral, gathering testimonies from various attendees who confirmed his presence. The controversy began when, during a live broadcast following Kim Soo-hyun’s press conference on March 31st, Kim Sae-ui made a cryptic remark about Cha Eun-woo receiving divine punishment, which intrigued many. Cha Eun-woo and the late Kim Sae-ron reportedly shared a close friendship, having co-starred in a web drama and served as co-MCs on an MBC music show.
Despite rumors of Cha Eun-woo’s absence from the funeral, there were conflicting claims suggesting his attendance. Additionally, Kim Sae-ron’s family filed multiple legal complaints against Lee Jin-ho, accusing him of defamation and violation of the stalking punishment act by disclosing private matters.
