A YouTuber accused of spreading false and fabricated information about actor Kim Soo-hyun appeared in court Tuesday for an arrest warrant hearing over his allegations. Kim Se-ui, operator of YouTube channel Hover Lab, is accused of defaming the actor by falsely claiming that Kim Soo-hyun had dated late actress Kim Sae-ron while she was a minor and that pressure from his side to repay a debt led to her death early last year. The YouTuber is also accused of creating doctored audio recordings of the late actress using artificial intelligence technology to falsely claim she had sexual relations with the actor when she was in middle school. "I do not acknowledge any of the charges," Kim Se-ui said outside the Seoul Central District Court. "It is a nonsense warrant that does not even sort out the basic facts." He disputed the basis for the warrant, vowing to file complaints against police officers and prosecutors who filed for it. Police filed for the warrant on defamation and other charges on May 14, after determining that Kim must have been aware the allegations against the actor were false. H
