According to the legal community on the 27th, Eunhyeonjang was reportedly clapping and cheering during a live broadcast the previous afternoon, after news emerged that a warrant had been issued for Kim's arrest. He then could not hold back his emotions and broke down in tears.
Eunhyeonjang also visited the Seoul Central District Court in person that day, where the pre-arrest detention hearing for Kim was held. At the scene, he reportedly exchanged a brief argument with Kim, saying, "Garo Sero broadcasts are 99% manipulation and fraud."
Judge Boo Dong-sik of the Seoul Central District Court issued the arrest warrant for Kim that same day, saying, "There is concern that evidence may be destroyed and that he may flee."
While hosting a live broadcast and waiting to hear whether Kim would be arrested, Eunhyeonjang clapped and shouted in celebration as soon as the news came in. He then appeared overwhelmed and shed tears for about five minutes.
After regaining his composure, Eunhyeonjang said, "People who have never been cursed at for more than two years and six months do not understand. I was cursed at all day, my family was cursed at, and even my mother's memorial photo was circulated."
He added, "I said I understood actor Kim Soo-hyun's feelings even though I had never met him, because I knew what it was like to be hit by public criticism all day long." He continued, "I also went to the Han River several times."

Kim Se-ui, who attacked Eunhyeonjang with claims of 'North Korea remittances' and 'stock manipulation'

Eunhyeonjang has long complained of suffering after becoming a target of Garo Sero Research Institute.
In a radio program last November, he said the group had targeted him with allegations involving North Korea remittances, stock manipulation, and claims that he was Chinese, and that the attacks had left him psychologically shattered.
At the time, Eunhyeonjang claimed that the damage had spread to those around him, with even the personal information of employees at partner companies being exposed. He later appeared at a National Assembly investigation and is said to have publicly criticized Kim's actions.
Kim is accused of spreading false claims through YouTube and other channels that actor Kim Soo-hyun had dated the late Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor, and that pressure from Kim Soo-hyun's side to repay debts was the direct cause of her death.
It was also revealed that he had released a recording file in which Kim Sae-ron's voice was manipulated using artificial intelligence. Before appearing at the detention hearing, Kim reportedly denied all charges, saying, "The arrest warrant is full of obvious falsehoods."
Now that police have secured Kim's custody, they plan to focus their investigation on the many allegations surrounding him, including defamation, insult, and obstruction of business.
