Eun Hyeon-jang's Cool Support for Kim Soo-hyun: "Kim Soo-hyun, Don't Contact Me, Just Earn Lots of Foreign Currency"

YouTuber Eun Hyeon-jang has drawn a clear line while offering unexpected support to actor Kim Soo-hyun. While he and Kim Soo-hyun are entangled as victims facing the same opponent in the ongoing legal dispute with Kim Se-ui, the representative of Garo Sero Institute, Eun Hyeon-jang stated that he does not expect any personal connection or expressions of gratitude. Rather, he offered a calm request for the actor to remain an actor who shows great performances while actively working abroad. His attitude of understanding the opponent's pain while refusing to stage unnecessary solidarity caught attention.

On the 12th, during a live broadcast on his YouTube channel 'God of Business', Eun Hyeon-jang revealed that he received a notice of the dividend date for bank account claims against Garo Sero Institute from the Seoul Central District Court. He explained, "I received a contact saying that a dividend will be distributed regarding the money seized from the Garo Sero Institute bank account," adding, "The first group of dividend claimants is Kim Soo-hyun and 4 others, and the second is Eun Hyeon-jang and 4 others." This implies that the process is underway for various creditors who have pursued legal proceedings against Garo Sero Institute to receive the seized funds.

Mentioning that many people have applied for the seizure of the Garo Sero Institute bank account, Eun Hyeon-jang said, "We will collect the money from the bank account first and then sweep up Kim Se-ui's personal assets as well." He further expressed the difficulty of legal responses, noting that Kim Soo-hyun must also be spending significant time and money in the litigation process. He emphasized, "The process of making a deposit and breaking through to obtain a single document and a judgment is a truly blood-curdling fight." He explained that it is not merely about claiming the opponent's wrongdoing, but involves a significant burden to have rights recognized and achieve practical results through legal procedures.

In particular, Eun Hyeon-jang showed a firm stance regarding the relationship with Kim Soo-hyun raised by some. When reactions emerged questioning whether Kim Soo-hyun should express gratitude to Eun Hyeon-jang or act as if they know each other personally, he stated, "There are people saying Kim Soo-hyun isn't acting like he knows Eun Hyeon-jang because he is busy managing his image behind the scenes, but I have zero expectations from Kim Soo-hyun and I would prefer if he doesn't even act like he knows me." He added, "I do not even know Kim Soo-hyun personally."

This means that just because the two are involved in a legal dispute involving the same opponent, it does not necessarily mean they must form a personal relationship. Eun Hyeon-jang did not demand attention or gratitude from the opponent just because he did something for Kim Soo-hyun. Rather, he made his position clear that they should simply do what they need to do in their respective positions. He essentially emphasized that the fact they are experiencing a common problem and personal friendship are separate domains.

He also sent support to Kim Soo-hyun's overseas activities and acting. "A great person like Kim Soo-hyun should go abroad, earn a lot of foreign currency, and become a wonderful actor who helps our country. Each person just needs to do their own job in their own place," he said. He then mentioned that Kim Soo-hyun's Instagram followers exceed 15 million and jokingly explained his own broadcasting style. He suggested that if Kim Soo-hyun were to recommend his broadcast to fans, the fans might actually leave and decrease the watch time upon encountering his rough speech and shouting. He added, "None of that matters; I just hope Kim Soo-hyun earns a lot of money happily and shows great acting."

Eun Hyeon-jang also revealed that he was involved in the process of verifying the profits earned by Kim Se-ui through content targeting Kim Soo-hyun. He claimed that while the related criminal proceeds were initially identified at around 5 million won, after analyzing videos one by one with his staff, collecting evidence, and submitting it to the prosecution, it could be identified at around 170 million won. This is content disclosed by Eun Hyeon-jang during his broadcast, and the specific calculation of criminal proceeds and legal judgments need to be confirmed during the investigation and trial process. He expressed his intention to continue the legal battle to respond to the behavior of so-called 'cyber wreckers' in the future.

Although Kim Soo-hyun and Eun Hyeon-jang have operated in different fields, their names are being mentioned together at the intersection of legal disputes surrounding online content. Kim Soo-hyun has been refuting allegations regarding his private life as false claims, and Eun Hyeon-jang is also continuing legal responses regarding the revelations about himself. However, the details of the damage suffered by the two, the related allegations, and the progress of legal procedures must be examined separately. This is because the fact that criticism against a specific person or organization has been raised does not mean the entire individual claim has been legally finalized.

The most eye-catching part of these remarks is that Eun Hyeon-jang did not flaunt solidarity with Kim Soo-hyun or expect a personal relationship. Instead of asking Kim Soo-hyun to recognize him, he said he hopes the actor achieves great results abroad and is recognized through his acting. Although they share the commonality of facing the same opponent in a legal dispute, the message is that they can each solve their own problems in their own way. This is the reason why the blunt words "You don't have to act like you know me" and the support "I hope you earn a lot of money happily and show great acting" were delivered together.

In a situation where provocative revelations and online content lead to legal disputes, what is important is not who flaunts intimacy with whom, but what the facts are and how responsibility is determined. Eun Hyeon-jang's remarks are closer to a message of solving problems in one's own place rather than speculation surrounding a personal relationship with Kim Soo-hyun. His attitude of being able to support each other's activities even without knowing each other well is drawing further interest amidst this controversy.
