You can read more and view the entire timeline here.<\/a><\/p>\n The South Korean\u00a0National Forensic Service (NFS) has reached a conclusion on whether the late actress Kim Sae Ron\u2018s leaked audio recording was AI-created\/manipulated, and the result has left Koreans rather rattled.<\/p>\n According to the police on December 15, 2025 (KST), the Seoul Gangnam Police Station received notice from the NFS stating that it was\u00a0\u201cunable to make a determination\u201d regarding whether the recordings\u2014revealed during a press conference held on May 7 by the\u00a0YouTube channel\u00a0Garo Sero Research Institute and attorney\u00a0Bu Ji Seok representing Kim Sae Ron\u2019s bereaved family\u2014had been created and\/or altered using artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n The recordings, which heavily fueled the scandal, contained claims by Kim Sae Ron that she dated actor Kim Soo Hyun beginning when she was a minor, and that she had her first sexual relationship during her second year of middle school. On the same day, Kim Soo Hyun\u2019s legal representatives refuted the allegations, stating that the recordings were fabricated using AI or similar technology.<\/p>\n Kim Sae Ron Admits To Having Sex With Kim Soo Hyun As A Middle School Student<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Money Today noted in its exclusive report that the NFS has examined the recordings at the request of the police. However, its official conclusion is that, due to technical limitations and the fact that the recordings examined are not original files, it could not determine whether the voice and\/or the recordings were generated or manipulated using AI.<\/p>\n Park Jeong Bo, the commissioner of the Seoul Metropolitan Police, stated via a press briefing that the investigation is\u00a0\u201cwrapping up after receiving the forensic results\u201d and that the case will come to a conclusion soon.<\/p>\n We are in the process of wrapping up the investigation after receiving the forensic results. Since the necessary investigations have been completed, I believe a conclusion will be reached soon through analysis of the materials and evidence.<\/p>\n \u2014 Park Jeong Bo<\/p>\n Meanwhile, NFS\u2019s \u201cinconclusive\u201d conclusion has raised new concerns for Koreans as it implied that developments in the AI field have far surpassed the systems currently in place to verify authenticity.<\/p>\n In addition to the recordings, Kim Sae Ron\u2019s side has also released forensic evidence of her KakaoTalk messages with Kim Soo Hyun.<\/p>\n Read more about it here:<\/p>\n Kim Sae Ron\u2019s Side Releases Forensic Evidence That Kim Soo Hyun Dated Her When She Was A Minor<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Source: Money Today<\/a> and theqoo<\/a>\t<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tKim Soo Hyun And Kim Sae Ron’s Relationship\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The government agency has released the results of its analysis. 5 hours ago This article is part of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":351237,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[256,254,255,64,63,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-351236","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-au","12":"tag-australia","13":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=351236"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351236\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/351237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=351236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=351236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=351236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Jenny](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/qWXVTqEUDgOEJgC_N2ozC54U4vq-Z-ge3RFSveGdIZlJFlr5E6mmxa5QOu0DeTVY1_t5c0TBq2E0apnr_LOimB7-cFo0zqRoAw=n.jpeg\"\/)

| theqoo \u201cI\u2019m honestly terrified of AI.\u201d \u201cPutting aside whether we like or dislike Kim Soo Hyun, if this ends up being ruled \u201cinconclusive,\u201d then we\u2019re in real trouble. In the age of AI, victims will keep appearing and this could happen to any of us, too.\u201d \u201cTechnical limitations\u2026???\u201d \u201cDetection technology develops relatively slowly, but AI is advancing way too fast, so making a 100% judgment is probably difficult. If science has progressed this far, it also feels unfair to blame the National Forensic Service for not being able to verify it with absolute certainty.\u201d \u201cSeparate from this specific case, it\u2019s scary that there isn\u2019t even a clear true-or-false conclusion and it\u2019s just deemed inconclusive. It feels like AI-related crimes are only going to increase going forward.\u201d \u201cIf even the National Forensic Service can\u2019t determine it, then who can? This really seems like something that could be abused.\u201d \u201cIf this is ruled inconclusive, then AI crimes are going to explode\u2026\u201d \u201cWow\u2026\u201d \u201cSo people can basically just openly manipulate things with AI now?\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s why the [Korean] government is making AI content labeling mandatory starting in January. Things are probably going to be chaotic for a while.\u201d \u201cI mean, the recordings already sounded strange just listening to them. So the takeaway is that if it\u2019s impossible to tell whether it\u2019s real or fake anyway, then there needs to be forensic proof showing it\u2019s authentic.\u201d \u201cIf it\u2019s ruled inconclusive, does that mean it can\u2019t even be used as evidence?\u201d <\/p>\n
