Actor Kim Soo-hyun has filed an additional police complaint against YouTuber Kim Se-ui on charges of cyberstalking, his attorney said Wednesday.

According to Kim Soo-hyun's legal representative at L.K.B & Partners, Kim Se-ui, operator of right-wing political YouTube channel Hoverlab, was ordered by the court on April 23 to stop producing content related to Kim Soo-hyun after being reported for stalking.


Kim Se-ui still uploaded new videos aimed at defaming Kim Soo-hyun, despite receiving the order from the court on April 24, according to L.K.B & Partners.

"Kim Se-ui is ignoring the court decision with such actions, which can be punished with up to two years in prison or 20 million won [$14,000] according to the Act on Punishment of Crime of Stalking," the law firm said.

The actor has been facing widespread public contempt over accusations of a romantic relationship with the late actor Kim Sae-ron when she was a child, which he denied in a press conference last month.

Kim Se-ui has been releasing photographs, videos and text messages of Kim Soo-hyun on behalf of the late actor's family.
