According to Chosun, Kim Soo Hyun was attacked and criticized by the audience on his personal Instagram page. The comment section was flooded with negative comments, asking the actor to leave showbiz, and publicly apologizing.
At 5:00 p.m. (Vietnam time), YouTube channel Garosero released a series of photos, messages, and recordings showing that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron had been dating for 6 years, then had many money disputes.
According to Garosero, Kim Sae Ron's mother said: "The reason I told the story of my lost child was to restore her honor, because her honor was momentarily ruined by false articles, not for any other purpose.
I just want to be remembered and respected as an actor.
Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron's aunt shared that the family had no intention of targeting Kim Soo Hyun, but the two had been dating since they were 15 years old. She said that Kim Sae Ron received a document demanding compensation of 700 million won, and the actor repeatedly asked Kim Soo Hyun to know the truth.
At that time, Kim Sae Ron tried to contact Kim Soo Hyun via phone number but there was no response. Not long after, a reporter contacted Kim Sae Ron's relative and asked: "Is this Kim Sae Ron? ".
At this time, Kim Sae Ron realized that Kim Soo Hyun transferred her phone number to reporters and felt betrayed.
Another message shows Kim Sae Ron sending a cry for Kim Soo Hyun on March 19, 2024, a few days before she posted a shocking photo of Kim Soo Hyun's cheek. The content of the message was as follows: "Oh my, this is Sae Ron. I just received the document and they said they would sue me. They said they would give me more time, I was trying to prepare to return and would gradually pay through each project.
I have no intention of not paying, but if I have to pay 700 million now, I really can't afford it. But does this necessarily lead to litigation? Please, please help me... give me more time".
According to JTBC, the film "Knock Off" starring Kim Soo Hyun is scheduled to be released and hold a press conference in mid-April. Korean media has begun to question whether the show's broadcast schedule will be delayed due to Kim Soo Hyun's scandal.
