According to Korean media reports on April 1, actor Kim Soo Hyun held an emergency press conference, denying allegations that he dated the late actress Kim Sae Ron when she was a teenager.
Kim Soo Hyun's press conference also attracted great attention abroad, with more than 13 million viewers in China watching. Korean netizens are currently accusing Kim Soo Hyun of becoming a global "star" just like his title.
In another development, the drama Knock Off starring Kim Soo Hyun continues to face the storm as Disney+ announces that the drama is not currently on the release schedule.
Previously, on March 21, a Disney+ representative said that they had carefully considered and postponed the film's release plan. "Knock Off" was originally scheduled to premiere in April. However, everything related to this film is now blurred.
The incident was further complicated when experts speculated that "Knock Off" with a production budget of up to 60 billion won, could not only be delayed but also be completely canceled.
If this happens, Kim Soo Hyun is expected to face a large fine, estimated at 20 billion won to more than 150 billion won, based on the usual rule that actors must compensate 2-3 times the production cost.
