Previously, on April 26, Korean media reported that Kim Soo Hyun had dated an idol actress between 2017 and 2019.
Based on information from this article and Kim Soo Hyun's previous statements, many Korean netizens have had controversies about this information.
Online community users have argued that Kim Soo Hyun's past relationship with the idol actress is unrelated to his relationship with Kim Sae Ron.
Others said that the information needed to be investigated by the authorities to avoid causing unfortunate noise.
Others said that this information was released by Kim Soo Hyun's company to have news that was beneficial to the actor's lawsuit.
Currently, the audience is still constantly arguing and standing on opposite sides. One side supports actor Kim Soo Hyun, while others say that the actor has a bad private life.
Previously, Kim Soo Hyun's side was suing the family of actor Kim Sae Ron for 12 billion won (about 217 billion VND), accusing them and Garo Sero Institute of violating the law on personal information protection when committing defamation.
Kim Soo Hyun's side confirmed that he had paid a large fee before filing a lawsuit in court. That is a type of litigation fee calculated by the court based on the value of the complaint based on the law. The compensation fee is 12 billion won, so the fee to file a lawsuit can be up to 38 million won.
Kim Soo Hyun's legal representative said in an interview with the Korean press: "We have paid the related costs without any problems."
From a famous actor, Kim Soo Hyun quickly became rumored to be a teenager after Kim Sae Ron's family accused her of dating. Although Kim Soo Hyun tried to deny it, he was continuously cut by advertising brands, facing the risk of compensation. The Disney+ giant has also announced the "suspending" of the knock-Off project due to Kim Soo Hyun's scandal, leading to the risk that the actor will have to pay 180 billion won.
