Information that Kim Soo Hyun was caught with a thin, faded appearance in the Seongsu-dong area is attracting public attention. According to Korean media, an acquaintance accidentally met the actor a few days ago and commented that he "looks very tired, clearly thin".
This information quickly spread on social networks, raising concerns about the health status as well as the psychological pressure that Kim Soo Hyun may be facing.
Previously, the actor was involved in a controversy related to his relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron. Some sources say that the two dated when the actress was still a minor, but Kim Soo Hyun's side affirmed that the relationship only started when the other person was mature.
The incident later escalated into a legal dispute. Kim Soo Hyun sued Mr. Kim Se Ui (the person behind the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute that posted content about Kim Soo Hyun's scandal) on charges of slander and illegal surveillance, and took legal action against Kim Sae Ron's family because they believed the information provided was unverified.
Conversely, a cosmetics brand also filed a lawsuit against the actor, demanding compensation of about 2.8 billion won on the grounds that his personal image negatively affected the advertising contract. The two sides are still awaiting conclusions from the court.
Not only stopping there, Kim Soo Hyun's management company Gold Medalist is also said to be facing difficulties when some artists leave, affecting common activities.
However, to date, Kim Soo Hyun and his management company have not provided an official response to information related to his appearance or health condition. In the context that the cases are still being considered, many opinions suggest that information should be accessed cautiously, avoiding speculation when there is no clear conclusion.
