According to Korean media, recently, the older brother of the late singer and actress Sulli, Choi, posted on social media a mysterious message with the content: "At the moment you try to return, the second round will begin. The choice is yours".
When there was a curious comment about who the post mentioned, Sulli's brother replied: "A guy from the stars". This response immediately made the public speculate that Choi was targeting Kim Soo Hyun, because he is the male lead of the movie "My Love from the Star".
Choi's post reappeared right after the Korean police released the results of the investigation related to the case of Kim Soo Hyun and the late actor Kim Sae Ron. Therefore, viewers believe that Sulli's brother deliberately posted an article warning Kim Soo Hyun in a situation where the actor may return to entertainment activities after the scandal.
Previously, in March last year, Choi spoke out accusing Kim Soo Hyun of putting pressure on Sulli during the filming of the movie "Real", suspecting that the late actor was forced to film nude scenes even though there was a stuntman.
At that time, Kim Soo Hyun's management company - Gold Medalist - responded that: "Regarding Sulli's bed scenes, the actress was informed and knew the content of the scene before participating in filming.
Meanwhile, on May 21, South Korean media reported that the Procuracy had proposed an arrest warrant for Kim Se Ui - head of YouTube channel Garo Sero - for defaming and harming Kim Soo Hyun's honor.
The police, after the investigation process, also concluded that the accusation that Kim Soo Hyun had a romantic relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor was not true.
According to the arrest warrant application from the Gangnam Police Department (Seoul), YouTuber Kim Se Ui is accused of spreading false information about Kim Soo Hyun for economic motives, such as revenue from YouTube.
KakaoTalk conversations that Kim Se Ui released in March last year as evidence for the romantic relationship between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were also identified as being edited.
According to police, Kim Se Ui received from the family of the late actress 11 screenshots of conversations between Kim Sae Ron and an unidentified person from 2016, then edited a total of 7 locations, including changing the name of the interlocutor to "Kim Soo Hyun".
In addition, the recording released by Kim Se Ui in May 2025, which is said to have the voice of Kim Sae Ron, confessing that she dated Kim Soo Hyun from middle school, was also concluded to be a fake artificial intelligence (AI) product.
After the police released the investigation results, the public is paying attention to whether Kim Soo Hyun can return to artistic activities and restore his reputation.
