On August 23, actor Kim Soo Hyun appeared as a special guest in the live broadcast program "Mahakarya RCTI 37", celebrating the 37th anniversary of RCTI station, held in Jakarta, Indonesia.
RCTI's official social media account also revealed images and videos of Kim Soo Hyun present at the recording location.
The video recorded the scene of local fans enthusiastically cheering, even bursting into tears when Kim Soo Hyun appeared. A large number of fans gathered at the location, showing that the influence of the Korean actor has not changed.
Kim Soo Hyun got out of the car in a neat style, with a fresh appearance. He responded to the fans' affection with a radiant smile and a heart-shaped hand gesture. The actor also continuously waved hello excitedly to express his gratitude.
This schedule attracted attention early because this is the first official event Kim Soo Hyun has directly appeared in public, since he temporarily stopped operating due to allegations related to his private life.
Although he has been absent from art and entertainment activities for about a year, Kim Soo Hyun still shows a comfortable demeanor and the appeal of a "Hallyu star".
Previously, in March last year, Kim Soo Hyun was accused of dating the late actress Kim Sae Ron since she was a minor.
Later, through statements and press conferences, the star of "Queen of Tears" admitted to dating Kim Sae Ron, but refuted that the relationship only started after she grew up.
Kim Se Ui, head of the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute (Gaseyeon) - which put forward allegations related to Kim Soo Hyun - has been arrested and prosecuted on charges of defamation by disclosing false information and some other charges and is currently being detained.
In addition, on the 29th of last month, the Seongdong Police Station, Seoul decided not to transfer the file to the prosecution for the case of Kim Soo Hyun being accused of violating the Law on Child Welfare and slander, due to insufficient grounds.
While legal disputes are still ongoing, Kim Soo Hyun has recently started to return to activities, mainly abroad. He was chosen as a model for the Philippine fashion brand BENCH, appeared in promotional campaigns, and then directly met fans in Indonesia this time.
On October 2nd, Kim Soo Hyun is expected to hold a large-scale fan meeting at SM Mall of Asia Arena in Bay City, Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. This location is known for its capacity of about 20,000 people.
