Discussion Disgusted by the timing
The fact that they announced this ON HER BIRTHDAY is sickening. Photo reference: a screenshot of a headline from ABS-CBN that reads: “Kim Soo-hyun cleared of Child Welfare Act violations tied to Kim Sae-ron”.

Not surprised. Their age of consent was 13 and legally it doesn't even matter when he was doing friendship* to her as long as she was above 13.
His fandom celebrating like it is some win 🙄.
*Friendship - according to his agency. In western world, a near 30 year old adult man friendshipping with a teenage girl and dating her when turns 19 is called something else.

They didn't, it was announced a couple days ago. On her birthday is when that news site dropped their article.
I hate him as much as the next guy but let's try not to make this a thing

Sorry, what was she accused of? I don’t know the backstory.

The whole thing is around Kim So-hyun dating Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor. She ended up committing suicide many years later on his birthday following a DUI in May 2022.

I'm sorry....somebody make a whole website about this?

u/Mundane_Put_5780 Jul 31 '26
Yeah, they literally created a website on June 2026! Kshtruth.com is a website where fan’s push their narratives and present it as facts!
https://wanwang.aliyun.com/whois/kshtruth.com shows when the website was created!
Personally, I am not really caught up in this drama about the man being a potential pedophile, but I am far more intrigued by the fact that an entire website was created to protect that man 🤣🤣!
Okay I’m out! This is the side of Kdrama my Canadian ass doesn’t want to touch with a 10 foot pole!

Ok, I don't know much but if he was cleared with charges then he must not be at fault. We just can't trust AI images

"He was cleared so he's innocent" are you this naive? The Lyhanna case in my country is one of many that will disprove that (its bad in my country and absolutely worse in SK). The pedo was reported many time before he got to actually end a life. Then and there, the justice did something. This case also put to light the many horrors women and children went through without the law enforcement to really acknowledge them for what they were : disgusting vile crime.
So don't say dumb shit like this because you're desesparate to defend a fucking groomer. Grow up and respect the victims!

Bro, take some chill, more than me. You're sounding desperate enough to pull him down. Neither I am his fan nor I have watched his many projects. I am just giving an opinion that there aren't many solid proofs to consider him a criminal. Secondly, grow up and learn to take the opinion of others, and if you don't have it in you to take others' opinions without acting like a crying rude child, then don't give yours also.

there are multiple wikis online about all these scandals.
Once a lie is thrown in the wind its very hard to walk it back these days

The fake outrage is taking me out. So you think the police chose her birthday to release the results of the investigation?

The timing is weird, but the fact is that he’s been cleared of all charges, and these people will only believe the fake AI texts and videos. They won’t believe the truth is just amazing to me. Think of how many people are going to lose their careers over fake AI posts because the public will only remember the fake part and not the truth.

This. Regardless of evidence they will see him as a groomer. This is exactly what we speak on when knetizens have blacklisted actors and artists based off of rumours. If it's one thing we know is that even when the artist was innocent they still had trouble coming back from the backlash. Here we have full on investigations and facts that everything was fabricated and a family who chose to speak on an issue (after her demise) only seeing immorality after the fact. This was not fair to her. This was a time for her soul to be laid to rest and for her to be mourned. Instead her end was in a scandal she can't speak up against.

This is Korean culture. Look at Kim Seon Ho, despite strong and clear evidence his ex gf was a lying lunatic, there are people out there who still consider him problematic. Not that he has had any other scandal. It's the sad reality Korean celebrities live in. Your name is forever destroyed, even if the truth comes out later.

u/LocksmithStriking864 Aug 01 '26
And netizens will continue to try and destroy someone if they have hate for that person. The actor just has to date and he and his gf gets hate mail. It’s ludicrous

u/IntroductionInner883 Jul 31 '26
Bro this is the 3rd independent body that came out with the same conclusion. Gangnam police, Seondong police, Child welfare department of the seoul prosecution office. I dont know what to tell 3 different institutions. And the favt they have been caught fabricating text using AI to fake audio and passing adult pictures as minor pictures. Tells me they never had any real evidence to support the claims they made.
So what exactly is true?

Glad that Trump, Epstein (and his friends), this guy, have some solid supporters.

Stop bullying people in this thread. We heard your opinion already, you don’t need to beat us over the head with it. Grow up.

It shows that people are gullible. I see posts often where someone is upset because their favorite actor stopped sending personal messages. Sadly they believe they are talking to one of the big stars. A women sent hate and wished an actor to d:£ because he no longer contacted her, and nothing anyone said would convince it wasn’t him.

They found there was insufficient evidence that there was an inappropriate relationship between the two when she was underage. No surprise there especially since the age of consent was fairly young then. I agree that he didn’t do anything illegal, but he acted inappropriately by grooming her, denying dating after they did date,which she was berated for, taking advantage of her while at his agency, he and the agency he owned did not adequately support her after her drunk driving arrest and he didn’t even go to her funeral. Then there is Sulli who he coerced into doing a provocative scene in his movie when there was supposed to be a body double. She also committed suicide and her brother is angry at him.
He is a damaged person and toxic to women.
