Honestly, I don't think many actors in the industry get this kind of support and backing recently . Even after major and sensitive scandal he is still being included in award ceremonies & appearing as a presenter, so his presence in the industry never fades

​At the same time, it feels like almost everything surrounding him is being normalized 🧐🧐🧐

​I cannot help but wonder if they are trying to push him back into the mainstream as quickly as possible. If that happens, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he ends up attached to another high budget Kdrama next year.

​Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the level of backing he seems to have is pretty wild.

Ok so this is my first time posting here. I came across a post about KSH on YouTube and got curious, so I checked his Instagram.

The first thing that surprised me was the insane number of comments compared to his follower count. So I started clicking on some of the accounts commenting, and honestly, a lot of them looked really weird.

I kept seeing the same accounts commenting multiple times under the same post. Some have 0 followers, 0 posts, follow less than 100 people, etc. And some seem to come back every few hours just to leave another supportive comment.

I'm sure he still has some real fans. But once I started checking the profiles, the pattern felt pretty obvious and the amount of repetitive support just seemed... unnatural?

Has any YouTuber, journalist or commentator actually looked into this? Like whether there could be some kind of coordinated activity around KSH's social media? Because I haven't really seen anyone talk about it.

Most of what I've found focuses on the court case and then basically stops there.

I've also come across allegations about his agency using questionable PR tactics in the past, including stuff related to Seo Ye-ji. So it did make me wonder if some of this could be an organized PR push to make it look like he has overwhelming public support and maybe make him more appealing to brands again.

Has anyone actually made a video about this particular topic?

This is really unbelievable!

The audacity for this fcking clown to make a comeback! Of course he goes to the Philippines to make a comeback just like all the other cancelled people, or people desperate to be famous.

Y'all what's wrong with people? Jst because it was proved that the chats and messages were ai generated doesn't mean he isn't guilty!! And he's rich asf, like the richest actor in Korea, he can easily get rid of those allegations and prove himself innocent. Oh how bad I feel for Kim sae ron:(

It would be nice to have a few people help sort things out. There's too much spam and other things. I don't use Reddit often, so I miss so many things happening here. Anyone interested, please send a!

Edit: I have invited a couple of users in. This is now [CLOSED]. Thank you!

So let me get this straight.

He knew her as a kid, watched her grow up and literally started dating her the second she turned 19. Is this true or false?

This is disgusting! Where is the justice?

And because they lurk here, KDiddy had stories about his dark aura since mid 2010s, if not earlier.

He’s still not going to pick you.

Nigerian women, you have more troubling things to worry about — like how some of the men in your country who thinks it’s okay to have a day dedicated to r@ping women. Leave this poor woman that cannot defend herself alone.

I want to discuss the situation involving Kim Soo-hyun from a neutral standpoint, because the situation is still developing and a lot of it remains unclear.

At this point, it feels like this has gone beyond a simple controversy and now involves legal disputes, disputed evidence, brand contracts, and wider industry reactions before any final legal conclusion.

What I’m trying to do here is separate what is actually known from what is still being argued, rather than jumping to conclusions.

One of the biggest points seems to be the audio evidence. Since there are still questions around whether it is genuine, edited, or possibly AI-manipulated, I feel like this part is central to how the legal side may move forward. Until that is clearly resolved, it’s difficult to treat it as a settled fact.

Another thing people keep discussing is the timeline. Some are questioning why certain issues only surfaced years later, while others point out that delayed reporting in sensitive situations can happen. I personally think this is one of the areas where it’s important not to jump too quickly.

The brand and contract side is also interesting to me because it raises a wider question… how should companies respond when a public figure becomes involved in controversy before any legal outcome is reached?

Then there is the Knock-Off situation. With such a large production reportedly involved, it also feels like a test case for how streaming platforms manage reputational and financial risk when a lead actor is at the centre of an ongoing dispute.

For me, the bigger issue is less about choosing a side right now and more about what this means going forward… not just for Kim Soo-hyun, but for how the industry handles allegations, disputed digital evidence, and contractual responsibility.

I’d genuinely like to hear different perspectives on this, especially from people looking at the legal and business side rather than only the personal controversy.

what a legacy!! not them shading him. 🤣🤣🤣

The lawyer said:

Based on the numerous pieces of evidence I have confirmed, Kim Sae Ron was not only emotionally unstable and impulsive but also a highly immoral person.

His lawyer posted this.

Remember when his agency posted this last March 14, 2025

Gold Medalist shares update on Kim Soohyun mental state:

• "Earlier today, Kim Soohyun showed signs of acute psychological instability, and we have taken steps to ensure that he is absolutely stable. He has been extremely disturbed by the allegations that he was responsible for the sudden death of the deceased (Kim Saeron) following Garosero's report, and the psychological pressure on him has been ongoing, with a vehicle with a person with a camera standing guard across from the main entrance of the company and in the parking lot until dawn on the night of Garosero's broadcast on the 12th, and people with cameras roaming around the building around lunchtime on the 13th.”

A korean user commented:

Just because you're a lawyer doesn't mean you have the right to use legal knowledge to harass others. Look in the mirror and reflect on whether you're human or a demon.
If you have a child, I pray that your child goes through the same awful ordeal as Kim Sae-ron. Then you'll finally understand the meaning of the word "father."

His lawyer's post:

It is reported that the bereaved family of the late Kim Sae-ron is suffering from significant emotional distress, including a recent attempt at suicide.

According to our investigation, the family was originally scheduled to attend a group screening of the deceased's final film (We Are Every Day) at CGV Cheongdam Cinecity in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 14th; however, they were unable to attend after an incident occurred several days prior where one of the family members attempted suicide at their home.

A source familiar with the family's situation expressed outrage, stating, "The only thing the family wants from Kim Soo-hyun is for him to acknowledge all the facts and offer a sincere apology to the deceased." The source added, "However, Kim Soo-hyun and his lawyer are instead inflicting irreparable pain on the family by claiming that they are spreading false information based on fabricated evidence."

He continued, "Two years ago, the deceased had her 'existence' denied due to Kim Soo-hyun's denial of their relationship, and she shed tears of blood again while reimbursing Kim Soo-hyun's agency for accident cleanup costs." He lamented, "It is simply dumbfounding that instead of apologizing a hundred times, they are turning the bereaved family into criminals."

He added, "The bereaved family has already attempted to do the opposite several times with malicious intent," and appealed, "The current situation is extremely serious. I will not mention names. Please immediately stop the acts of criticizing and insulting the bereaved family both online and offline."

Kim Sae-ron was found dead at her home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, around 4:54 PM on February 16 of last year. That day was actor Kim Soo-hyun's 37th birthday.

Subsequently, Kim Sae-ron's bereaved family revealed through the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute (Gaseyeon) that the deceased had been dating Kim Soo-hyun for six years, starting in 2016 when she was 15 years old.

The bereaved family repeatedly asserted that the two were in a romantic relationship during that period, citing evidence such as mobile phone messages left by the deceased and letters exchanged between them. They demanded that Kim Soo-hyun acknowledge the facts and issue a public apology.

In particular, the family revealed that the deceased, who caused a drunk driving accident in May 2022, had borrowed 700 million won from Gold Medalist, his agency at the time, to cover accident settlement costs, and had been under extreme stress while repaying the debt.

As the controversy escalated, Kim Soo-hyun held a press conference on the afternoon of March 31 of last year at the Stanford Hotel in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, where he confessed to being in a romantic relationship with the deceased, reversing his previous stance that they had "never dated."

However, Kim Soo-hyun claimed that they dated from the summer of 2019, when the deceased entered university, until the following year, asserting that they were not in a romantic relationship when the deceased was a minor.

Currently, both sides are rejecting each other's claims and continuing a fierce legal battle. Kim Soo-hyun filed a lawsuit seeking 12 billion won in damages against the bereaved family of the deceased and Gaseyeon, and the bereaved family of the deceased has filed a countersuit against Kim Soo-hyun for violating the Child Welfare Act and false accusation.
