'All-black and innocent look'! Netizens knew what Kim Soo-hyun was set to wear for his 'tearful' press conference

After weeks of growing speculation, actor Kim Soo-hyun has finally addressed allegations surrounding his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. Speaking at a press conference on Monday, March 31, the Queen of Tears star, accompanied by his lawyer Kim Jong-bok, delivered an emotional statement refuting claims that he had pressured Kim Sae-ron over a debt or been involved in an inappropriate relationship with her as a minor.

The controversy deepened when Kim Sae-ron's family and the YouTube channel Garosero Institute publicly accused Kim Soo-hyun of being involved in the actress's tragic death. In his first official response, he acknowledged past mistakes but strongly denied the allegations, vowing to clear his name.

Netizens predict his press conference look

As discussions about his statement continued, many noted that netizens had already predicted Kim Soo-hyun's appearance even before the press conference. On X (formerly Twitter), users speculated that he would arrive in an all-black outfit, looking slightly disheveled yet innocent, and would shed tears during his statement.

It turns out they were right. As soon as the conference aired, social media was flooded with reactions about the actor's look.

One user wrote: "All-black outfit (tick) Full makeup (tick) Fake tears (tick) No guilt (tick) No remorse (tick) Give Kim Soo-hyun all the acting awards for this press conference."

What did Kim Soo-hyun say?

Visibly shaken, Kim Soo-hyun opened his statement with an apology. "First of all, I am sorry. Because of me, so many people are suffering. And I feel sorry that the late actress isn't able to rest in peace," he said, as translated by Korea JoongAng Daily.

Reflecting on his past, the actor admitted that he had often prioritized maintaining his public image over honesty. "I consider myself a coward. I have always been too preoccupied with holding on to what I have. I couldn¡¯t even trust the goodwill that came my way, always fearing loss, harm, and running away¡ªdenying everything," he confessed.

Despite his emotional plea, reactions remain divided, with some expressing sympathy while many others remain skeptical of his intentions.
