The dating controversy with Kim Sae Ron continues to stir debate
Kim Soo Hyun has been under heavy scrutiny ever since rumors surfaced that he had dated Kim Sae Ron when she was still a minor. While he strongly denied any underage involvement, he did acknowledge that they had been in a relationship.
Her family has since spoken out, calling for accountability and clarity, which added even more pressure to the already tense atmosphere. In the aftermath, several major brands quickly distanced themselves from Kim Soo Hyun, and his much-anticipated Disney+ project Knock Off has been put on indefinite hold.
The actor has stayed completely out of the public eye since the news broke, except for his press meeting in March. Still, fan-led events like the Hong Kong screening and support trucks by Chinese fans in Korea show that many are standing by him, believing that the full story has yet to be told.
