In just one month, Kim Soo Hyun has gone from the most humble Hallyu star to the most controversial figure in South Korea, and while fans couldn't have imagined it in even their wildest dreams, a fortune teller had predicted his downfall in 2021.
According to a Kbizoom report, a YouTube channel ¡°LanSeon Bosal¡± (Online Bodhisattva), in a video uploaded on November 30, 2021 analysed Kim Soo Hyun¡¯s fate using only his birthdate. Amid the growing scrutiny in the wake of his alleged underage relationship with late actress Kim Sae Ron, the video has sparked renewed interest.
What did the monk say about Kim Soo Hyun?
In the video, the monk said that while he appears as this bright and cheerful person on the outside, his true image is different from his public persona. "People see Kim Soo Hyun as pure, but that¡¯s not entirely the case," she said.
Monk warned that scandals involving women could derail his career.
When asked if romantic relationships could affect his career, she responded, "Yes, women." She elaborated, "He may be drawn to nightlife and entertainment, but it ultimately depends on whether his personal life becomes public or not."
