Remarks from those around actor Kim Soo-hyun continue. Kim has maintained his silence throughout this time.
On the 30th, the late singer and actor Sulli's biological brother, Mr. A, posted on his social account, "Is it good to talk to my mom without talking to me, you man XX? Is the plan you thought of for the last 48 hours to silence me through a phone call with our mom? This is a real XX certification." This comment hints at an attempt at "silencing."
Mr. A has previously made significant accusations against Kim Soo-hyun, suggesting that the late Kim Sae-ron had been involved with him since her minor years, leading to the proliferation of suspicions regarding grooming crimes. He previously wrote, "Mr. Kim has much to say, but cannot. It will fall from a high place; hold on tight," and also remarked, "How can the people called fans be more unhelpful? I didn't even mention the name Soo-hyun, but you rushed at me. You must also be going crazy without fact-checking, right? For years, I have lived with the phrase, 'I guess there was nothing I could do.'" Additionally, he wrote, "Your life, my life, everyone's life is 'real,'" "sadist," and posts suggesting he was targeting Kim Soo-hyun, such as "It's been 6 years since I sent my brother; for 6 years you toyed with him, and for 6 years you will face the pain you receive, so don't break too quickly."
Afterward, on the 28th, he released a statement through a media outlet, requesting Kim Soo-hyun and director Lee Sa-rang (also known as I-ro-be), who is known to be his family, to respond to points such as ▲ the script not specifying bed scenes with Kim Soo-hyun when the late Sulli appeared in the movie 'Real' ▲ the body double presence at the scene without using a stand-in, pressuring Sulli into bed scenes and nude scenes ▲ on the day of filming those scenes, the body double was said to be unable to attend due to illness, while attendees testified that the body double was present.
After the statement was reported, Mr. A urged Kim Soo-hyun's camp for a swift response on his account, stating, "Golden, please respond soon. The answer I want is different from what you want to say."
Another person is director Lee Jung-seob, who was the previous director of 'Real.' Kim Soo-hyun starred in 'Real,' directed by Lee Sa-rang. Amid the controversy following the Sulli issue, this director made related remarks.
On the 29th, the director stated on social media, "I have no official credit as a director, so I have no right to clarify," but added, "However, to speak on what was said in the article, the production team did not allow me to be present at the initial stages of this audition," explaining that he was excluded from the selection process for fairness.
He explained, "I was able to meet about 8 actors selected by the production team and I directly picked one of them, and at that time, rookie actress Han Ji-eun was selected and joyfully filmed with me." He also added, "Rookie actor Jo Woo-jin also went through auditions and was thoughtfully selected, and I first met the insiders at a VIP premiere before the release. I came to work with both actors through public auditions." However, he reiterated, "Given that I have no director credit for 'Real,' I have no right to clarify this matter."
When some fans of Kim Soo-hyun claimed that this director was instigating, he responded, "I have been speaking like this for a long time, working quietly, and shared my personal, sad feelings that no one pays attention to. Suddenly, the media, which had been inactive, is just trying to use me to receive the advertisement fees they want. Nothing more, nothing less."
He emphasized that he does not want to be used by either netizens or the media, stating, "If you are a good fan of him, you need to check how his actions affect the world and act accordingly. I was once a passionate fan of his."
According to the past public audition notice for 'Real,' the two lead actresses were required to perform high-level exposure roles. According to claims from netizens who attended the audition, the auditions were conducted in an actual club, and they had to attend dressed as clubgoers for an 'audition that did not feel like auditioning.'
Following accusations regarding the late Kim Sae-ron's relationship with minors, the negative issues surrounding 'Real' have entangled Kim Soo-hyun, leading to increasing remarks directed at him. Therefore, all eyes are on Kim Soo-hyun's response.
