New claims regarding actor Kim Soo-hyun have been raised, adding to the confusion.
On the 26th, Money Today reported that Kim Soo-hyun dated actor A, who is a former idol, for three years from 2016 to 2019. According to the report, Kim Soo-hyun and A developed a friendship as junior and senior colleagues at the same agency, and it is known that Kim Soo-hyun broke up with A around the spring of 2019, three months before his discharge from military service.
The suspicion regarding Kim Soo-hyun's relationship with a minor is a very sensitive and complex issue that goes beyond the entertainment industry. The core of the matter is the actual timing of the relationship between Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron, and whether Kim Sae-ron was a minor at that time is the key issue. At the same time, reports have emerged suggesting he was also dating actor A, complicating the matter further.
So far, Kim Soo-hyun's side has noted that "the relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron was between 2019 and 2020, after the deceased had turned 18." This is the only fact that Kim Soo-hyun's side has admitted regarding the controversy surrounding the deceased.
However, the family and Gaseyeon claim that Kim Sae-ron started dating Kim Soo-hyun from the end of 2015, meaning it was when the deceased was 15 years old.
The new claim suggests that Kim Soo-hyun was dating actor A from 2016 to 2019. The claim is that it was "not simultaneous dating."
Currently, Kim Soo-hyun's side is proceeding with lawsuits for defamation, violation of the Information and Communications Network Act, totaling 12 billion won in damage claims, and violations of the Stalking Punishment Act against the family and Gaseyeon.
The problem is that interpretations regarding different pieces of evidence (photos, messages, videos, etc.) are conflicting, and scientific analysis is not definitive due to sample limitations. Consequently, public opinion is also divided.
The release of Kim Soo-hyun's upcoming Disney+ drama "Knock-Off" is currently on hold. It was originally scheduled for release in April 2025, but as the controversy surrounding the timing of Kim Soo-hyun's relationship with Kim Sae-ron intensified, Disney+ decided to postpone the release after careful consideration. Attention is focused on what conclusion Kim Soo-hyun, who declared to "go all the way," will ultimately reach.
