On March 31, Kim Soo-Hyun made his first public appearance to face the disputes surrounding his personal life.
By opening the press conference in tears, he deeply bowed in the apologies and defined himself as a “coward” for causing problems to many people. He then firmly denied going out with Kim Sae-Sno when he was a minor and announced a legal action against the actress’s family and the Youtube channel Garo Sero Institute, asking for damage from 12 billion wins (about $ 9 million). After giving his statement, Kim Soo-Hyun left the place, escorted by his lawyer.
The unexpected question of a journalist
Despite the press conference that excludes a session of questions and answers, a journalist has challenged the rule. Just as Kim Soo-Hyun was about to leave, he asked aloud, “Mr. Kim Soo-Hyun, you can share when and where you met Kim Sae-Se-Se-Se-See for the first time? Reply to this shouldn’t be a problem, right? Please let us know when and where you met for the first time.”
Kim Soo-Hyun did not answer and moved away in silence. His refusal to answer has aroused heated online discussions. Some found his suspect reaction, questioning because he avoided a simple investigation. Others defended him, claiming to have already clarified his relationship with Kim Sae-S during the press conference.
Kim Soo-Hyun’s explanation on his past with Kim Sae-Sign
During the event, the actor born in 1988 reiterated that he and Kim Sae-Sore had only come out for a year, from 2019 to 2020. He also faced himself because previously he had denied their relationship when Kim Sae-Sore published romantic photos of them on social media last year.
Kim Soo-Hyun explained that his negation was worried about the impact on “Queen of Tears”, the drama he was working at that time. He did not want his past relationship to negatively influence his colleagues, the production team or his family.
While the opinions remain divided on his silence at the press conference, one thing is clear: the disputes surrounding Kim Soo-Hyun and Kim Sae-Sore are far from finite.
