Korean Star Kim Soo-hyun Sparks Controversy with Inappropriate Comments

A recent post on the popular Korean forum TheQoo titled “Kim Soo-hyun in this video acted so pervertedly that I remember it” has captured significant attention, amassing nearly 160, 000 views and over 500 comments. The discussion revolves around a video featuring Kim Soo-hyun with U-KISS member Kevin Woo, who was just 19 years old at the time of filming.

Questionable Remarks Raise Eyebrows

In the video, Kim Soo-hyun made several comments that many interpreted as inappropriate. Notably, at the 1:10 mark, while Kevin was expressing his feelings about crying in front of a mirror, Kim Soo-hyun remarked, “But your way of talking is really cute.” This comment took Kevin by surprise, prompting an awkward silence, with subtitles reading, “Soo-hyun, what’s wrong with you…”.As if that weren’t enough, Kim Soo-hyun proceeded to stroke Kevin’s hand, further intensifying the discomfort among viewers.

More Inappropriate Comments

At approximately 3:25 into the video, Kim Soo-hyun made an even more questionable statement, suggesting that Kevin, who hailed from San Francisco, felt good to touch. Han Seungyeon, another participant in the discussion, quickly interjected with “What are you saying?” The subtitles again reinforced the awkwardness of the moment, saying, “Soo-hyun… Kevin is still young.”

Netizens Respond

Upon viewing this video, social media users expressed their concern regarding Kim Soo-hyun’s behavior. The comments ranged from bewilderment to outright condemnation:

Why was he stroking the other’s hand like that… This is disgusting.
This feels so perverted…
Ah, so this guy does that to both men and women.
The first remark was fine, but his actions and comments afterwards are weird.
His gaze towards Kevin was questionable too.

Context of Recent Controversies
