Controversy Surrounds Kim Soo Hyun Amid Kim Sae Ron’s Passing
On February 16, a poignant day marked by the passing of actress Kim Sae Ron and coinciding with Kim Soo Hyun‘s 37th birthday, a celebratory Instagram story was shared by the actor. Despite the tragedy that unfolded shortly thereafter, Kim Soo Hyun chose not to remove his birthday post, leading to intense backlash on the Chinese social media platform Weibo.

Backlash and Accusations
The decision to maintain his birthday tribute even after news broke about Kim Sae Ron’s death was met with outrage. Many users have criticized Kim Soo Hyun as being insensitive, accusing him of indirectly contributing to Kim Sae Ron’s tragic circumstances while celebrating his own life.
Korean media reports allege that Kim Soo Hyun pressured Kim Sae Ron to repay a substantial debt of 700 million won (approximately $523, 000) during a tumultuous period in her life. Furthermore, it has been suggested that he may have leaked personal information about her to the press, actions that potentially exacerbated her state of distress.
Support Amidst Criticism
Amid this ordeal, some fans have voiced support for Kim Soo Hyun, arguing that the backlash he is facing may be disproportionate. They emphasize that his birthday post was made prior to the official confirmation of Kim Sae Ron’s death. Additionally, the actor’s agency issued a statement offering condolences, expressing sympathy towards Kim Sae Ron’s family in light of her tragic passing.

Emerging Scandals and Allegations
This incident has escalated into what is considered the most significant crisis of Kim Soo Hyun’s career. The controversial YouTube channel, Garo Sero Research Institute, which has disseminated the allegations against him, has indicated that he may soon face formal accusations related to an inappropriate relationship with a minor.
On March 11, at 7 PM (KST), the channel hosted a live broadcast detailing these further revelations, capturing widespread attention across Asia. The broadcast featured shocking images from Kim Sae Ron’s past and disclosed conversations between her and a family member that implicate Kim Soo Hyun and his management.
