Sulli’s Brother Criticizes Kim Soo-hyun’s Q&A Exclusion: “Is This Really a Press Conference?”

Controversy Surrounds Kim Soo-hyun’s Press Conference

On March 31, Kim Soo-hyun organized an emergency press conference that triggered a social media outburst from Sulli‘s older brother, Mr. A.Using Instagram as his platform, he harshly criticized Kim for the manner in which the event was conducted, especially lamenting the absence of a question-and-answer session.

“Asking dozens of reporters to attend a press conference with no Q&A is quite the farce, ” he remarked, demonstrating his dissatisfaction with the restrictive format. He continued his commentary with a sarcastic note, suggesting, “I might as well be a celebrity myself. Although I’m not an expert, I believe I could manage a press conference far better than this.”

Details of the Press Event

The press conference, taking place in Seoul, marked Kim Soo-hyun’s first public engagement amidst growing controversies, notably involving allegations associated with the late Kim Sae-ron and the late Sulli’s part in the film “Real.”

Just a day before the event, his agency, Gold Medalist, had released a statement addressing the upcoming conference, expressing regret over “recent concerns” and revealing that Kim aimed to speak personally to the media. Accompanying him was his legal advisor, attorney Kim Jong-bok from LKB & Partners, who presented a formal statement on Kim’s behalf.

Public Reaction and Consequences

The decision to forgo a Q&A segment has sparked further backlash, with observers considering it a failed opportunity for Kim to address critical issues directly. Instead, many viewed the press gathering as a calculated strategy for damage control, lacking the transparency audiences expected.

As families of both Kim Sae-ron and Sulli publicly express their grievances, the mounting pressure on Kim Soo-hyun becomes increasingly palpable. With public sentiment shifting and numerous questions remaining unresolved, it remains unclear if this highly controlled appearance will rehabilitate his image or further diminish the trust of both fans and the broader public.
