Kim Soo Hyun Comes Under Fire From Overseas Fans Amid Allegations of a Past Relationship with Kim Sae Ron
Kim Soo Hyun Faces Backlash as International Fans Turn Their Backs!
The controversy surrounding actor Kim Soo Hyun and his alleged past relationship with Kim Sae Ron has ignited a firestorm among international fans. Accusations that he was involved with Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor have led to swift and intense reactions, particularly from overseas audiences, who are highly sensitive to issues of underage misconduct.
On March 16, videos surfaced online showing Kim Soo Hyun’s standees and posters being removed from public spaces. In one clip, a hospital staff member is seen taking down his standee, sarcastically commenting, "Collecting trash in the hospital." The symbolic act quickly gained traction on social media.
The backlash has been particularly strong in China, where Kim Soo Hyun once enjoyed massive popularity. Fan cafes have shut down, and negative posts about the actor are trending on Weibo. Meanwhile, a prominent international fan account with over 430,000 followers made a final statement, saying, "Goodbye to the actor I loved," marking a clear break from their past admiration.
At the heart of the controversy is a timeline dispute. Allegations claim that Kim Soo Hyun was romantically involved with Kim Sae Ron from 2016, when she was 16, lasting six years. However, the actor firmly denied this, stating their relationship only began in 2019 when she turned 19. In response, Kim Sae Ron’s family has rejected his claims and demanded an official apology.
As the scandal unfolds, the impact on Kim Soo Hyun’s career and reputation remains uncertain. What’s clear, however, is that his once-loyal international fanbase is rapidly turning away.
