Some of Kim Soo Hyun's fans released a statement titled ‘Statement in Support of Kim Soo Hyun’ via the Dcinside gallery on the afternoon of the 14th.
They wrote "Please respect Kim Soo Hyun's broadcasting activities. With the recent and continuing problems surrounding actor Kim Soo Hyun, some public opinion has been arguing that he should suspend his broadcasting activities. However, we are deeply concerned that actor Kim Soo Hyun should be removed from broadcasting based on one-sided allegations without fair consideration."
It continued, "His agency, through its official position, stated that 'it is not true that he had a relationship with the actor when she was a minor' and appealed, 'We would like to ask whether we have to taste all this due to the privacy that was disclosed without his consent.' However, some have taken issue with his broadcasting activities based solely on unverified claims. Under these circumstances, we would like to ask why they are forcing only one person, Kim Soo Hyun, to suspend his broadcasting activities."
They added "In the broadcasting industry these days, there are cases where people who have been named as perpetrators of workplace bullying are still continuing their broadcasting activities. Above all, politicians with legal problems have also continued their political activities for several years without incident until the Supreme Court's ruling, and have naturally completed their terms of office. Nevertheless, it is not fair to give a reading grade of immediate demotion to actor Kim Soo Hyun alone", they also argued.
They urged that "as an actor, Kim Soo Hyun has the right to respond positively in accordance with his position" and that "we hope that fair standards and slowdowns will be applied, not accusations based on unconfirmed allegations." Adding "Fans who support actor Kim Soo Hyun support him to do the right thing, reveal the truth and continue on his path as an actor."
On the morning of the 14th, Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, denied allegations that he had a passionate love affair with her since he was underage through an official position. They also explained that it was not true that they had demanded a debt of 700 million won.
His agency stated that "Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae-ron were in a relationship from the summer of 2019, after Kim Sae Ron became an adult, until the autumn of 2020. It is not true that Kim Soo Hyun had a relationship with Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor", and stated that “The photos that Kim Sae-ron published on her Instagram story in the early hours of the 24th March 2024 and on the 11th March 2025 on the YouTube ”Garosero Institute’ were all incorporated into a private image of the two people who were in a relationship on the same day in the winter of 2020", they argued.
Adding "There is a lot of criticism against Kim Soo Hyun regarding their relationship. Even if the relationship between two adults is a private area, Kim Soo Hyun's life, which receives a lot of love from many people, also deserves to be evaluated by the public, and if that evaluation is sharp criticism, it must be accepted even more seriously and painfully", and added, "However, due to Kaseyon's reports, even at this hour, a lot of wrong information and false facts are spreading as if they were the truth."
Kim Soo Hyun participated as scheduled in the recording of MBC's variety programme ‘Good Day’ at a certain place in Seoul on the 13th, when he was in trouble for allegedly dating Kim Sae-ron when she was a minors. Kim Soo Hyun's side initially informed the production staff that he would not be participating due to the regional filming of the Disney+ series ‘Knock Off’, but he eventually turned up at the recording site. However, the ‘Good Day’ side refrained from saying, "We minimised the planned schedule" in relation to the amount of filming Kim Soo Hyun had to do. The news of Kim Soo Hyun's participation in the filming also led to a flood of protest letters on the ‘Good Day’ viewers' message boards, demanding that Kim Soo Hyun be dropped from the show.
In relation to this, Kim Soo Hyun's official fanclub ‘Yukaris’ made it clear that they would remain with Kim Soo Hyun unchanged and that they would support him publicly. The management of ‘Yukaris’ stated, "The closure of the café and the de facto suspension of its operation are not true, and it is only temporarily closed to the public at present", and also promised that "Yukaris is a fan café, so we will always be with actor Kim Soo Hyun."
