Actor Kim Soo Hyun, will the controversy remain silent? Fandom divided: ”Explain” vs. ”Support”

Actor Kim Soo Hyun has been silent for three days until yesterday amid a series of controversies. The announcement of his position has been delayed, adding to the confusion.

The family of the late Kim Sae-ron held a second press conference on the 27th, revealing KakaoTalk messages exchanged between the two in 2016 (Kim Sae-ron was 16 years old) and other evidence of their relationship when they were minors.

At the time when the theory of their love affair was rumored due to the couple photo uploaded by Kim Sae-ron before his death, Kim Soo Hyun's side said, “I have no idea about the intention of such behavior,” but recently, when the allegation of grooming crime grew, they reversed their position that they had been dating after Kim Sae-ron had reached adulthood. The bereaved family presented evidence to the contrary, but Kim Soo-hyun has not spoken since the press conference.

In this context, the allegation that Kim Soo-hyun and his cousin Lee Sarang (Lee Robae), the representative of his agency, forced Sulli into a bed scene when they were filming the movie “Real” with the late Sulli (formerly of f(x)), also exploded. On the 28th, A, Sulli's brother, made an explanation to the three allegations: “It is alleged that a bed scene between the two was not specified in the script at first, that they persuaded Sulli and forced her to do a bed scene and a nude scene even though there was a substitute actor, and that the substitute actor who said he could not come to the scene because of pain was actually at the scene. The actor demanded an explanation for these three questions.

Director Lee Jung-seop, who got off halfway through the second half of the working stage of “Real,” also opened his mouth. The director was then replaced by Lee Sarang. He re-posted a statement to the effect that “the director Lee Jung-seop is not even 1% to blame for the way the film turned out,” and then said, “Thank you very much. I was really heartbroken for a long time,” he said, expressing his feelings. He also re-posted various statements criticizing Kim Soo Hyun in relation to the late Kim Sae-ron.

The fandom was still divided between those who supported Kim Soo-hyun and were waiting for him to make a statement and those who demanded an explanation as soon as possible and criticized him for his silence. The focus of attention is on what Kim Soo-hyun will have to say about the situation.
