What a vile narcissistic sociopathic coward! He didn't apologize for what he did to Saeron and said they were just a "REGULAR couple who genuinely loved each other". He really didn't see anything wrong with him at 27 dating a girl at 15. And since he didn't accept questions, he ignored the question about when they met which could have led to questions of when he started pursuing Saeron which could have been when she was around 13 or younger, since her aunt said he pursued her for years before they dated. And what about the 700 million won debt he harassed Saeron about? He's just sorry "the deceased can't rest in peace" then totally showed his insincerity by suing her family fo12 billion won! He didn’t care about Saeron at all, much less apologize to her family. That press conference was for the benefit of his fans and probably Disney+. It was all about himself.

By definition, a press conference is a meeting where a public figure gives information and ANSWERS QUESTIONS. But KSH will not be answering questions, so what is the event for? An opportunity for him to tell more lies and slander a dead girl further without giving anybody else a chance to refute his lies and slander? The only acceptable reason for KSH to have a press conference without a question-and-answer portion would be if he APOLOGIZES to Saeron and her family and announces his RETIREMENT from the industry. Anything less would just prove his narcissistic and sociopathic cowardice.

He fooled the public for so long

Critical thinking, the ability to analyze available facts, evidence, observations, and arguments to make sound conclusions or informed choices. is what the process of brainwashing takes away from the subjects, who subsequently act like members of a cult. When KSH denied his relationship with KSR then retracted when her family showed evidence, when he denied going to her house and about being the guy washing the dishes in her house then threatened to sue the family for posting a photo of him without pants while washing dishes in her house, it was clear to critical thinkers that he is a LIAR. And considering his failure to protect her when she was being cyberbullied, her text to him about the debt he and GM have been torturing her to pay, his failure to attend her funeral and his continuing to bully a dead girl, another ugly truth about him came to light - his sadistic, unscrupulous, narcissistic and sociopathic nature. His cultish supporters, who have lost all critical thinking ability, can't see what is apparent to his ad sponsors, Disney+, the mayor of Taiwan and those clamoring for justice for KSR.

Scratching my head wondering why KSH and GM are trying their hardest to make a DEAD girl look as bad as they can make her. Don't they realize this doesn't erase his lies about not dating her, not going to her place, not washing the dishes, not pressuring her about her debt, or the fact that he ignored her cries for help and didn't attend her funeral? The only thing these attacks on a DEAD girl do is show clearly that KSH has no iota of honor, respectability, integrity, decency and humanity left in him.

I agree. Someone powerful instigated cutting the hot scenes that would have easily outshone the love scenes in LBFD.

I can't believe people still support this sicko. This is the reason perverts like him think they can keep being perverts. Even if you are not creeped out by a grown man grooming a minor, probably 12 or 13 years old since her parents found out they were dating when she was 15 and her aunt said ksh pursued ksr for years, put yourself in her shoes, when you're down and out and you receive a notice from his agency that you owe them 700 million won, an amount they told you before you didn't owe them. You try contacting him, but he doesn't answer. Instead, his agency sends another notice pressuring you to pay up. You don't have the money or a good job that can enable you to save that amount quickly. To get his attention, you post a photo of the two of you. Because of this, you are cyberbullied by his fans. He denies your relationship and leaves you to face the cyberbullying on your own. What would you feel? Saeron committed suicide because of this pervert's cruelty. And you still support him? I really don't think any person who can think logically would. So I would assume now that KSH "supporters" are just part of his water army that he paid to support him.

KSH/Gm have released an army to post pro-KSH content. They're spamming twitter, making it a pain to look for posts relating to this scandal. They're probably also here in mdl.

Your comment might have been reported by his fans or water army that KSH/GM have released on the internet. They are spamming twitter, making it a pain to read KSH content. Pure evil.

I think the low ratings were mainly caused by the change in cast.

Constant massive protest might move them

True. His past behavior and statements showed us he was mentally ill.

You’re right. He was a predator toying with his prey. Revolting! Regarding Kim Yoo Jung, that smile on his face before he hugged her was creepy. The girl’s face showed marked confusion. Didn’t anybody tell him it was inapproriate? I wonder if he was already marking her as a grooming prey then. Disgusting!

Is there a petition for Disney+ to drop him?

I thought he has top lawyers. If they are advising him on what to say to the press, they suck. Here is an excerpt of the Daily Mail report:
"Gold Medalist has since refuted claims that they pressured Sae-ron to pay her debt, instead insisting that they found a way to resolve the debt legally as she was unable to meet the payments."

If KSH and agency had found a way to resolve the debt legally, why didn't they tell Saeron? Why didn't KSH answer her calls and texts? She was begging him for help regarding the debt she was being pressured to pay. He is not just a pedophile. He's a sadist too. He really drove her to her death. He is a murderer.

I think most, if not all, people who are being groomed are unaware they are being groomed, unless they're a part of a sting operation

Playing the victim... I expected no less from him. Mentally ill people resort to this when backed in a corner. It's their attempt at shirking responsibility. What a manipulative liar. Playing the victim when he has money and his powerful agency behind him. Compare that to Saeron’s situation, with no money and no such powerful backer, harassed by his fans…

Mdl seems pro-ksh. He is among kdrama artists with the most fans on this platform. And his dramas since 2020 are overrated while those of other actors in his generation are thrashed and downrated. I had wondered before whether this platform started off as a publicity site for him.

But it's not on the home page unlike other new articles. One has to select Articles from Home dropdown to get to this. Same as when one searches for Kim Soo Hyun, his name is the last one in the search results. One has to scroll down to find him. It's like there some setting in mdl that tries to make it hard for users to access comment sections about him.
