I know we don’t know the full story yet, and maybe there’s more going on behind the scenes than we realize… but it still hurts. 😭😭😭 First it was The Only One, and now this? Why does it feel like the shows we love most are the ones that slip through our fingers?
I’m genuinely devastated. Top Form was more than just another BL — it was something special. It had heart, chemistry, and meaning. And now Season 2 feels like a dream slipping away.
Why now, when Smart is at the height of his career? I know he hasn’t said anything directly, so I want to give him grace — but from what we’ve seen so far, it’s hard not to feel abandoned. I get that he wants to focus on his solo path, and that’s his right. But walking away from a project that brought so much joy to so many people? It just feels like a punch to the gut.
I hope this is all part of the storyline, or some clever promo twist — especially since the real-life situation reflects the show’s plot in such an eerie way. But if it’s real, if this is truly the end… it’s heartbreaking.
I know it’s his decision. I respect his freedom to choose his path. But I also wish he considered everyone who supported him, everyone who believed in this story and wanted to see it continue. We’re not just fans — we’re people who connected with something real.
I’m still holding out hope. For a miracle, for an announcement, for anything that gives us a second chance at this story. Because right now, all I feel is sadness and confusion.
You mean what he’s been accused of? Because so far, everything has been baseless allegations, supported by what appears to be fabricated evidence. I’m not proud of how closely I’ve followed this case, but I know the details inside and out—and based on everything I’ve seen, I genuinely believe KSH is innocent. That might not be a popular opinion, and I completely understand if others disagree. I’m not saying this as a fan, just as someone who has kept up with the situation closely.
He admitted to dating her when she was 19, and while I won’t defend that decision—it was questionable—there’s a huge difference between dating someone at 13 and dating someone at 19. If what he said is true, then KSR was legally an adult and capable of making her own choices. Some women choose to date older men, and their relationship lasted about a year before ending like many relationships do.
I’ll try to keep this short, especially since I’ve already shared my thoughts in this comment section before. So yes, I’m aware of the allegations. But at the end of the day, these things should be handled in court—not by strangers on the internet playing judge and jury.
KSR is no longer here to share her side, and KSH has already been cast as the villain in the public eye. So naturally, many people won’t give him the benefit of the doubt. But if he is telling the truth, then he’s been a victim too—his life torn apart, dissected, and judged for public consumption.
I’m not here to change anyone’s mind. People are entitled to their own perspectives, and it’s okay if we don’t all agree. But it’s important to remember that public narratives are often shaped by emotion, not facts—and not everyone is willing to question that.
He said she was 19, and if that’s true, then KSR was old enough to know what she wanted. She’s not some weak,…
You're right. I honestly don't want to be involved in the whole drama, but I can't help myself. I just feel kind of bad for KSH. I used to believe what people were saying about him too, but then I did my own research—and I'm telling you, if KSH haters just opened their eyes a little, they'd see the truth. Everything was manipulated—even the dinner video. They twisted it to make it look like she cooked for him and that they were alone at home, but that wasn’t the case at all.
I wish I could send pictures here to show you. The only reason I even remembered I had commented here was because of that "get a life" reply.
And honestly, sometimes I feel like people who spread lies, hate, and accuse someone of being a pedo without proper evidence or justice deserve to be called out. They can't just say anything and not be held accountable.
Well, I know you can never stop haters, but that doesn't mean you can't try. I'm going to avoid commenting for now, but If KSH wins, best believe everyone’s gonna hear about it. I’ll be spreading it like the gospel, lol
He said she was 19, and if that’s true, then KSR was old enough to know what she wanted. She’s not some weak,…
I’m someone who writes long essays — that’s just how I process and express myself. You questioned why anyone would defend someone accused of something so serious. But that same energy should apply both ways — why rush to condemn someone without undeniable proof? I understand having doubts, but outright calling him a pedophile when he hasn’t been proven guilty is not only reckless, it’s harmful. Accusations aren’t verdicts. Blind outrage doesn’t equal justice, and choosing to stay objective doesn’t mean supporting the crime — it means respecting the process.
I talked about the age gap, and I still stand by what I said — people have preferences. I know women who exclusively date older men, and they’re genuinely happy in those relationships. If you’re going to judge a case, fairness should be the bare minimum.
For the record, I wasn’t even a fan of KSH. I only watched him in It’s Okay to Not Be Okay — that was it. At first, I also found it suspicious that she passed on his birthday, until it was clarified that she was found that day, not that she died then. And let’s not forget: there was no autopsy. We still don’t know her official cause of death.
How many times did KSR’s family and the YouTuber say they would stop posting photos — either out of concern for KSH’s mental health or because everything had already been submitted to the police? Yet they kept posting. I’m not defending him — I’m pointing out inconsistencies. And those inconsistencies are too significant to ignore. What some are calling “proof” is mostly built on assumptions and emotional manipulation.
KSR’s family weaponized public emotion, and the media amplified it — planting seeds of doubt. This isn’t a case of “he must have done it,” it’s “he could have done it.” And that uncertainty has become the foundation for so many people’s conclusions. I’m not here to judge anyone — we all come from different places, and naturally, our perspectives vary. But I believe in “innocent until proven guilty.” And I refuse to condemn someone without clear, solid evidence.
So why are people still obsessing over supposed “lies” when the case is in court? If you really care about the truth, wait for the legal process. I could go into detail about how Garo Sero manipulated the narrative online, but to you, it would probably just sound like another “long essay.” So I’ll keep it simple: if KSH is lying, then so is KSR’s side — their stories have been inconsistent from the start.
They haven’t even shown up for a single press conference, yet KSH gets mocked for crying in his. Be real. Before being an actor, he’s a human being.
Why follow a narrative from people who keep shifting their story? KSH has stayed consistent. He said they weren’t dating at the time — and they weren’t. He said he never went to her family home — and there’s been no proof that he did. The only footage shows him at her place when she was 20 — which they use to push their version of the story. He said he didn’t date her as a minor, and that’s what he’s working to prove in court.
I’ll admit, I’ve followed this case closely — maybe too closely. But it’s everywhere: Facebook, TikTok, X. And what I see is a rush to judgment that’s destroying someone’s entire life and career without a fair trial.
If he’s guilty, then justice should be served. But if he’s not, he doesn’t deserve to be publicly ruined based on emotion and speculation alone.
KSR supporters are just KSH haters—no one can change my mind. Why else would you be praying for his downfall this much? Like I keep saying, they're fighting this in court, so what’s stopping you from waiting for the real truth? The inconsistencies in her family’s statements and the YouTuber’s story are so obvious. If you genuinely wanted to know the truth, you would.
You’re out here hoping his movie never gets released—just say you’re a hater. You haven’t done anything to help KSR’s family: no donations, no flowers at her grave, no real support. I think you should pray that KSR’s family actually wins the case with their fabricated evidence first—then maybe you can talk about his movie.
How will you feel if he wins the case? Remorseful? Or will you just find a new way to invalidate it? I’m not even a KSH fan, but it’s wild how blinded people are by sympathy and hate. They can’t accept anything that doesn’t keep KSH as the villain.
Garo and her family never gave us even one forensic report, despite promising multiple times. And let’s be clear—the age gap between KSH and KSR is not a crime. People who keep bringing it up need to get off their high horses. KSR was old enough. I hate how people treat her like she was some helpless, incompetent fool who couldn’t think for herself.
And anyone who believes that Knock Off won’t be a hit if it gets released, or that their 'boycott' will affect the movie’s success, is lying to themselves. Hate sells too. So instead of praying for his downfall, how about doing something that actually matters—like donating or showing real support?
He said she was 19, and if that’s true, then KSR was old enough to know what she wanted. She’s not some weak,…
So I said 'innocent until proven guilty'—and that’s your cue to spread hate? I don’t know who you are, but that energy will get you nowhere. Try using your brain; it won’t kill you. Jumping on a hate train just because it’s popular doesn’t make you right—it makes you a follower. If you disagreed, you could’ve made a point instead of proving mine. Think what you want, but I’m not a troll, and I don’t find joy in hate. Wishing you better days.
He said she was 19, and if that’s true, then KSR was old enough to know what she wanted. She’s not some weak,…
I’m so confused — this isn’t about religion. If you don’t believe in God, that’s fine, but I’m not going to debate whether He’s real or not. I believe in Him, and that’s enough.
This is about KSH, and I believe in “innocent until proven guilty.” The age gap isn’t the crime — the issue is whether he dated her as a minor. The case is currently in court, so focus on that.
And even if she was 18 "the legal age" he is her senior by 13 years and she was a naive teenage girl when u are…
He said she was 19, and if that’s true, then KSR was old enough to know what she wanted. She’s not some weak, dumb child like you guys are making her out to be. The age gap might be morally wrong to you, but people have preferences — we shouldn’t judge because we aren’t them. His "lies" are:1. They weren’t dating currently.2. He didn’t date her as a minor.3. He never went to her parents' house. Even if he lied, that’s still not proof that he dated her as a minor — which is the actual crime here. I’m not even a fan of his, but if you're going to make accusations as heavy as the ones KSR’s family made, then you should back it up with clear evidence, not fabricated lies and emotional manipulation.
Girl, you're not better than anyone. He’s literally fighting a defamation case in court. If KSR’s family is telling the truth, they’ll win. It’s that simple. The inconsistency in their story is so obvious, but you're too blinded by your morally righteous self to see it.
I feel like you guys are only seeing KSH as a rich man and KSR’s family isn't wealthy. I don’t even understand your thought process. There’s nothing wrong with age-gap couples — it’s their life and they should decide how to live it.
What her parents are doing isn’t justice; it’s public humiliation. This isn’t honoring her in any way. And who’s to say KSR wanted this to happen? It’s her story to tell, not her family’s. She didn’t leave a final note or anything. This case is a whole circus
In this life, always make sure you know what you’re saying. Karma is very real, girl. It’s innocent until proven guilty — not the other way around. You're not the law or God to decide who is guilty.
Let them go to court and get proper justice. Now that they’ve claimed he slept with her when she was 13 — which is a crime in Korea — if he’s guilty, he’ll be punished. Don’t worry. Seeing things for what they are, not just what you want to see, won’t kill you.
His PR move is a lawsuit. If he wins the case, he’ll be cleared of all allegations. People who truly want the truth will care. But people like you — who’ve already made up their minds — will still find a way to invalidate his win. But no matter how much you hide the truth, it will always come out eventually.
Whoever wins the case was the real victim all along. And God won’t let anything bad happen to them. He always fights for His people.
KSH is not only a p3do, but also responsible for Sullis death and Seo Yea Jis blacklisting in South Korea. yall…
Honestly, you've said it all. I don't understand why people bring up Sulli and Seo Yea-ji as proof that he's this or that. They obviously just want to make him look like a bad person without any evidence.
Sulli was bullied to the point where I remember watching an Instagram live where she saw a hate comment and looked so hurt. She said things like, “Why do people hate me so much?” and “Why do people care what I do so much?” The movie Real happened in 2017, and she sadly passed in 2019. She was already a controversial figure—she dated openly, she was a feminist, she was outspoken in a country where just reading a feminist book gets you hate. She talked about her mental health too. She basically wanted to be free, but netizens didn't let her. She broke all the rules that an idol or Korean celebrity isn't supposed to break.
Blaming her fellow actor for her death is inhumane. He wasn't the director or the scriptwriter—he was just an actor. The movie wasn’t even that popular, and I'm sure he didn’t receive much praise from it either. If she was truly uncomfortable, she should have gone to her agency at the time and shared her discomfort. Plus, she was already getting hate before that movie—the hate just piled on. You can’t blame someone for haters. Haters hate for no reason. I don’t understand why people link him to Sulli at all.
Someone said it’s because he didn’t help—but this is an industry where you're left to fend for yourself when things get tough. Korean celebrities are known to distance themselves from someone if that person becomes controversial. KSH is an example of that—his friends are literally unfollowing him now, maybe not because they want to, but because jobless trolls are spamming their comment sections urging them to unfollow.
This whole case is ridiculous. Even Seo Yea-ji said she doesn't want to be linked to everything and that people shouldn't mention her name again. Like, why do people want them to be victims so badly? KSH shouldn't be blamed. He's not the netizens who send hate or wish people death. He’s not her agency. If she truly felt uncomfortable, she should’ve reported it. He's not Korea—or the parts of the world that obsess more over women's nudity than men's.
Some people are blaming him because he didn’t help—but what could he have done? Risk his image for someone he wasn’t even close to? People are asking for too much, knowing full well they wouldn't do it themselves.
Why didn’t he pay her debt? Why didn’t he come to her funeral? Why didn’t he defend Sulli when she was getting hate? Why didn’t he confirm his relationship just because his ex leaked past photos? Why did he cry? Why did he wear black to show sadness? Why did he read from a paper and not speak from memory?
To me, it just sounds like people looking for reasons to hate him. Him crying doesn’t change the fact that he’s suing for defamation—something that could prove him innocent. That’s what we should all be looking forward to: the court case. Again, you are extremely sad and pathetic if you’re condemning someone before trial. It’s innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around. You’re not better than anyone else and you’ll never be anything more than a sheep and a hater—someone brainless who can’t think for themselves and always wants to join the hate train.
I would never say something I'm not 100% sure of. Like, how are you so sure he's a pedo or a groomer when everything said is so inconsistent? You believe everything her parents say—parents who didn’t even know she was married, didn’t know her whereabouts when she was under 18, but when her relationships came out suddenly, they knew everything? Her mom was basically her manager—she was living in an Asian household; how sneaky could she have been?
Then there's the unknown aunt/family friend, her cousin, a shady YouTuber with fabricated evidence and many pending lawsuits, and an unprofessional lawyer who played sensitive audio in a club like it was entertainment. Even “12345678 friends” supposedly wanted to make a statement—you’re telling me that many people knew about KSH’s underage dating and KSR’s relationship enough to make a statement? And how did they hide their relationship that long? The walls have ears, especially for celebrities.
Everything about this is just ridiculous. Jumping to conclusions makes you unwise and someone who just loves to hate. Everything was manipulated, and they didn’t even show one forensic report or autopsy to prove how she died. She didn’t even die on his birthday—she was found on his birthday.
They don’t want to go to the police, but keep exposing their daughter’s personal life—how is that justice? Why fabricate evidence and lie about the time frame? They manipulated the internet with sympathy to the point it's scary.
The truth is never this complicated or confusing—it’s straightforward and clear.
People just want to paint him as the villain they don't care about the facts they've already made up their mind…
I think the most disgusting thing is people who act morally righteous or like they can do no wrong. It’s extremely disturbing to see someone call him a pedophile or groomer. Like—why are you so sure he is, especially when all their "evidence" is so inconsistent?
Why do people want him to be guilty so badly? None of her pictures were underage. Even the one with the mole—if you go to his military discharge video, you’ll see that the mole was still there around 2019 and 2020. His clothes aren’t proof either—clothes can be bought or gifted.
People can have a platonic relationship and then enter a romantic one later. I feel like people are more pressed about the age gap. But if KSH is telling the truth, then she was old enough to know what she wanted. People have dating preferences—some girls choose to date older men.
It's also strange that her family hasn’t filed a lawsuit but still has so many supporters. What justice are they even seeking? Sharing your daughter's private life with the world so it can be judged isn’t justice. KSR’s supporters just seem like haters looking for a reason to hate. Some of them used to wish her dead—and now that she's gone, they’re suddenly crying for justice? Hypocrites.
Staying neutral in a case like this is always the best stance. Him denying the relationship doesn't prove he dated her when she was underage—where's the logic in that? She posted that picture knowing how toxic the internet is. It’s obvious it was a smear campaign. They accused him of everything—dating her at 16, 14, even 13. Cheating. Sending inappropriate selfies. Being part of the CCP. Doing worse than the Burning Sun scandal. Tax evasion. Stock manipulation. Not paying her debts. Even murder (the informant).
They literally said all that with zero evidence. It's ridiculous. Honestly, it's sad how many people still believe her family and Garo Sero.
This isn’t honoring KSR’s memory. This is public humiliation. She didn’t even leave a note asking for this to happen. They want an apology for themselves, not for her. Their demands kept changing—from an apology, to accepting her as a founding member. But did she even invest or create anything to be a founder?
People hate taking accountability. That’s why they think they’re above the law. They want to believe someone is guilty even when the police haven’t found them guilty of anything.
I truly believe karma is real. If KSH truly is innocent, I hope every person who spread lies, unconfirmed info, and hate gets punished by the universe. The hate you put into the world will come back to you. If you help destroy someone’s life and reputation, you don’t get to live happily ever after.
If KSH clears his name, I really hope Knock Off gets released—and I’m sure it’ll be a hit. Haters only know how to hate. They can’t stop success.
Honestly, anyone calling him a pedo and mass-reporting a show that hasn’t even come out yet is just sad and pathetic. He hasn’t even been proven guilty and is literally fighting this case in court. Jumping to conclusions and choosing the narrative you want to believe doesn’t make you a good person.
To me, his letter and video aren’t proof that there was an inappropriate relationship. That letter was from 2018. Like, did you even care about KSR when she was alive? Let’s stop the hypocrisy—it’s actually disgusting. Her family keeps changing their story. Isn’t it unfair to blindly follow them and believe everything they say?
Again, he’s literally in court fighting a defamation case. If he’s telling the truth, he’ll win. If he’s lying, her family will win. It’s that simple. But people want to complicate it just to justify their hate and the spreading of unproven claims.
I’m not saying this to change anyone’s mind. Even if he wins the case, people will still say he paid for the verdict or used his money to get out of it. But most of KSR’s family’s evidence—about 90% of it—was from when she was already an adult. And even the texts contradict themselves. In 2016, she said she hadn’t had sex with him. Then suddenly, she’s 13 and claims she had? All of their evidence should’ve focused on when she was a minor if they wanted to prove a crime.
Dating someone over 18 isn’t a crime. The crime would’ve been if he dated her under 18—so why are we even talking about what happened after?
The case is honestly so clear if you look at it without emotions. Stop thinking, “she was just a child,” and start thinking, “he’s fighting this in court, and the truth will come out.” There are so many holes in the story—it’s become a circus at this point.
I’m not even a fan of KSH. I was just interested in the case and kept up with it. Regardless of their age gap, if KSH is telling the truth, then he’s been the victim all along, and this was clearly a smear campaign.
KSR is dead and didn’t consent to all of this, and KSH has been made the fixed villain—so everything he says or does is automatically questioned. We should all treat this case like the third parties that we are. We don’t know the nature of their relationship, and we weren’t present for any of it.
At this point, people just want to be right or are simply looking for a reason to keep him as the villain in their narrative. People literally believed everything—even the claim that the FBI is involved. Like, the FBI is supposedly investigating a case that isn’t even American-related? They can’t arrest him even if it were true, so why would they care?
It’s honestly ridiculous. Even if I were on KSR’s family’s side, I would’ve paused to laugh at how absurd that sounds. Like the FBI doesn’t have better things to do?
Anyway, if KSH is actually innocent, then I hope Knock Off gets released. If he isn’t, then I hope KSR’s family gets the justice they deserve. But either way, everything should be handled in court—not in the court of public opinion.
How do you know that Lee sang jun would mind a kissing scene?
Sorry, I saw this late. Yh ,I do believe some bl actors go into it for the opportunities it brings,but I said that to prove a point. (Lee sang jun minding a kissing scene) so I wanted to say people can be homophobic too,we don't know if he's open minded or not then I think I also talked about regardless of your beliefs or personal vices you should put everything aside and work. To me everyone in secret relationship did an amazing job and that's how bls should be treated,with respect. They didn't treat it like the many kbls I've watched like we got real kisses not fish kisses we didn't get a horrible plot and bad acting. I don't know about if he cared about bls, because I'm not him but he for sure cares about his work and he took it seriously. I still don't like people using bls as a stepping stone but we don't know everything, it may be a coincidence. If he wants to be an idol 🤷 that's not my business, people should focus on his performance not on what they think.
How do you know that Lee sang jun would mind a kissing scene?
I always get a little annoyed when people give excuses for the cast or production like he didn't kiss because or he didn't do this and that because. Like cast the right people for the job, you're so right it's actually very disrespectful to cast people who aren't fully committed. A straight drama would not get this level of disrespect. We are in 2025,fish kissing and angle kisses should be a thing of the past,even actors that are clearly disgusted when they do a kiss scene.its disrespectful to the LGBTQ community, the viewers and his fellow actor. I understand we are all coming from different places, different religions and different backgrounds but if u take on a role and I mean any role you should be 💯 committed. Regardless of your beliefs or personal vices like put everything aside and work if you aren't able to do that then give it to someone who would gladly do it. You're so right productions need to do better, honestly. Start respecting and caring for the LGBTQ community before you decide to make a movie,show,drama any form of entertainment about them. i feel like I'm going in circles I'm stopping here. Let me watch to my star for the 100th time too 🤣😂
How do you know that Lee sang jun would mind a kissing scene?
I like lee sang jun but they should cast someone who doesn't have anything in their contract if that's the case. My point was they should stop casting people who won't mind acting and kissing in a bl. They can always cast someone else even the guy that played heesu was underage don't get me wrong I'm not a kissing maniac again I don't need the story to have a kissing scene to watch it. I didn't want to make my other post long but I'm going to explain why I felt he wouldn't do any kissing scenes. I don't know if it's because we are in a bl bubble so we tend to forget that homophobia still exists. A lot of actors don't go into acting bls because they care or want to represent gay people they go into it for money and a chance to boost their careers.I'm not saying lee sang jun is one of them but who's to say he doesn't mind kissing a guy? Not everyone is open minded. I felt he wouldn't kiss a guy from his career stand point, he's popular and already has fans that might not like him kissing a guy and all eyes would be on him after squid game 2. Homophobic people might start making fun of him. Colour rush had the same thing the actor got bullied by his "fans" so much he didn't want to be in season 2 let's not act like homophobia doesn't exist. Your favourite actors or idols might be homophobic AF. I'm not blaming lee sang jun for how heesu class 2 turned out. I'm sure the production never wanted to do a proper bl. Casting ahn ji ho was like an excuse like look guys he's underaged so it would be inappropriate if they kissed or had any form of skinship. The production are at fault. They cut out the bl parts and give it to actors who don't want to act in a proper bl. I thought they adjusted it but you can only adjust so much. Like love in the big city for example can u imagine that drama without everything it had? I can't! All I'll say it's the production people should stop taking on bls for money. Leave it for people who actually love and care about about the LGBTQ community. Sorry it's lengthy i always get carried away
How do you know that Lee sang jun would mind a kissing scene?
Lee sang jun made an appearance in squid game 2 the chances of kissing a guy in his next project is highly unlikely. If the drama had kissing scenes I doubt he would have taken it. No kissing scenes in the drama should have answered your question. I knew he wouldn't kiss and I was right.
They should really stop casting people who are uncomfortable with the role like the moment I saw Lee sang jun I KNEW we weren't getting any kissing scene even though I don't need a kissing scene to love and enjoy a bl but when it's in the story why not cast someone who wouldn't mind? Heesu in class 2 would have been the next love mix up. if they weren't so homophobic and just here for money like look at secret relationship they all did great. Don't get me wrong I think Lee sang jun is a really good actor and I liked the way he delivered his dialogues I'm not just talking about him. I'm talking about in general they cast people who are popular and don't want to ruin thier image so they make adjustments for the actor to be able to fit the story I know this probably isn't the case I'm sure even without this casting they would have found a way to remove the bl elements. They story was just in the wrong hands the hands that don't care about gay people and the hands that would rewrite a whole story just to add a straight couple in a gay couples love story making the main character heesu the narrator of his own story 😭 From the actors to the directors down to the writers should love what they do and be proud of it not trying to hide it or feel ashamed of it. it's obvious they didn't care about the gay story line. To me heesu and seung felt more like a third couple yk that type of couple that had little screen time and we only knew what happened to them at the end but we don't really care because they aren't the main couple but this is different it was their story. It was written about them so they should have been the main focus not ji yu and her guitar or Chen and his tennis ball they were so boring I literally skipped their parts. It's sad to see a really good manga getting turned into this. like they didn't even let them hold hands long enough at the end for them to cut them off with tennis ball and guitar girl. A really good manga with full potentials to be a memorable kbl wasted😪
I just finished watching it and I'm honestly disappointed 😞 I was a fan of the manga and read it multiple times when I heard it was becoming a drama I was very excited even though I'm not really a fan of kbls but I was like you can't go wrong with it being an innocent coming of age manga like I think they kissed like twice in their highschool days and it was more of a lip peck then a kiss like it was that innocent they didn't even need to kiss to make this drama good just don't make them a side couple in their own story? I don't have an issue with straight couples being in a bl BUT I didn't like this couple, I didn't hate them but I didn't care for them at all especially knowing that in the manga they were just friends and they had to make them a couple? Why? To avoid skinship from the two main leads? Like in the manga we didn't even know what ju chan liked so why do we have to know in the drama? And ji yu was seen only when necessary. This drama was extremely disappointing to me like even when I thought it was gonna pick up in that dark room where heesu took seung won I thought finally! He is going to confess but no, the dragged the confession to ep10!? The end!! And you want me to believe they aren't side dishes? and the fact the manga had true second leads who were also guys. Kbl always disappoint me,I honestly hate when the make a bl adaptation and want to remove the bl parts from it.its like they know if they label something bl it would bring a huge audience so they do whatever the like. i don't mind breadcrumbs but like this is just nothing. if you watched heesu class 2 thinking it was a bl think again it was a straight drama with a gay side couple. It being ep10 and 40-50 long makes me kinda mad too like the just wasted all that time and for what!? A straight couple that didn't even have chemistry! I'm so disappointed honestly like i don't mind when there's a little bit change in a story when it's being made into a drama but this is just too much change. Firstly heesu didn't like astronomy he liked cooking,ju chan was bi and he knew about heesu feelings but he avoided it ,I think he also liked heesu but didn't want to accept his feelings because of his family heesu and seung started dating before telling chen about it. Even heesu as a character felt a little different, in fact all the characters felt different especially chen, chen was always supportive . Heesu and seung won manga confession was the cutest thing ever! The staircase peck was everything we didn't even get to see heesu wanting to spend time with seung and actually spending time with him. Even when heesu took seung to a private class room because he missed him so much like they see eachother every day and even live close to eachother but he misses him! Like it was sooo cute, we didn't get to see their story 😞 they didn't even need to kiss just looking into eachother's eye each episode wound have been enough for me. Yh I would have accepted breadcrumbs at this point.if kbl adaptations aren't going to go all the way the should stop ruining bls.im only gonna forgive them,if I get a season 2 or a special 1hour episode and it's just heesu and seung but give us something and not nothing and I won't be accepting bread crumbs this time. No hand glazing and riding on a bus while holding hands. this drama is a 6 for me and the rewatch value is even lower like how many moments do they even have for me to watch ? I liked Ji ho and sang jun acting but that's it. like why show us ji yu and Chen achieving their dreams but heesu club wasn't even formed,seung was clearly a lonely person in the drama but it wasn't even talked about. I was so pissed in ep10 during their confession heesu running away with yet another misunderstanding like it's remaining 10mins for the drama to end this drama just wanted to piss me off fr plus in the manga heesu was relieved not angry when he found out seung was lying to him about who he liked I feel like even if I didn't read the manga I wouldn't like this drama. Like yes I finished it but was I very unsatisfied at the ending yes! I need to stop here if I write anymore I might as well write a book.
I’m genuinely devastated. Top Form was more than just another BL — it was something special. It had heart, chemistry, and meaning. And now Season 2 feels like a dream slipping away.
Why now, when Smart is at the height of his career? I know he hasn’t said anything directly, so I want to give him grace — but from what we’ve seen so far, it’s hard not to feel abandoned. I get that he wants to focus on his solo path, and that’s his right. But walking away from a project that brought so much joy to so many people? It just feels like a punch to the gut.
I hope this is all part of the storyline, or some clever promo twist — especially since the real-life situation reflects the show’s plot in such an eerie way. But if it’s real, if this is truly the end… it’s heartbreaking.
I know it’s his decision. I respect his freedom to choose his path. But I also wish he considered everyone who supported him, everyone who believed in this story and wanted to see it continue. We’re not just fans — we’re people who connected with something real.
I’m still holding out hope. For a miracle, for an announcement, for anything that gives us a second chance at this story. Because right now, all I feel is sadness and confusion.
Please let this not be the end. 💔
He admitted to dating her when she was 19, and while I won’t defend that decision—it was questionable—there’s a huge difference between dating someone at 13 and dating someone at 19. If what he said is true, then KSR was legally an adult and capable of making her own choices. Some women choose to date older men, and their relationship lasted about a year before ending like many relationships do.
I’ll try to keep this short, especially since I’ve already shared my thoughts in this comment section before. So yes, I’m aware of the allegations. But at the end of the day, these things should be handled in court—not by strangers on the internet playing judge and jury.
KSR is no longer here to share her side, and KSH has already been cast as the villain in the public eye. So naturally, many people won’t give him the benefit of the doubt. But if he is telling the truth, then he’s been a victim too—his life torn apart, dissected, and judged for public consumption.
I’m not here to change anyone’s mind. People are entitled to their own perspectives, and it’s okay if we don’t all agree. But it’s important to remember that public narratives are often shaped by emotion, not facts—and not everyone is willing to question that.
I wish I could send pictures here to show you. The only reason I even remembered I had commented here was because of that "get a life" reply.
And honestly, sometimes I feel like people who spread lies, hate, and accuse someone of being a pedo without proper evidence or justice deserve to be called out. They can't just say anything and not be held accountable.
Well, I know you can never stop haters, but that doesn't mean you can't try. I'm going to avoid commenting for now, but If KSH wins, best believe everyone’s gonna hear about it. I’ll be spreading it like the gospel, lol
I talked about the age gap, and I still stand by what I said — people have preferences. I know women who exclusively date older men, and they’re genuinely happy in those relationships. If you’re going to judge a case, fairness should be the bare minimum.
For the record, I wasn’t even a fan of KSH. I only watched him in It’s Okay to Not Be Okay — that was it. At first, I also found it suspicious that she passed on his birthday, until it was clarified that she was found that day, not that she died then. And let’s not forget: there was no autopsy. We still don’t know her official cause of death.
How many times did KSR’s family and the YouTuber say they would stop posting photos — either out of concern for KSH’s mental health or because everything had already been submitted to the police? Yet they kept posting. I’m not defending him — I’m pointing out inconsistencies. And those inconsistencies are too significant to ignore. What some are calling “proof” is mostly built on assumptions and emotional manipulation.
KSR’s family weaponized public emotion, and the media amplified it — planting seeds of doubt. This isn’t a case of “he must have done it,” it’s “he could have done it.” And that uncertainty has become the foundation for so many people’s conclusions. I’m not here to judge anyone — we all come from different places, and naturally, our perspectives vary. But I believe in “innocent until proven guilty.” And I refuse to condemn someone without clear, solid evidence.
So why are people still obsessing over supposed “lies” when the case is in court? If you really care about the truth, wait for the legal process. I could go into detail about how Garo Sero manipulated the narrative online, but to you, it would probably just sound like another “long essay.” So I’ll keep it simple: if KSH is lying, then so is KSR’s side — their stories have been inconsistent from the start.
They haven’t even shown up for a single press conference, yet KSH gets mocked for crying in his. Be real. Before being an actor, he’s a human being.
Why follow a narrative from people who keep shifting their story? KSH has stayed consistent. He said they weren’t dating at the time — and they weren’t. He said he never went to her family home — and there’s been no proof that he did. The only footage shows him at her place when she was 20 — which they use to push their version of the story. He said he didn’t date her as a minor, and that’s what he’s working to prove in court.
I’ll admit, I’ve followed this case closely — maybe too closely. But it’s everywhere: Facebook, TikTok, X. And what I see is a rush to judgment that’s destroying someone’s entire life and career without a fair trial.
If he’s guilty, then justice should be served. But if he’s not, he doesn’t deserve to be publicly ruined based on emotion and speculation alone.
You’re out here hoping his movie never gets released—just say you’re a hater. You haven’t done anything to help KSR’s family: no donations, no flowers at her grave, no real support. I think you should pray that KSR’s family actually wins the case with their fabricated evidence first—then maybe you can talk about his movie.
How will you feel if he wins the case? Remorseful? Or will you just find a new way to invalidate it? I’m not even a KSH fan, but it’s wild how blinded people are by sympathy and hate. They can’t accept anything that doesn’t keep KSH as the villain.
Garo and her family never gave us even one forensic report, despite promising multiple times. And let’s be clear—the age gap between KSH and KSR is not a crime. People who keep bringing it up need to get off their high horses. KSR was old enough. I hate how people treat her like she was some helpless, incompetent fool who couldn’t think for herself.
And anyone who believes that Knock Off won’t be a hit if it gets released, or that their 'boycott' will affect the movie’s success, is lying to themselves. Hate sells too. So instead of praying for his downfall, how about doing something that actually matters—like donating or showing real support?
This is about KSH, and I believe in “innocent until proven guilty.” The age gap isn’t the crime — the issue is whether he dated her as a minor. The case is currently in court, so focus on that.
His "lies" are:1. They weren’t dating currently.2. He didn’t date her as a minor.3. He never went to her parents' house.
Even if he lied, that’s still not proof that he dated her as a minor — which is the actual crime here. I’m not even a fan of his, but if you're going to make accusations as heavy as the ones KSR’s family made, then you should back it up with clear evidence, not fabricated lies and emotional manipulation.
Girl, you're not better than anyone. He’s literally fighting a defamation case in court. If KSR’s family is telling the truth, they’ll win. It’s that simple. The inconsistency in their story is so obvious, but you're too blinded by your morally righteous self to see it.
I feel like you guys are only seeing KSH as a rich man and KSR’s family isn't wealthy. I don’t even understand your thought process. There’s nothing wrong with age-gap couples — it’s their life and they should decide how to live it.
What her parents are doing isn’t justice; it’s public humiliation. This isn’t honoring her in any way. And who’s to say KSR wanted this to happen? It’s her story to tell, not her family’s. She didn’t leave a final note or anything. This case is a whole circus
In this life, always make sure you know what you’re saying. Karma is very real, girl. It’s innocent until proven guilty — not the other way around. You're not the law or God to decide who is guilty.
Let them go to court and get proper justice. Now that they’ve claimed he slept with her when she was 13 — which is a crime in Korea — if he’s guilty, he’ll be punished. Don’t worry. Seeing things for what they are, not just what you want to see, won’t kill you.
His PR move is a lawsuit. If he wins the case, he’ll be cleared of all allegations. People who truly want the truth will care. But people like you — who’ve already made up their minds — will still find a way to invalidate his win. But no matter how much you hide the truth, it will always come out eventually.
Whoever wins the case was the real victim all along. And God won’t let anything bad happen to them. He always fights for His people.
Sulli was bullied to the point where I remember watching an Instagram live where she saw a hate comment and looked so hurt. She said things like, “Why do people hate me so much?” and “Why do people care what I do so much?” The movie Real happened in 2017, and she sadly passed in 2019. She was already a controversial figure—she dated openly, she was a feminist, she was outspoken in a country where just reading a feminist book gets you hate. She talked about her mental health too. She basically wanted to be free, but netizens didn't let her. She broke all the rules that an idol or Korean celebrity isn't supposed to break.
Blaming her fellow actor for her death is inhumane. He wasn't the director or the scriptwriter—he was just an actor. The movie wasn’t even that popular, and I'm sure he didn’t receive much praise from it either. If she was truly uncomfortable, she should have gone to her agency at the time and shared her discomfort. Plus, she was already getting hate before that movie—the hate just piled on. You can’t blame someone for haters. Haters hate for no reason. I don’t understand why people link him to Sulli at all.
Someone said it’s because he didn’t help—but this is an industry where you're left to fend for yourself when things get tough. Korean celebrities are known to distance themselves from someone if that person becomes controversial. KSH is an example of that—his friends are literally unfollowing him now, maybe not because they want to, but because jobless trolls are spamming their comment sections urging them to unfollow.
This whole case is ridiculous. Even Seo Yea-ji said she doesn't want to be linked to everything and that people shouldn't mention her name again. Like, why do people want them to be victims so badly? KSH shouldn't be blamed. He's not the netizens who send hate or wish people death. He’s not her agency. If she truly felt uncomfortable, she should’ve reported it. He's not Korea—or the parts of the world that obsess more over women's nudity than men's.
Some people are blaming him because he didn’t help—but what could he have done? Risk his image for someone he wasn’t even close to? People are asking for too much, knowing full well they wouldn't do it themselves.
Why didn’t he pay her debt? Why didn’t he come to her funeral? Why didn’t he defend Sulli when she was getting hate? Why didn’t he confirm his relationship just because his ex leaked past photos? Why did he cry? Why did he wear black to show sadness? Why did he read from a paper and not speak from memory?
To me, it just sounds like people looking for reasons to hate him. Him crying doesn’t change the fact that he’s suing for defamation—something that could prove him innocent. That’s what we should all be looking forward to: the court case. Again, you are extremely sad and pathetic if you’re condemning someone before trial. It’s innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around. You’re not better than anyone else and you’ll never be anything more than a sheep and a hater—someone brainless who can’t think for themselves and always wants to join the hate train.
I would never say something I'm not 100% sure of. Like, how are you so sure he's a pedo or a groomer when everything said is so inconsistent? You believe everything her parents say—parents who didn’t even know she was married, didn’t know her whereabouts when she was under 18, but when her relationships came out suddenly, they knew everything? Her mom was basically her manager—she was living in an Asian household; how sneaky could she have been?
Then there's the unknown aunt/family friend, her cousin, a shady YouTuber with fabricated evidence and many pending lawsuits, and an unprofessional lawyer who played sensitive audio in a club like it was entertainment. Even “12345678 friends” supposedly wanted to make a statement—you’re telling me that many people knew about KSH’s underage dating and KSR’s relationship enough to make a statement? And how did they hide their relationship that long? The walls have ears, especially for celebrities.
Everything about this is just ridiculous. Jumping to conclusions makes you unwise and someone who just loves to hate. Everything was manipulated, and they didn’t even show one forensic report or autopsy to prove how she died. She didn’t even die on his birthday—she was found on his birthday.
They don’t want to go to the police, but keep exposing their daughter’s personal life—how is that justice? Why fabricate evidence and lie about the time frame? They manipulated the internet with sympathy to the point it's scary.
The truth is never this complicated or confusing—it’s straightforward and clear.
Why do people want him to be guilty so badly? None of her pictures were underage. Even the one with the mole—if you go to his military discharge video, you’ll see that the mole was still there around 2019 and 2020. His clothes aren’t proof either—clothes can be bought or gifted.
People can have a platonic relationship and then enter a romantic one later. I feel like people are more pressed about the age gap. But if KSH is telling the truth, then she was old enough to know what she wanted. People have dating preferences—some girls choose to date older men.
It's also strange that her family hasn’t filed a lawsuit but still has so many supporters. What justice are they even seeking? Sharing your daughter's private life with the world so it can be judged isn’t justice. KSR’s supporters just seem like haters looking for a reason to hate. Some of them used to wish her dead—and now that she's gone, they’re suddenly crying for justice? Hypocrites.
Staying neutral in a case like this is always the best stance. Him denying the relationship doesn't prove he dated her when she was underage—where's the logic in that? She posted that picture knowing how toxic the internet is. It’s obvious it was a smear campaign. They accused him of everything—dating her at 16, 14, even 13. Cheating. Sending inappropriate selfies. Being part of the CCP. Doing worse than the Burning Sun scandal. Tax evasion. Stock manipulation. Not paying her debts. Even murder (the informant).
They literally said all that with zero evidence. It's ridiculous. Honestly, it's sad how many people still believe her family and Garo Sero.
This isn’t honoring KSR’s memory. This is public humiliation. She didn’t even leave a note asking for this to happen. They want an apology for themselves, not for her. Their demands kept changing—from an apology, to accepting her as a founding member. But did she even invest or create anything to be a founder?
People hate taking accountability. That’s why they think they’re above the law. They want to believe someone is guilty even when the police haven’t found them guilty of anything.
I truly believe karma is real. If KSH truly is innocent, I hope every person who spread lies, unconfirmed info, and hate gets punished by the universe. The hate you put into the world will come back to you. If you help destroy someone’s life and reputation, you don’t get to live happily ever after.
If KSH clears his name, I really hope Knock Off gets released—and I’m sure it’ll be a hit. Haters only know how to hate. They can’t stop success.
To me, his letter and video aren’t proof that there was an inappropriate relationship. That letter was from 2018. Like, did you even care about KSR when she was alive? Let’s stop the hypocrisy—it’s actually disgusting. Her family keeps changing their story. Isn’t it unfair to blindly follow them and believe everything they say?
Again, he’s literally in court fighting a defamation case. If he’s telling the truth, he’ll win. If he’s lying, her family will win. It’s that simple. But people want to complicate it just to justify their hate and the spreading of unproven claims.
I’m not saying this to change anyone’s mind. Even if he wins the case, people will still say he paid for the verdict or used his money to get out of it. But most of KSR’s family’s evidence—about 90% of it—was from when she was already an adult. And even the texts contradict themselves. In 2016, she said she hadn’t had sex with him. Then suddenly, she’s 13 and claims she had? All of their evidence should’ve focused on when she was a minor if they wanted to prove a crime.
Dating someone over 18 isn’t a crime. The crime would’ve been if he dated her under 18—so why are we even talking about what happened after?
The case is honestly so clear if you look at it without emotions. Stop thinking, “she was just a child,” and start thinking, “he’s fighting this in court, and the truth will come out.” There are so many holes in the story—it’s become a circus at this point.
I’m not even a fan of KSH. I was just interested in the case and kept up with it. Regardless of their age gap, if KSH is telling the truth, then he’s been the victim all along, and this was clearly a smear campaign.
KSR is dead and didn’t consent to all of this, and KSH has been made the fixed villain—so everything he says or does is automatically questioned. We should all treat this case like the third parties that we are. We don’t know the nature of their relationship, and we weren’t present for any of it.
At this point, people just want to be right or are simply looking for a reason to keep him as the villain in their narrative. People literally believed everything—even the claim that the FBI is involved. Like, the FBI is supposedly investigating a case that isn’t even American-related? They can’t arrest him even if it were true, so why would they care?
It’s honestly ridiculous. Even if I were on KSR’s family’s side, I would’ve paused to laugh at how absurd that sounds. Like the FBI doesn’t have better things to do?
Anyway, if KSH is actually innocent, then I hope Knock Off gets released. If he isn’t, then I hope KSR’s family gets the justice they deserve. But either way, everything should be handled in court—not in the court of public opinion.
