The right thing to do at this conference was to apologise and ask for forgiveness. 1. Ask for forgiveness from…
Legally, he did not commit any crimes. It was still legal for him to date this girl.
Legally, Sae Ron owed him 700 million won. He was not wrong to ask for that money back.
BUT I WANT TO BE CLEAR: MORALLY, he’s wrong. And like you said, all he had to do was own up to mistakes he made. Because he isn’t doing that, it leads me to believe he’s a foul human being down to his core. Kim Sae Ron lost her life and he continues to dismiss her very existence, someone he actually had an intimate relationship with. He’s SCUM.
So.. he did not mention Saeron's name even once during the press con. But how many times has he mentioned his…
If he wasn’t guilty of all the things he swears he didn’t do, the first thing he would’ve done is say her name and that he was sorry she took her life when she was still young and he feels so much compassion for everyone who loved her, her fans, her friends, her family. Instead, he spoke like a head of a corporation: no heart. No humanity. And that means he’s 100% culpable of being a horrible person.
It's usually not great to be on the side of the "villagers with forks". Then again, you mention SK's former laws…
People are bending backwards to find sense out of a nonsensical argument.
This man was backwards and knew it and tried to hide it, assuming his status would protect him because it’s protected all of the elders before him. But this is 2025 and we are in a different world now.
If everything he did was on the up and up, Kim Soo Hyun would have embraced Kim Sae Ron’s family out of sheer humanity and made sure they were taken care of after her death. And then he would have called all the folks in kmedia to cover his goodwill, further boosting his good-guy reputation.
There is no reason to sue people without means for 15 billion won other than your lack of humanity.
It's usually not great to be on the side of the "villagers with forks". Then again, you mention SK's former laws…
Even though his environment (and the law) allowed this, Kim Soo Hyun is only 37 years old. He’s traveled around the world. He’s an educated man. He knows that in the 21st century, pursuing a 15 year old is backwards as heck and he did it anyway.
I would probably give someone in their 60s a pass. Not a man who isn’t even 40. And not in 2015.
It’d be one thing if this was a man who dated a 15 year old before the law changed the legal age, and because…
Why would they lie? Profit from her death? Really.
Wouldn’t it make sense for them to release ALL of these images while she was still alive? I recall only some messages were released last year but nothing to this extent. And those messages were from Sae Ron.
I know nothing anyone says will matter to you because you’re his fan. And that’s fine. But don’t do so blaming the bereaved family. Just continue your obsession and say no matter what Soo Hyun does, you will support him. Because that makes more sense than what you just said.
As someone who has been following this situation from the start, this is the first time I'm witnessing this phenomenon…
It’d be one thing if this was a man who dated a 15 year old before the law changed the legal age, and because of the changing times, decided it was best to keep quiet about this for the sake of his career. But that wasn’t the only thing he did.
He lied about how long their relationship was. He hired someone to prove his text messages from when she was a minor were fabricated and released that today. He’s lying about Kim Sae Ron’s relationship with his aunt. He demanded she pay back a 700 million loan, knowing she could not pay him back after he let her go from Gold Medalist. That’s loan shark behavior. Kim Sae Ron committed suicide and this man didn’t attend her funeral. He’s suing Sae Ron’s family for 15 billion won, money they do not have… because if they did, Sae Ron would’ve paid back the 700 million won, no problem.
When someone does something wrong and they’re a good person, they mediate with the wronged party and settle out of court. They don’t sue a family for defamation.
Kim Soo Hyun is disgusting and after making so many horrible decisions in his life, it is high time he pays.
And I say this as someone WHO LOVED HIM AND JI WON in Queen of Tears. It does not matter what he does on screen. His career must be over.
I have held off on Buried Hearts mainly cause I just wanted to binge it and not watch it week to week but I have…
Oh wow. This show is so jam packed, I wouldn’t binge it. But I’m a wuss about thrillers like this.
I don’t know your tastes. If you like thriller/adventures that are plot-driven and a lot happens every episode, you would like Buried Hearts. The main revenge story is good, and why I’m sticking around for the end. To compare, Gangnam B-Side and The Worst of Evil are thrillers that aren’t the best but more grounded. I prefer those to this story.
When did IU become the worst actress in Korea? You must be talking about someone else because that made absolutely…
Your comment is odd.
You start by saying it’s scientifically proven that she’s the worst in the country and then end with an assumption that I’m a kpop fan (which would bear no scientific weight whether it were true or false).
I don’t know who led you down this path, but it’s okay if you do not like IU. You don’t need to make up a study that “proves” she’s not a good actress. Doesn’t make you and me wrong. It’s all opinions in the end.
Further, just because a majority of people believe something doesn’t make it fact. For centuries, people thought the earth was flat. 😂
Buried Hearts is all over the place. I was expecting something more grounded, but it’s too extra. The cast is great, and I like the quick pacing, but the plot is too much and there are still 5 episodes left. What’s gonna happen next? Dongju will be Eunnam’s reincarnated father? 😂
Also, saying in multiple posts that he is not a pedophile… that doesn’t seem obsessed to you? OK. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
ETA: He should have not involved her family in his lawsuit.

I reported this as incorrect information and I hope that they receive that.
