My Way

It’s heartbreaking to see how easily lies can destroy a person’s life while the truth struggles to be heard. The cruelty, the indifference, and the months of unchecked slander show how dangerous cybercrime has become. At the same time, I can’t help but admire Kim Soo Hyun's courage to keep standing for truth despite all the pain. I hope this case becomes a real turning point, for justice, and for all of us.

Excellent analysis! I had NOT noticed the subliminal accents this user was using. But yes, they are there. You just have to know how to recognize them.

Reading this statement leaves me with such a heavy heart. It’s painful to see how a person’s life and reputation can be destroyed so easily by fabrications and relentless attacks, while the truth struggles to be heard. What strikes me most is the cruelty of it all, the way lies were crafted so deliberately, the way they were spread without accountability, and the way society, for months, allowed the slander to snowball.
I feel anger at the injustice, sorrow for the suffering of the victim (Kim Soo Hyun) and his family, and frustration that common sense was ignored while malicious narratives were given power!!! It’s devastating to think of the emotional toll this must have taken, being isolated, ridiculed, and hunted in the public eye, while he still trying to protect others from collateral harm.

There’s also a deep sense of fear here, fear of what unchecked cybercrime can do in an age where lies spread faster than truth, where technology can weaponize falsehoods, and where anyone could be the next target. This isn’t just about one person anymore; it’s about what kind of society we are willing to accept!!


But alongside the sadness, there’s admiration for the courage Kim Soo Hyun shown, choosing truth over expediency, choosing respect even in the face of attacks, and continuing to fight through the proper channels. That kind of perseverance deserves recognition, not dismissal!!

Above all, I feel a desperate hope that this case can finally become a turning point, that people will learn to pause before blindly believing, that society will stand against malicious manipulation, and that we can start protecting victims instead of abandoning them.

Extraordinary article!! But it deeply saddened me to read these things expressed in such a coherent way, even though they are things I already knew.

I think you unfortunately do not understand certain aspects, both moral and principled.

What evidence do you think he brought to court, if you say he never sent those letters?
I assure you that those to whom he wrote will admit IN THE COURT that they received those letters and that, in turn, they wrote letters to him.

Do you think that the court is a marketplace, where you go with vague evidence?
Do you think his lawyers don't know what real evidence and fabricated evidence mean when they present it in the court?
I know it's easy to talk behind the keyboard, but in the witness box, I doubt it's the same.

As you well know, no one wants to lose their career overnight, so I don't understand your claim that someone else should take care of clearing Kim Soo Hyun's name, besides himself, which he does, but he does it in a discreet way, without exposing anyone. Because the time will come when these people will no longer be able to remain in the shadows, because of the defamation lawsuit that Kim Soo Hyun was forced to file against those who caused him this damage.

As someone once wrote, at this point, both the evidence and the witnesses have an obligation to keep their story for the court.

What he wrote to KSR is revealed because her family has already revealed it and therefore is no longer protected evidence for the public. All the other letters that were SENT, not as you interpret them as not being sent, ARE already as evidence in court as proof..

I'm not a legal expert, but I do know that when a trial is underway, evidence is not released until the case is finalized.

Why would someone, voluntarily, in the middle of a scandal, come forward and say: "hey guys, I received letters from him while he was in the army"? Is this your scenario that guides you that KSH is a liar? The claim that KSH is manipulative, on what basis do you say that?
In no scandal, regardless of whether the accused artist is at fault for something or not, no other artist voluntarily wants to be associated with that artist.
However, the people who received letters from him, including his then-girlfriend, will be summoned as witnesses in the defamation lawsuit field by Kim Soo Hyun.

😂 This is the funniest comment I've read in a while and the most creative. And I know exactly who's in the lead role.😂

#coffeecookie And all you were able to write was to offend other users. You have too little to say in this case and nothing constructive, obviously.

You try so hard to prove that Kim Soo Hyun is guilty of so many things, but you never bother to really think about the many things that have happened since this scandal started.

Not acknowledging a relationship that ended many years ago is legitimate. If someone doesn't want to be put in context with that person, what's the problem? He wasn't obligated to. Years had passed, so it was a closed chapter. You can't put someone on the wall for not acknowledging a relationship that ended many years ago, especially since he explained the context he was in at that moment. Any actor would have reacted the same way in his situation.

I'm sorry to tell you, but everything you wrote is more emotional than rational, which is why you're only looking at one side of the story, which, unfortunately, is the rotten one.

Kim Soo Hyun was a gentleman for not revealing the whole story, because there are other personalities involved, such as his girlfriend at the time, but also KSR's boyfriend from the years when he, KSH, was accused of dating her.

If you don't see the evidence you want to see in this article, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You should know that materials that are evidence in an ongoing trial cannot be disclosed. Privacy or legal strategy could explain that.
At some point, more material will probably appear, which I'm convinced makes much more sense than what we see now.

And, as a personal opinion, I think that the one who initiated writing to him was herself and I also think that she held on to him for years. I formed a vague opinion about what kind of woman she was becoming, "thankful" to her parents who exposed her after her death.

Perhaps if you controlled your impulses and emotions more, you could see the whole picture more clearly and not in a foggy way like you seem to see it now.

In any case, your "analysis" is only one-sided. Garosero "evidence" is legitimate and all of KSH's explanations are lies.

You and many like you assume every inconsistency equal lie, but in high-profile cases, PR missteps, partial truths, or rewording under legal advice often occur. NOT all inconsistencies equal guilt!

I've read all sorts of nonsense in this comment section, and I'm wondering why people haven't updated their information since March and why they haven't bothered to gather some basic facts...?

Psychologically, humans give more weight to negative information than positive. I think we all know this from real life, especially when we consider how widespread gossip is... It's more enjoyable to think something negative about your colleague, boss, or whoever, than to praise that person for the good job they do.
Even when lies are disproven, the association lingers. People often think “Well, maybe it wasn’t true, but smoke doesn’t rise without fire.” This cognitive shortcut means that once a person is tainted, full restoration is very hard.

Lies often stick not because truth is weak, but because human psychology is wired to resist correction when emotions, identity, and group belonging are involved.

While human minds are biased and sticky with rumors, the legal system is supposed to provide structured remedies. From a legal point of view, the focus is not on changing people’s minds but on holding the defamer accountable and repairing the victim’s losses. Yes, the victim in this case is Kim Soo Hyun and not Kim Sae Ron! She is a victim of her own family, public pressure, and her own mental instability.

And yes, both the YouTuber and KSR's family will suffer the consequences of their own lies.

Using the right to free speech in a reckless way can have consequences for both you and me. Because things have gone completely crazy online, there is a good chance that our right to say something will be restricted, precisely because of you, the one who hates and throws stones online in a vile way.
Understand the danger: when freedom is abused to slander others, it loses its meaning and degenerates into chaos. And chaos inevitably leads to the intervention of authorities to suppress it. By making hasty judgments and making reckless accusations, you and many others are paving the way for a future in which free speech will no longer be possible.

Where does all this energy come from to dehumanize someone, even yourself, the one who throws accusations?

Do things that bring you pleasure, that help you build something sustainable, learn a new skill, don't just enjoy someone else's misery online.

How can you be happy that an actor left a company and wish that company would go bankrupt?
How can you write all kinds of insults about a human being, about whom you know absolutely nothing...?...to whom you attribute a fault that there is a VERY high chance that nothing is true?

You are completely dehumanized. I don't care that you post as a user. What you write, you write either from the excess of your heart (that's all you carry in your heart: hatred, no matter where and to whom you direct it), or from mockery, because u are a just worthless person in this world.

I really don't understand how you can keep writing nonsense, about an actor, about a human being, about people's workplaces and so on...?

Thank you for such clear explanations. I think it is very important to understand the difference between a small exaggeration and essentially false information, which can cause a lot of injustice. I find it worthy of respect that he, Kim Soo Hyun, chose to be cautious and not take advantage of commercial offers until the end of the procedures; it is a proof of self-control and integrity.

Interesting analysis by lawyer Kho. It brings a lot of clarity and shows how easily things can be distorted when there is ill will. And in online, where reputation can be destroyed so quickly and is difficult to repair, it is natural that the spread of untruths is firmly sanctioned.
I hope that this case will become a lesson for all, to force us (if we are not capable of it as humans) to build at least a more responsible environment, where truth and respect will always be stronger than rumors!!

And for those who think he won't return to the industry...let's be honest, as scary as this industry is, he won't lose anything, but we, who enjoy watching Korean movies and series, will. And I sincerely wish that those who wish him failure to return to acting, meet their own desires and have the same type of experience in their lives.

The topic should have been left there, on TikTok.

I also rewatched the series and it captivated me from the first moments. I had forgotten a lot of the action and I was glad I decided to watch it again. It's a wonderful series, in which the actors are phenomenal in the skin of the characters, the action of the film is captivating and the director did an exceptional job.

😂 Really delicious 😂

While other actors who have been dragged into scandals (without being guilty of anything) have truly lost their fans and support, Kim Soo Hyun has gained people who previously didn't know his name and who have now joined his true fans (I am one of them.), who support him and honor him with their actions in his name.

What is the point of this comment? If it was attached to another comment that referenced what you wrote, I would understand, but a separate post about it....I don't see the point...

I recently rewatched "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" while in Seoul, and honestly, it felt just as magical as the very first time.
This drama is perfection...beautiful written, visually stunning and brought to life by such extraordinary actors.

Kim Soo Hyun's performance especially struck me again; the depth, the vulnerability, the way he immerses us in the story, it's unforgettable. Yet, it makes me so angry to think about the unfair situation he was dragged into afterward. His talent gave us a masterpiece that allowed so many viewers to escape daily life for a while, and he deserves nothing but appreciation for that.
For me, this series will always be timeless.


I'm glad to see that the page was in good hands and wasn't abandoned. Even the haters don't get kicked off the page, even if it's the same user playing with multiple accounts :))

When I arrived at the Gold Medalist headquarters, it was delightful to find gifts and flowers from Kim Soo Hyun's fans, who were eagerly waiting to touch his heart.

A lot of feelings went through me during my visit to Seoul, especially seeing the LED screens on the buildings where Kim Soo Hyun used to be, now there were other actors...

I'm tired of people's hatred and the violence with which they can throw a person in the trash.
I didn't think that what I see in Korean movies and series really happened, but I found out some absolutely horrifying stories from their real lives.

Kim Soo Hyun, we're still here! We will not abandon you!
.....and even the haters have no peace, thinking about you every day. lmao
