Wow, how wonderful! I’m also planning to make a trip there. It’s fascinating to see how fans from different…
I agree. The love and passion of fans really do make a difference, and I’m glad we’re part of that together. Wishing you a beautiful trip when you go too!
I will be in Seoul starting Sunday, and one of the things I will do is go to the Golden Medalist headquarters for Kim Soo Hyun, to show my support for him (just like many others before me have done) and the joy that he is alive. I intend to write a letter in which I will remember many of you who fought for him here, on MDL, each according to his own strength. You are wonderful people who deserve to be mentioned. ❤️
If you want to send words of support to KSH, write them to me in a private message (by Friday at the latest, so I have time to print them), and I will print them and put them in an envelope (if the message is longer or in the form of a collage, if they are short messages). You will also have the opportunity to see pictures, which I will post on an Instagram account.
Whatever malice and madness I saw in the users here who wrote all kinds of cr@p, thanks to those who support KSH, I had the opportunity to see that there are also absolutely fantastic people online and not just toxic ones.
A new legislative proposal, informally known as the “Gaseyeon Prevention Law,” has advanced to the standing committee stage of the National Assembly, marking an important step forward in South Korea’s fight against online defamation and harmful media practices. The bill gained widespread attention after the controversial YouTube channel Garosero Institute (commonly referred to as Gaseyeon) publicly exposed private details about acclaimed actor Kim Soo Hyun, sparking outrage among fans and legal experts. In response, lawmakers introduced the proposal to establish stronger regulations against malicious online content, cyber harassment, and media defamation.
Public support has been significant: the bill collected more than 70,000 signatures, underscoring the demand for stricter measures to protect individuals, particularly public figures, against reputational harm caused by unverified and defamatory content. Following this wave of support, the bill has now been submitted to a subcommittee of the Science, ICT, Broadcasting, and Communications Committee, where it will undergo formal review and debate before moving to the next stage of the legislative process.
The outcome of this legislation holds broader implications, especially in light of Kim Soo Hyun’s ongoing legal battle against false accusations. Kim is the first high-profile celebrity to initiate legal action against a cyber-accuser, setting an important precedent in South Korea’s entertainment industry. If passed, the law could strengthen the legal framework for holding online defamers accountable, offering a safeguard for both celebrities and ordinary citizens targeted by malicious campaigns.
Observers note that the proposal reflects a growing recognition within Korean society of the damage inflicted by unregulated digital platforms and “cyber wreckers,” individuals or groups who spread rumors for influence or profit. The move signals that lawmakers are taking these concerns seriously and may be ready to enforce stronger accountability in the online space.
A principle overlooked in the case of Kim Soo Hyun: presumption of innocence. In any democratic society, the presumption of innocence is one of the cornerstones of justice. It guarantees that no individual can be treated as guilty before the facts are proven in a court of law. Yet in the case of South Korean actor Kim Soo Hyun, this principle seems to have been disregarded with surprising ease.
Although there were no official charges and no concrete evidence linking his name to the alleged crimes, the public and corporate reaction was almost reflexive: media outlets rushed to publish alarming headlines, major brands chose to distance themselves, and streaming platforms opted to suspend or indefinitely delay projects, sending the indirect message that “something must be true.” In this way, without a verdict and without a real investigation, the career and reputation of an actor were placed under suspicion.
The issue goes beyond Kim Soo Hyun’s individual case. It raises an essential question: what value does the presumption of innocence still hold when companies, the media, and entertainment platforms choose self-protection over fairness, even in the absence of evidence? This extreme form of “precaution” reinforces a dangerous mindset: it is better to cut ties quickly, even unjustly, than to risk one’s own image. Such logic has resulted in what can only be described as a silent condemnation. No one explicitly declared him guilty, yet the hurried decisions conveyed precisely that message. A fundamental right was emptied of its meaning, replaced by reactions dictated by fear and self-interest.
By contrast, the actor’s position has been firm and consistent: he categorically denied the accusations, provided explanations, and initiated legal action against those who defamed him. If he fulfilled his duty to defend himself through legitimate means, then who truly failed in upholding the principle? The actor falsely accused, or the institutions and brands that rushed to judgment, denying him the most basic right of all, the presumption of innocence?
The case of Kim Soo Hyun should be viewed beyond its media dimension. It is a test of credibility for society, for the press, and for companies that publicly claim social responsibility. Because, in the end, the question is not only about one actor, but about how fragile a fundamental principle becomes when truth is eclipsed by panic and commercial interests.
We live in a time where manipulation is one of the strongest weapons, and where too many mistake headlines and…
I appreciate your thoughtful words. You've expressed something very important: truth without kindness can become harsh, and kindness without truth can lose depth. Both are needed to preserve our humanity, they help us to resist manipulation and build something lasting. Justice is not only about what we defend, but how we defend it: with dignity, fairness and compassion.
Thank you to each of you who show respect and love for those around you! After all, the beautiful people are the best energy for us all. I'm grateful for every soul who lifts others up, because every act of kindness is a spark that not only brightens our own lives, but also makes the whole world shine brighter.❤️ It's a reminder that love and respect truly make life meaningful.
So that is why you are shouting up and down 🤣🤣No its not going to be the end. KSH is one of the most respected…
You are so right, especially with the first part of the comment. If she and others like her had healthy communication and healthy relationships within their family of origin and beyond, they wouldn't have this sick mindset. It is simply impossible to have healthy relationships, healthy communication with those around you, but a sick mind. It is simply impossible.
So that is why you are shouting up and down 🤣🤣No its not going to be the end. KSH is one of the most respected…
Her account is made specifically to pour hate on this page and she is a user whose main account does the same thing. It's not even hard to figure out who she is, because...she's just stuck on some stuff and it's pretty easy to guess who she is and what kind of person she is. Exactly as you say, a bitter and, I would add, pathetic pers*n.
Kim Soo Hyun's fans are one of the most wonderful things that can happen to an artist.❤️ The constant support to keep him in as many rankings as possible shows how much he is loved. He won't be abandoned like other actors who have gone through difficult situations, because he has long since earned the audience's trust.
The misery he has to go through is very humiliating and every day he lives is a win for the foundations that will be laid in the future regarding artist contracts, cyberbullying and online harassment.
Anyone who wishes him death shows what dark thoughts a person can have, someone I can hardly call human. You are the only person who can save yourself from such a sick mind. Others can only pity you...

To be precise, Kim Sae-ron did not borrow money from Kim Soo-hyun personally. The loan came from Golden Medalist,…
Everyone knows this, but somehow some tried to accuse him of not helping her when she called him, suggesting that he might have had some influence due to his status in solving her problem.
Honestly its ridiculous how Frombio accuses KSH's response and expect him to take liability for something like…
I guess it was the only way to increase their chances against Kim Soo Hyun, besides, just like you said, they indirectly admit his innocence by doing this. It's a hard chain to break, the one in which Korean artists have to endure ruthless judgments. Everything these companies do is a form of harassment.
Why do Kim Soo Hyun's fans' actions and their support for him matter?
Visibility and moral support: →Fans physically occupying spaces, like streets or the actor's agency, with visible affirmations can lift morale and sway public sentiment.
Legal protection: → Filling defamation reports demonstrates proactive defense of his reputation, not just emotional support.
Cultural continuity: → Continued popularity through rankings and viral drama content reflects loyalty to his artistry, not just personal image.
Collective voice: → Global response, from trucks to petitions, show unified global fandom is engaged and organized.
Fans are not just quietly supporting him, they are spending money. That level of mobilization shows they BELIEVE STRONGLY in his integrity and character. It also suggests his long career has given audiences years of consistent professionalism and kindness off-screen, so they feel he deserves their defense. Even during controversy, his image as an actor remains intact. People separate the art from the rumors, which means his body of work is strong enough to withstand turbulence. The fact that fans from 15+ countries are joining efforts shows that Kim Soo Hyun is not just a Korean star, but a global cultural figure. His career choices and personality have made him someone fans feel protective toward.
Kim Soo Hyun has cultivated more than just casual popularity; he has earned trust, respect and love! His fans are not passive spectators; they are an active force that steps in to defend him in times of crisis. Their actions reflect not only admiration for his talent but also confidence in his personal integrity.
So, Kim Soo Hyun is seen as worth fighting for, and his fandom is proving that with action, not just words. ✮♥︎♡❤️
You may not want to admit it, but I know you see how unique his case is. No one is crazy enough to invest/spent money and time if they don't truly believe in the person behind the roles.
Well, to me, this is the most beautiful fandom on earth. No words can fully capture the hope, the love, and the boundless determination, that rises when we come together as one. For that I am deeply proud to stand with this family, this force, this light. 🙏🏼 And just so you know: Kim Soo Hyun didn't buy his crown, he built it! A remarkable legacy with a lot of effort and hard work.
Why was Kim Sae Ron’s 700 million won debt directed at Kim Soo Hyun?
The argument that “he has a lot of money, so he should have helped” is not worth debating; it is a claim beyond common sense. A person’s wealth is their own right, and there is no reason for them to be criticized for not paying off another’s debt. On the contrary, taking on a legal debt that occurred after a private relationship has ended is an abnormal intervention that cannot be forced upon anyone.
Sympathy may be necessary, but it should not be a tool to shift responsibility onto others or to unilaterally condemn an unrelated person. Emotion is just emotion; responsibility must fall squarely on the person who is responsible. We must not ignore the hatred and stigma that lie beneath what appears to be sympathy. This matter should be viewed based on facts and the principle of responsibility, not emotion.
Someone’s misfortune should not be a reason to shift responsibility to an unrelated third party.
There’s a proverb that says “Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” This best describes Kim Soo-hyun’s true character. If this wasn’t reported, I guess we will never know.
Kim Soo-hyun, being one of the highest paid Actor in South Korea with the highest per-episode fee in domestic drama history, around ₩500 million, made a deeply thoughtful and generous decision for his latest work, tvN’s Queen of Tears. He voluntarily reduced his fee by nearly 40%, accepting approximately ₩300 million per episode (₩50 billion total for a 16-episode run), a significant cut by his standards.
Kim Soo-hyun chose to share part of that reduced fee with unknown actors and the behind-the-scenes crew. His motivation goes beyond monetary gain; it reflects the trust and loyalty he shares with the show’s writer, Park Ji-eun, with whom he’s collaborated on multiple hit projects, including My Love from the Star Producer. He emphasized that for this project, meaning and artistic fulfillment outweighed financial gain.
Queen of Tears became one of the most talked-about dramas of the first half of 2024, soaring past a 14% viewership rating by episode six (and broke record ratings of 24.1% by episode 16) Kim Soo-hyun’s emotional depth and commitment to his role helped the drama resonate deeply with audiences.
This act of generosity didn’t go unnoticed. Fans and industry professionals praised him, with comments like:
“A true star shows it with their heart, not money.” “Because of Kim Soo-hyun, the drama set became warmer.”
On set, even the smallest roles and hard-working crew members felt the impact of his actions, with many acknowledging that his gesture improved morale and livelihood.
Kim Soo‑hyun’s decision to forgo part of his earnings is a rare blend of humility, empathy, and leadership, rooted in genuine care for others and respect for the collective creative effort. His generosity champions human connection, shared success, and dignity for all contributors, known or unknown.
When the damage was shouted from rooftops, don’t you dare think an apology can be whispered behind closed doors. The lies weren’t whispers. They were weaponized headlines, poisonous hashtags, and a global smear campaign. Soo Hyun’s name was dragged through the mud for the world to see, so don’t think silence or half-hearted excuses will ever be enough.
Those who betrayed him, who chose clout over truth, who fueled hate even after the facts were clear—you don’t get to walk away quietly. You owe a reckoning. You owe accountability. And you owe an apology as loud and relentless as the harm you unleashed.
We are not here to forgive. We are here to remember. To confront. To demand justice until every false voice is drowned out by the truth.
Anyone who still tries to make accusations without evidence seems like someone who wants to drive a car without a steering wheel. 😂You have to be stu*id to do something like that, and yet, she does it. 😂 This user is bored these days, so she started littering here and there with long nonsense, which she thinks is convincing stuff. . She must be on vacation and bored. Just barking nonsense, saying practically nothing concrete.
Wishing you a beautiful trip when you go too!
