My Way

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

Hit by karma?

@Sombrero, @Athena, thank you!❤️

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.

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.

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.

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...
