Sunny Day

This is an article from 2020, but it makes it very clear that there is a trend of suicide among celebrities. But, as it says:
“I can’t explain why so many South Korean entertainers have taken their own lives. We can’t pretend to know each motivation, whether it be money problems, relationships, family issues, declining popularity, online abuse, or any number of other factors. Attempting to explain each death would just encourage the trolls.”

By the way, do you have any his movie or drama recommendations? Something with action or suspense?

The media campaign to discredit and smear Kim Soo Hyun is astonishing. The same topic has been recycled in headlines for over a week now. When I read titles like "Kim Soo Hyun Lost His Apartment," "Unable to Pay," or "Faces 7.3 Billion Won Lawsuit," I feel compelled to repeat: these bombastic headlines have little to no connection with legal reality.
Being sued because one party in a contract claims damages does not automatically imply those damages are justified or will be granted. In this case, the contractual termination was unilateral, not because Kim Soo Hyun failed to fulfill his obligations or performed them defectively, but because of a series of public accusations which, to this day, remain unproven.
Although I’ve said it before, it bears repeating: if the damages claim is accepted before the resolution of the criminal complaint filed by Kim Soo Hyun against Garosero, KSR's family, and others, Kim Soo Hyun has full legal grounds to turn against Garosero et co. and recover any damages or amounts he may have been compelled to pay due to this situation, assuming, of course, that the criminal proceedings rule in his favor.
Spoiler alert: Kim Soo Hyun’s legal team has formally requested a digital forensic investigation by the National Forensic Service into all the evidence submitted against him. The results of these expert reports could justify the suspension of all lawsuits filed against him until the complaint against Garosero, KSR’s family, the so-called aunt, and various other characters is fully resolved.
Ironically, a precautionary seizure of Kim Soo Hyun’s assets may work in his favor. Not only can it justify the suspension of the civil compensation proceedings, but it also serves as evidence of the damage he has suffered, strengthening his own case for claiming compensation from Garosero & Co.
Let’s now clarify two legal concepts that have been misrepresented in the media: precautionary seizure and enforceable title.
a) The establishment of a precautionary measure or the mere filing of a damages lawsuit does not mean someone has “lost” their property, such as, in this case, an apartment. It doesn’t even mean the alleged creditor has prevailed in court. To prevail, they must first win the compensation/damages case.
So, what is a precautionary measure, and why is it used?
A precautionary seizure is a legal step taken to freeze movable or immovable assets in the debtor’s (or even a third party’s) possession. It aims to ensure that, should the creditor later obtain an enforceable title, the assets are available to satisfy the debt.
At the moment the seizure is applied, no enforceable title exists, only a presumed claim.
b) An enforceable title is a legally issued document (typically a court decision) based on which the creditor can initiate forced execution to compel the debtor to fulfill his obligation.
In Kim Soo Hyun’s case, any compensation that might hypothetically arise from the contract would still require an enforceable title—a court decision establishing whether compensation is owed, and if so, how much (unless clearly specified in the contract itself).
In summary: Based on the forensic results, Kim Soo Hyun has the legal option to suspend the ongoing damages lawsuits—or to allow them to proceed, knowing that any attempted forced execution can later be suspended. The latter may even be preferable: if the courts eventually rule in favor of Kim Soo Hyun in the criminal complaint filed against Garosero et comp., and he has, in the meantime, been forced to pay damages, but the forced execution was suspended, his creditors will have the right to recover those amounts from Garosero, KSR’s family, the so-called aunt, and the rest of the ensemble.
Enjoy the party. Just don’t forget who sent the invitations. I’m sure the bill ends up at the right table.

I wrote a little below about my impression of the protection provided to Garosero and the level of corruption in certain police stations and posted links to corruption cases, so I won't repeat myself.
I would like to answer the last question, though.
I usually weigh pros and cons from various sources to form a general opinion. News from domestic sources is my starting point. After that, I seek out sources from outside the country that can be independently verified, preferably those that do not simply reproduce domestic narratives, but present facts based on their own sources.
I cannot point to a single source as definitive. Official statements matter, but they must not be taken ad litteram.
The media often engages in opinion manipulation, which is why it is essential not to limit oneself to articles that align with one’s own preconceived ideas or objectives.
Never overlook the fact that one of the core subjects studied in journalism faculties is precisely the techniques of manipulating public opinion. If you wish not to be manipulated, you must analyze, as I have described.
One more point: in the mass media, facts are frequently exaggerated or presented only in part, so as to arouse the curiosity of the public. The type of message conveyed is tailored to the target audience, usually after surveys have been conducted to assess preferences. Sadly, the whole truth is rarely, if ever, found in the media.
It can only be extracted after a thorough analysis of all sources and, even then, some elements will remain obscured, known only to the individuals or institutions involved. Involuntarily, I find myself comparing the media to parliament: the more diverse and conflicting the voices, the faster the veritas begins to surface.
Take, for example, the case of Kim Soo Hyun. The media echoed the story launched by Garosero, perpetuating it because they saw it resonated with the public. By analyzing KSH's popularity metrics, it became clear to all that this was not a topic to be dismissed. The more inflammatory the content, the more eagerly it was consumed.
Even if such practices are ethically questionable, who really cares, as long as there are no concrete legal consequences in South Korea for those who collect and disseminate this type of so-called "news"?
There’s a telling sequence in the film My Love from the Star, in which an actress is falsely accused of having caused another actress’s suicide. At one point, someone remarks: Who cares whether she’s guilty or not? The audience needs a scapegoat.

Yes, don't bother reading such messages or replying to them.
Because here she comes again, self-declared goddess of the page, descending from her imaginary throne to enlighten the mere mortals she so openly despises. She screams (virtually, of course) about misogyny while gleefully trying to humiliate other women, contradicting herself with every sentence she types.
She doesn’t stand for any cause. Not for KSR’s cause, not for women's rights, not even for a single coherent opinion about…anything. No, her purpose is far more grandiose, a personal stage for her delusions of superiority. She mocks others for “falling into her trap,” and congratulates herself as if trolling strangers online is some form of divine achievement.
It’s not strength she shows, it’s the echo of someone who’s deeply lonely, wildly insecure, and desperate to matter. Her words aren’t sharp; they’re hollow. Her so called "victories" exist only in her head, where sarcasm replaces substance, and bullying is mistaken for brilliance.
There’s no debate to be had, no insight to gain. She feeds off attention (any attention!) mistaking disgust for relevance. Let her spiral in her fantasy of control while we continue the conversation in reality, with clarity, respect, and purpose.
From now on, she’s not part of the dialogue. She’s background noise, fading, irrelevant, and ultimately powerless.
Let her preach in her imaginary kingdom, speak for herself, or with other trolls, thinking she's a winner. By the way, what's the prize?
Let that echo in its empty empire.

If Kim Soo Hyun wins, I believe it could mark a turning point in how S. Korea treats its celebrities. The media lynching and the relentless pressure of public opinion, pushing those people to the edge of the abyss, must stop. There have been far too many cases that ended tragically, too many who succumbed to the pressure, too many heartbreaking stories.
Regarding some of the messages on this site, I wanted to add another comment, but... instead, I’ll leave a link to a song, one that I associate with the (movie) Land of Happiness.
Korea, where is that land for you?

Of course, there’s always a strategy and constant monitoring for any wrong move by the opposing side. But I believe there’s an entire story behind all of this.

An investigation following a criminal complaint can range from several days to several months, depending on the complexity of the case and the availability of evidence. If the complainant does not possess the required evidence, it must be obtained from the accused party. In such cases, procedural steps, referred to as "evidence preservation measures", must be taken to secure and verify the evidence while preventing its destruction. It is possible that such a request was submitted, though it remains uncertain whether all relevant materials were turned over. For instance, if the investigation concerns messages on Kim Soo Hyun's phone, recovery would be relatively straightforward, as deleted data can typically be retrieved.
With regard to the audio recording, despite being made public and likely archived by Kim Soo Hyun’s team, technical analysis typically requires the original source file. Similarly, any photos or recordings reportedly from KSR’s phone should be examined directly on the original device or storage medium.
The complaint filed by KSR’s family against Kim Soo Hyun, based on that audio recording, implies the obligation to submit the original recording. Otherwise, there may be serious legal consequences, as previously mentioned.
We hope to receive a prompt response, so that any conclusions can be based not on assumptions, but on verified and expert-analyzed evidence.

The cause of the disappearance of KSR's family
Although KSR's family has not spoken publicly, they did file a complaint against Kim Soo Hyun based on that audio recording. As such, they are legally obligated to submit the original recording. Failure to do so could result in accusations of false or slanderous denunciation, a serious offense under the law. If proven, Kim Soo Hyun would have the right to pursue legal action in response, and the legal consequences could include imprisonment, depending on the severity of the allegations and their impact. This may explain the family's absence from public discourse, as many have begun to suspect the recording was inauthentic. One must also question the ethics of Gar*ser*, who allegedly knew the recording’s true nature yet acted otherwise. And as for the lawyer who provided legal counsel in this matter … no further comment is necessary.

It may be difficult to believe, but that particular date might simply represent a procedural step in which the parties were summoned to provide statements. However, it raises valid concerns specifically regarding the claim that Kim Se-eui was summoned by the police but chose not to appear. It’s important to note that Kim Se-eui has publicly stated he was never summoned. Furthermore, why was the date of the supposed summons made public? Was it merely intended to generate another media spectacle? The reasons behind certain procedural changes also remain unclear. Many questions persist, and it is possible that the information has been taken out of context or misrepresented. We will have to wait and see how events unfold.

Unfortunately, the first step is that Kim Soo Hyun's complaint must be investigated by the police. This police station has raised a lot of questions.
When there's a court restriction, if someone doesn't comply with the court order, they must be arrested. I don't understand what's going on in this case or why Gar*ser* seems to be above the law. Or, the explanation is…

https://www.chosun.com/national/incident/2024/11/07/EJW7YEDFWNDADMOSYKZI4IE3CE/#:~:text=2015%EB%85%84%20'%EC%A0%95%EC%9A%B4%ED%98%B8%20%EA%B2%8C%EC%9D%B4%ED%8A%B8'%20%EB%95%8C%EB%8A%94,%EA%B5%AC%EB%AA%A8%20%EA%B2%BD%EC%A0%95%EC%9D%B4%20%EA%B5%AC%EC%86%8D%EB%90%90%EB%8B%A4.&text=%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8%EA%B2%BD%EC%B0%B0%EC%84%9C%EA%B0%80%20%EC%96%B8%EB%A1%A0%EA%B3%BC,%EB%B2%84%EB%8B%9D%EC%8D%AC%20%EA%B2%8C%EC%9D%B4%ED%8A%B8'%20%EB%95%8C%EC%98%80%EB%8B%A4.

The investigation phase is progressing too slowly. Hopefully, the situation will improve once it reaches the court. Everyone is waiting for the truth to come out after all the evidence is verified.

It's not mentioned in this article, but usually when a police officer or prosecutor is convicted, even if they don't go to jail, they can no longer work in the same field. However, by receiving a large sum of money, they risk their profession, and even after being convicted, they often go on to live quite a comfortable life. At the very least, they don’t remain in the system.

But the same law should apply to those who make such information public. As we can see, leaks happen only in certain cases, specifically, the ones where profit can be made by the p*lice, pr*secut*rs, or the media. In the media, there's a real battle for breaking news because sensational stories generate money. But when humanity is forgotten, those stories end up being covered in blood

To say that denying a relationship leads to suicide is bizarre. In that case, more than half of the population would have committed suicide. Kim Soo Hyun may be unintentionally a part of context but he can’t be the single reason for her suicide.
Also, claiming that a person committed suicide for one single reason is a major error. Before suicide, there is a complex of circumstances, but especially signs that the person is having suicidal thoughts.
“There’s no single cause for suicide. Suicide most often occurs when stressors and health issues converge to create an experience of hopelessness and despair. “
https://afsp.org/risk-factors-protective-factors-and-warning-signs/
A person who has had suicidal thoughts or has stated several times that they have suicidal thoughts needs medical assistance and therapy, depending on the severity of the mental condition.
The reality of Kim Sae Ron is that she had a real struggle that time of her life and she had no support and probably she was in deep depresion.
Depression doesn’t com on instant, and can be cured before suicidal thoughts appear.
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9290-depression
Let’s look back at the circumstances: She was publicly ostracized for her drunk driving incident. She lost contracts, accumulated debt, had romantic disappointments, including a failed marriage, and there are suspicions that she had an abortion.
It seems that the family not only did not support her but relied on her earnings.
Close people, usually family, are the ones who must encourage the depressed person and convince them to accept therapeutic help.
Once the idea of suicide is overcome, the person can become a successful person.
Many women have achieved great success after enduring childhood abuse, depression and suicidal thoughts. While it's impossible to list all of them, see some well-known examples below:
Oprah Winfrey
• Background: Media mogul, philanthropist, and one of the most influential women in the world.
• Struggles: Oprah has spoken about her traumatic childhood, including abuse, poverty, and a period in her youth when she felt deeply hopeless. She admitted to having suicidal thoughts after becoming pregnant at age 14.
2. Lady Gaga
• Background: Grammy and Oscar-winning singer and actress.
• Struggles: Gaga has openly discussed her battles with PTSD, depression, and suicidal ideation. She has said that fame and trauma both contributed to her mental health struggles, and she’s been an advocate for mental health awareness through her Born This Way Foundation.
3. J.K. Rowling
• Background: Author of the Harry Potter series.
• Struggles: Rowling experienced severe depression and suicidal thoughts during her years as a single mother before achieving literary success. She has credited therapy and medical help for her recovery and has advocated for mental health treatment.
4. Taraji P. Henson
• Background: Academy Award-nominated actress and mental health advocate.
• Struggles: Henson has been vocal about experiencing depression and suicidal thoughts, especially during the pandemic. She later launched the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation to support mental health in the Black community.
5. Selena Gomez
• Background: Actress, singer, and producer.
• Struggles: Selena has shared her experiences with bipolar disorder, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Her documentary My Mind & Me dives deep into her mental health journey and emphasizes the importance of self-care and therapy.
6. Maya Angelou:
Angelou's autobiographical works, particularly "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," delve into her experiences with childhood trauma, including sexual abuse and racism. Her powerful storytelling and advocacy for social justice made her a celebrated author and poet.
Before accusing, let’s encourage people around us. Let’s do a better world through good thoughts and deeds.

Your news about Kim Soo Hyun denying the relationship with KSR really changes everything. Definitely deserves a spot in the official investigation file, maybe right next to the nation’s top secrets.
Reminds me of that flawless logic from Mad for Each Other, episode 1:
“I think he’s been following me from the front.”
“Shouldn’t he be behind you to follow you?”
“You’re right! How did he know where I was going?”
Honestly, maybe it’s more reliable to watch K-dramas than follow this kind of news. At least the plot twists there make sense.

Thank you, that's exactly what I meant to express. Agreeing with someone, regardless of who they are, reflects a shared mindset. There's a saying: "Tell me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are." I’d rephrase it: Tell me who you associate with, and I’ll tell you who you are.
Some people end up doing harm, even if they started with good intentions. And to be clear: I'm not referring to Garosero or KSR’s family.
Though I’ve said this before, it’s worth repeating: sometimes, warning signs are what save people.
Publicly accusing Kim Soo-Hyun in this way isn't about justice for KSR, it's a mirror of your own values. If he's guilty, let it be proven and let consequences follow. But to wish someone harm before guilt is established, while taking the word of someone like Garosero as gospel, only reveals a lack of critical thinking.
Here’s an objective take worth reading: https://vocal.media/writers/the-heroes-villains-journey .
I stand for real justice in the Kim Sae Ron's case, not public humiliation. People deserve support when they go through difficult times, even if they bear some responsibility, just like Kim Sae Ron, who faced intense public shaming after her DUI incident. We need less mob mentality, more humanity.
And honestly, it's absurd how some claim Kim Soo-Hyun doesn’t even read what’s posted here, so his supporters must only be attracted to his look. If that’s true, why are they here, desperately posting hateful messages to bring him down? He won’t read those either. So who is their target, really?
As for those who deliberately stir up conflict: they're just Garosero types. Well… at least Garosero makes a living out of it. The rest are doing it for … must be passion.

I wouldn’t hold out much hope for the present either. Garosero has always been a master of opportunism, a true chameleon when profit is on the line. If you look closely, you’ll see that he tried to cozy up to the current president before the election, on the very same day the court moved to suspend Lee Jae-myung’s case until after the election, just days after the Supreme Court overturned the favorable verdict and sent the case back for retrial. Coincidentally (or not!) that was also the day Garosero made his theatrical “revelation” about the attempted murder and the phone recording that cast Kim Soo Hyun as a killer. Absurd, yes, but it was a calculated move. A veiled message: Look at me protecting public opinion from turning against you, remember this, if you win.
And let’s be honest: if Kim Soo Hyun were really so powerful that justice couldn’t touch him, why didn’t he just buy his way to a verdict that protected his image? He didn’t, because he couldn’t.
Edit: Under the given circumstances, the prolonged inaction regarding the complaint filed by KSH against Garosero/Gaseyon, despite the statutory deadline for resolution having long passed, strongly suggests that Garosero is still benefiting from undue protection.
But the myth of KSH's power keeps people from seeing the obvious.

Why shouldn't I take into account what Gaseyon says?
His income depends on viewership and political backing, and that, in itself, is not something to criticize. However, when he chooses to support only those who serve his financial interests, even at the cost of distorting the truth or mocking deceased individuals, I believe he crosses a line I cannot and will not cross with him.
1. On December 26, Ga Se-yeon released a phone call between Lee Sun-kyun and a female manager of an adult entertainment establishment, which contained the real name, face, and private life of the female manager of the adult entertainment establishment. Lee Sun-kyun committed suicide a day after the phone call was released. When a lot of criticism poured in about this, a YouTube community criticized Lee Sun-kyun's suicide by mentioning former Seoul Mayor Park Won- soon.[5] Despite the fact that the results of the investigation into the drug suspicions were all negative, Lee Sun-kyun continued to make derogatory remarks such as “a drug criminal” and “he had to pay the price.”
