I even dropped the Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl halftime GIF in the comments of Kim Soo Hyun’s last Instagram post. Someone like Kendrick needs to exist in the Korean scene to call him out with a diss track.

I know, right? I felt sick when I found out the age of consent was 13. And that’s in a country that’s incredibly intolerant of teen pregnancy. The hypocrisy is unreal.

Fr, even the most unhinged author couldn’t come up with a storyline this messed up. Bro really turned his life into a psychological thriller—except there’s no fiction here, just straight-up predatory behavior.

Exactly why the best course of action is to boycott him entirely. Based on the evidence, it's clear he deserves a social trial because, legally, he’ll probably walk away unscathed. South Korea’s past laws may have enabled this, but that doesn’t mean people should just accept it. If the system won’t hold him accountable, the public absolutely should.

The fact that the released photos were just the ones she had is already disturbing enough. I don’t even want to imagine what kind of pictures or videos he might have kept. Given everything we know, it wouldn’t be shocking if there was something even worse—probably erased by now, but the thought alone is sickening. He truly is a disgusting piece of shit.

I know, he was off attending GD’s event or something—just goes to show how heartless he really is. Even Won Bin, who has been on a long hiatus since his 2010 film "The Man from Nowhere" with Kim Sae-ron, made a rare public appearance to pay his respects at her funeral. But this man? He decided that ignoring her entirely was the best course of action. Seriously, wth 🤢

Mess* (not message)

In my heart, I had already blamed him for all of this message on the day of her funeral. Fine, maybe they had a fallout—but she was part of his agency, and he had known her since she was a child. How could he just turn a blind eye to her death like it meant nothing? 😭

I completely agree—there’s no way they’d be that close in a photo if it was just sibling-like affection. And if he was truly that “brotherly,” why didn’t he attend her funeral? Why didn’t he even acknowledge her passing with a simple post? Instead, he went about his work. The excuses just don’t add up.

Ew, just when you think it can’t get worse, it somehow does. Certified lover boy? More like certified creep. A 30-year-old writing "I love you" to a 17-year-old while serving in the military? That’s not just uncomfortable—it’s outright disturbing. Every new detail about this man is like peeling back layers of something rotten.

If it's true that Won Bin offered to pay but was turned down, it was likely a calculated move—either to blackmail her into silence in case she saw through the manipulation or simply as a sick form of control over her.

Yes. As clear as a cloudless blue sky, it's undeniable that Kim Soo Hyun is the company's greatest asset. Even if he weren’t the owner, supporting him would still have been their smartest move. After all, he's a leading male actor, and in just a few years, he'll be celebrated for overcoming this phase of his life—like it was some grand achievement. 🤢

Absolutely. It’s heartbreaking how the industry chose to remain silent. But the silence, as you said, speaks volumes. It’s a cruel reality—connections and fame often overshadow genuine support and loyalty.

Yea. And the other's saying his agency has defended him so it's false accusations. Like you realise it is his own agency right?

That's why it's funny when his fans insist it's false just because his agency denied it. Do they really think the agency would throw him under the bus?

Oh. In my country, the chances of anyone earning that much over their lifetime on an average salary are quite low—unless they run a highly successful business, make smart stock investments, become top-tier actors, have shady connections, rise to the highest levels of politics, or climb the corporate ladder to the highest-paying positions.

As far as I remember, the company was established by his cousin and a producer who had worked with him. Anyways, it's as good as saying he mostly had a say in these decisions. I doubt Sae Ron would have sent that desperate message to him, unless she knew he could help her.

That's why the fact that her agency did that to her feels so icky. Like how'd you expect she'd be able to pay this much, especially when she wasn't even allowed to work properly 😔

Exactly. I mean she started off as a child actress. I doubt she'd been paid as much as most adult side actors.

No wonder she couldn't pay it back. The way some people tell it was JUST 700 million won 😑
