every time i call him out, his fans scream "no proof," and when proof is shown, they hit me with a word salad. it’s not just me—others deal with this too. it’s not that i don’t want to educate them, but talking to a wall is pointless. he'll always have fans because male-centered women exist, but what disgusts me is how they still tear down kim saeron even after her passing, while blaming her family for addressing the issue. the mental gymnastics are insane. if they want to stan, fine—just do it quietly instead of slut-shaming a victim who took her own life. my heart feels heavy after reading her mom’s letter. no parents are perfect, but saeron never spoke ill of her family. this whole situation is exhausting. some people have zero empathy and will go to any lengths for korean men who wouldn’t even glance at them if not for their money.
He is not a pedo! Be educated for once! And be logical too!
telling me to be "educated and logical" is funny coming from a kim soohyun apologist who takes gold medalist’s lies as gospel. i’m not wasting time arguing with you—if you actually cared about the victim, you’d do your own research from objective sources. go spam his defense on mdl all you want, but people with common sense are calling him out as the pedophile he is everywhere else. bye.
Late Kim Saeron’s family decided to do Photo forensics.
“We just wanted an apology from Kim Soohyun, but the statement is disappointing. Photos that can prove that you were in a relationship with Saeron as a minor will be forensically proven.”
sorry, but i just can’t with his fans who keep saying, “we don’t know what actually happened” when all the evidence is literally everywhere online. if they actually cared and wanted to educate themselves, they would. now that her family is taking this to the police, there’s going to be an investigation—because no one goes through all that without proof and a valid reason. just admit you don’t have morals and still wanna support him instead of pretending to be all neutral and above it all. supporting a predator doesn’t make you open-minded; it makes you part of the problem. you’re not just excusing his actions—you’re making it harder for other victims to come forward because people like you will always be there to blame them.
Question?For those commenting here.Who has ever attended the death of an ex ?
actress shin se kyung showed up to shinee's jonghyun’s funeral despite all the hate she got when they dated. meanwhile, kim soohyun couldn’t even drop a condolence post or send funeral wreaths for kim saeron. even if we set aside the grooming allegations, he had known her since she was a child, she worked for him, and she played a role in building his company. yet he had time to post birthday gifts on instagram, attend a party, and send bubble messages about his own birthday. other celebrities with way less history with her still made time to pay their respects. says a lot about his character and lack of remorse.
reminder that being a fan doesn’t mean you have to compromise your morals or twist logic to defend your favorite artist. loving their work or visuals doesn’t excuse their wrongdoings. it’s possible to appreciate art while acknowledging flaws and holding people accountable. blind loyalty can lead to ignoring harmful behavior, which isn’t healthy for anyone.
in this case, it’s not just a mistake—it’s a crime. a series of horrible actions that cost kim saeron her life. while he’s not the only one responsible, if he had never met her, the chances of her still being alive and thriving as an actress would be high. she had so much ahead of her, but he groomed and ruined her.
no amount of media play, paid bots, cyberwreckers, or delusional fans’ coke-fueled rants can change the fact that kim soohyun is a pedophile and a danger to society. i truly hope kim saeron is in a better place and knows how deeply she is loved.
just seeing the title of this drama still leaves a bad taste. i've rooted for kim jiwon since 'high kick,' but never watched 'queen of tears'—even before kim soohyun was exposed as a pedophile and an overall horrible person, he always gave me the ick with his past statements and behavior. i found him mediocre in both acting and visuals, so i avoided anything he was in. the way their shippers attacked kim saeron just for "ruining" their moment was nasty, and those posts got thousands of likes. i can’t take shippers who can't separate fiction from reality seriously. next time, use common sense and a moral compass instead of jumping to conclusions and being aggressive—it could cost someone their life. those who bullied kim saeron are also guilty of her suffering. i hope she rests in peace and that the truth comes to light.
this is gonna be long, but just to clarify—i’m not a troll. i’ve been into kdramas for a while and visit this site sometimes, but never signed up because kdrama spaces on social media can be toxic, especially with male-centered fangirls and aggressive shippers.
i’ve never been a fan or hater of kim soohyun, just always found him mediocre. some things he’s said and done gave me the ick, so he’s not someone i’d ever stan. i did watch dream high, only for the other cast. on the other hand, i’ve been rooting for kim jiwon since high kick, i was happy for her success with queen of tears—i didn’t watch it because of soohyun.
i wasn’t a fan of kim saeron either, however i followed her situation. when her dui scandal happened, she apologized and took responsibility. dui is serious, fortunately she didn’t harm anyone, paid for damages, and other actors have done worse while continuing their careers. hence i believed she deserved a second chance.
when she posted that selfie with soohyun, i knew something was up. no one does that for no reason. unfortunately, it happened at the peak of queen of tears hype, so shippers attacked her without knowing the full story. this just proved how toxic kdrama fans can be. after learning more about her life, i was devastated.
with all the evidence from her family and garesero, compared to soohyun and gold medalist’s statements and media play, anyone who thinks objectively can see who’s guilty. although considering korean law and the power backing him, he might not face legal consequences, as international audiences, we can keep the conversation going and boycott him. his image as a hallyu star is his biggest asset, so if that gets ruined, it’ll hit him hard. it’s good to see brands dropping him—i hope he loses drama roles too.
as a human, a woman, and someone who’s experienced something similar to kim saeron, i feel the least i can do to honor her is to keep spreading awareness. kim soohyun is a pedophile, a groomer, a power tripper, and kim saeron was his victim—her childhood, innocence, dreams, and eventually life were stolen from her because of him. may truth and justice prevail. rest in peace, kim saeron.
