Some trucks have also been parked outside Disney Korea's office to express disappointment after the shoot of Soo Hyun's next show, Knock Off, was recently halted.
What Is The Entire Kim Soo Hyun-Kim Sae Ron Dating Scandal?
Kim Soo Hyun has been accused of dating the late actress Kim Sae Ron when she was just a minor. So far, the latter's family has made several allegations against Soo Hyun. However, Kim Soo Hyun recently held a press conference and addressed allegations. He said, 'I'll address the biggest concern—I did not date the deceased when she was a minor. We dated five years ago for about a year, long before Queen of Tears aired."
The actor also explained why he denied dating Sae Ron earlier, saying, 'As the lead actor of Queen of Tears, I couldn't confirm the relationship publicly because of its potential impact on the cast and crew." Kim also denied accusations that his agency pressured Sae Ron over her debts, saying, 'Aside from the fact that we were both actors, we were simply an ordinary couple who broke up over time."
Amid the ongoing controversy, Kim Soo Hyun's career has gone for a toss. His projects have been halted and brand deals have also been cancelled.
