Lee Jin Ho makes NEW CLAIMS amid Kim Soo Hyun-Kim Sae Ron controversy
Controversial YouTuber and former journalist Lee Jin Ho has been actively taking part in the late Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun 's case. The online personality has made various revelations throughout the case in order to debunk the late actress's family's claims of Soo Hyun dating Sae Ron when she was still a minor. In recent claims, he has uploaded another video to his channel sharing evidence of the duo's dating history and debunking the alleged claims. Lee Jin Ho shared that Soo Hyun and Sae Ron dated in 2019, when the actress was an adult In new claims uploaded to a video online, Lee Jin Ho shared that Kim Sae Ron's phone was a crucial piece of evidence in the case. Various selfies and photos of the duo have been shared online, many of which the family of Kim Sae Ron claims are from 2015-2016. Lee Jin Ho picked one specific photo, the one where Soo Hyun is seen wearing a black cap while both he and Sae Ron are wearing the same kind of red-and-black puffer jackets. The YouTuber claimed that the mirror selfie cannot be from 2016, as it was taken from an iPhone 11, which was only released much later in 2019. Kim Sae Ron's family had made claims that the photo was from 2016 based on the 'It's Okay To Not Be Okay' actor's 2016-era baseball cap. He shared the photo in his video and talked about how the claims of it being from 2016 were false, as reusing an old accessory is not proof enough. He stated in his video that 'The model of the phone doesn't match the claimed timeline.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like People Born 1940-1975 With No Life Insurance Could Be Eligible For This Reassured Get Quote Undo More about Lee Jin Ho's claims Lee Jin Ho has been regularly uploading videos that 'debunk' all of the claims that Kim Sae Ron's family as well as CEO Kim Se Eui from HoverLab have been making against the actor.

Star-studded K-dramas with next-level casting and unforgettable cameos

'Crash Landing on You' (2019-2020) Starring: Son Ye-jin, Hyun Bin, Kim Jung-hyun, Seo Ji-hye Cameos: Kim Soo-hyun (in full Secretly, Greatly regalia), Choi Ji-woo (as herself) Part forbidden romance, part political fairy tale, this drama didn't just unite North and South Korea (fictionally, of course) — it also united some of Korea's most bankable stars. Son Ye-jin brings grace and grit as chaebol heiress Yoon Se-ri, while Hyun Bin melts screens as stoic North Korean officer Ri Jeong-hyeok. The supporting cast? Already leads in their own right. And just when viewers thought the casting couldn't get better, in walks Kim Soo-hyun as his undercover agent character from another film universe, and Choi Ji-woo as a wink to her legacy in K-drama royalty. It's less of a drama, more of a constellation. 3. 'Queen of Tears' (2024) Starring: Kim Soo-hyun, Kim Ji-won, Park Sung-hoon, Kwak Dong-yeon Cameo: Song Joong-ki Hae-in (Kim Ji-won), a chaebol heiress, and Hyun-woo (Kim Soo-hyun), her husband from humble beginnings, find their love tested when she is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Melodrama, power struggles, and emotional gut punches ensue—but it's the prestige cast that elevates this makjang-meets-romance to K-drama elite.

Actor Kim Soohyun Sued For RM8mil By Advertisers Over Recent Controversies
After causing damage to brands and companies' image with his recent scandal, Korean actor Kim Soohyun (김수현) was hit with his first lawsuit from an advertiser. Not only that, but more companies might soon follow suit. According to reports, two companies, A and B, had recently filed lawsuits against Kim Soohyun and his agency, Gold Medalist. The two companies had advertising contracts with the star and are now seeking the return of modelling fees and damages. While the exact amount is unknown, the combined amount that A and B are seeking as compensation reportedly exceeds KRW 3 billion (approximately RM8.6 million). More advertisers are also expected to join the legal battle against the actor. Another company, C, is considering filing a lawsuit against Kim Soohyun, citing breach of trust as the grounds for terminating their advertising contract. The company is seeking either the return of modelling fees or penalties. Before his scandal, the 'Queen of Tears' actor was reportedly one of South Korea's highest-paid actors and advertising models. A South Korean lawyer explained the situation, saying, 'Kim Soohyun has signed advertising model contracts with 15 brands, each valued between KRW 1 billion (approximately RM2.9 million) and KRW 1.2 billion (approximately RM3.6 million). Usually, companies are reluctant to make it known that they were the first to file a lawsuit against a model. However, once one company files a lawsuit, more will join.' There were previous allegations that the actor would face lawsuits for breaching contracts with his recent controversies. However, this is the first instance of an advertising company directly suing Kim Soohyun and his company. There's no telling how much the actor will be sued for. However, based on the figures, the total amount involved in the entire lawsuit could exceed KRW 10 billion (approximately RM30.1 million). We're sure these companies have their reason for taking Kim Soohyun to court. What are your thoughts on this? Source: YTN
