Kim Soo Hyun dodged questions about Kim Sae Ron and walked off the stage after a reporter asked him about it. Well, he has been being bashed for his act.
Kim Soo Hyun has recently hosted a press conference wherein he straightaway denied dating the late actress, Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor. For the unversed, Kim Sae Ron passed away at the age of 24 on February 16, and it was on the same day as Soo Hyun's birthday, which gave rise to several dark theories, which later intensified as several allegations were heaved upon the actor and his agency. Amid all this, on March 31, 2025, he denied all the allegations. However, he was slammed further for his act.
While talking at the press conference, Kim Soo Hyun cried and stated that all the allegations were wrong. He accepted dating Sae Ron, but that was only when she reached a certain age. Soo Hyun stated that he dated Sae Ron for one year, and at first, he couldn't accept the same as he is a lead star of the show, Queen of Tears. Thus, for the sake of the show and the cast, he couldn't come forward and say 'yes' to his and Sae Ron's dating buzz. He also denied the fact that his agency has pressured Sae Ron to pay the debt for her DUI case, as alleged by the actress' family members.
While he clarified the allegations, netizens still couldn't fully believe it and tagged Soo Hyun's act of crying as 'crocodile tears'. In a video, Soo Hyun could be seen walking off the stage with tears in his eyes as soon as a reporter asked him a simple question about Sae Ron. The female reporter simply asked Soo Hyun where he first met Sae Ron. Well, the way Soo Hyun dodged the question and walked off the stage, it brought him a huge blow of criticism from the netizens.
One user commented, "That's why bro was the highest paid actor but that ain't no real tears." A second user penned, "Bro was like: that wasn’t on the script." A third user commented, "Sorry ma'am that wasn't in the script, please don't blame him he tried his best without retakes ." Another user questioned, "What’s the point of having a press conference if you’re not gonna answer the questions asked by the reporter?"
Kim Soo Hyun expressed his fear that new false evidence would be pilled up against him to prove him as the murderer of Kim Sae Ron. Meanwhile, reports claimed that his agency, Gold Medalist filed criminal cases against Kim Sae Ron's family and Garo Sero Yeonguso YouTube channel's operator, along with a lawsuit of 12 billion won.
