Despite mounting allegations surrounding actor Kim Soo Hyun’s alleged past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron, his loyal fanbase continues to stand firmly by his side. The controversy, which initially surfaced over a month ago, has intensified with new claims and legal action by Kim Sae Ron’s family.
Press Conference Sparks Fan Support Movement
On May 7, Kim Sae Ron’s family held a press conference where they revealed filing a legal complaint against Kim Soo Hyun. Outside the venue, fans of the Queen of Tears star displayed their unwavering support through a series of support trucks adorned with messages like, “We will be together with actor Kim Soo Hyun,” and “Let’s be together for a long time as fan and actor.” Other signs advocated for his now-paused Disney+ drama Knock Off and urged the public to give the actor a fair chance.
This is not the first time his fans have publicly defended him. Earlier, LED trucks with messages such as “Truth will prevail” were spotted across Seoul, including outside Disney Korea’s headquarters. Many of these efforts were reportedly initiated by his Chinese fanbase.
