🌟 K-STAR NEWS | Kim Soo-hyun's Fans Take Legal Action Amid Rumors — A Look Back at His Stellar Career
Beloved Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun is once again at the center of public attention—not for a new drama, but for a serious situation involving online defamation. On April 22, both Korean and global fan alliances officially announced that they would pursue legal action against malicious commenters and false rumor spreaders.
But who is Kim Soo-hyun, and why are his fans so passionately standing up for him? Let’s take a look at both the recent events and his remarkable journey as one of Korea’s most acclaimed actors.
⚖️ Fans Unite Against Defamation and Rumors
In a joint statement, Kim Soo-hyun’s Korean and global fanbases said:
"We can no longer tolerate the ongoing malicious slander, spread of false information, defamation, and personal attacks toward Kim Soo-hyun."
Represented by attorney Yang Tae-young from the law firm Siwoo, the fan alliance has begun formal legal action, including third-party reports against harmful online posts and distorted media coverage. They emphasized that their move was voluntary and firm, aimed at protecting both the actor’s rights and the health of fan culture.
"Kim Soo-hyun has spent years quietly giving his best in his field. As fans, we believe it is our duty to protect his honor and dignity."
📉 False Allegations and Temporary Hiatus
Recently, Kim Soo-hyun became the subject of online rumors alleging he had a romantic relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron when she was still a minor. Additional accusations suggested he pressured her to repay debts related to a drunk driving accident. While these claims have no substantiated evidence, they spread widely online, causing confusion and backlash.
His agency, Gold Medalist, has already filed legal action against multiple parties—including certain YouTubers, self-proclaimed relatives of the deceased, and known malicious commenters.
