Kim Sae-ron's 'Bitsak' dating rumor issue was called out for crossing the line

Why is there a sudden thunderstorm? Singer IU was suddenly recalled due to the issue of dating rumors with actor Kim Soo-hyun, which were raised by actress Kim Sae-ron.

In the early morning of the 24th, Kim Sae-ron posted a photo of herself face to face with actor Kim Soo-hyun through her SNS. The photo was deleted after 3 minutes, but Kim Soo-hyun's expression was misleading. This quickly spread through online communities and social media, and eventually led to rumors of a romantic relationship.

In response to this, some members of the public recalled a photo of IU and former Super Junior member Eunhyuk. IU posted a photo taken with Eunhyuk on her SNS in 2012 and quickly deleted it. Some netizens raised the controversy by recalling an old incident from 12 years ago, saying that Kim Sae-ron's behavior and IU's behavior were similar.

The same was true for some media outlets. By linking Kim Sae-ron's issue with the cases of IU and Eunhyuk, an unnecessary controversy was created. Many fans and the public frowned at this.

The key issue of this controversy is why Kim Sae-ron created a dating rumor by uploading a photo taken with Kim Soo-hyun in the early morning, and whether there was an intention behind it. Recalling the past outside of the issue will only create unnecessary controversy and tire out the public.

Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun's side regarding the dating rumor that Kim Sae-ron herself posted is "unfounded" and added, "The photos that are spreading online appear to have been taken in the past when they were under the same agency, and the intention behind Kim Sae-ron's behavior is completely unknown." I drew it.

Legal action was also announced. Kim Soo-hyun's side said, "As a result of the photo in question, unnecessary misunderstandings and speculations about the actor are rampant, and our company will take strong action through our legal representative, a law firm, against malicious slander and insulting posts that defame the actor's personality and reputation. “It is,” he emphasized.
