Kim Soo-hyun Faces Potential Fallout Amidst Controversy with Late Kim Sae-ron

Kim Soo-hyun's public image may suffer a significant blow. The worst-case scenario could see him stepping down from the variety show 'Good Day' and facing delays in the release of his upcoming project 'Knock Off'.

Amidst denials from Kim Soo-hyun's representatives regarding a six-year romantic relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron, a photo surfaced on the 11th showing Kim Soo-hyun kissing Kim Sae-ron on the cheek. The family of Kim Sae-ron claims that Kim Soo-hyun was involved with her when she was a minor.

Additionally, a YouTube channel released messages allegedly sent by Kim Sae-ron to Kim Soo-hyun, containing pleas such as "I really can't if you ask for 700 million won right now" and "Please save me."

Kim Soo-hyun's agency has firmly denied both dating rumors, stating they are "groundless" and announced plans for legal action against the YouTube channel. However, Kim Soo-hyun himself has not made a personal statement.

The claims made by an individual identified as A, who is said to be a relative of Kim Sae-ron, have not been verified. If proven true, Kim Soo-hyun could face accusations of grooming a minor.

Netizens are already calling for his departure from 'Good Day', suggesting he should leave to avoid affecting the show, which is centered around G-Dragon.

Disney+'s new drama 'Knock Off' is also in a difficult position. Kim Soo-hyun is reportedly in the final stages of filming Season 2. Although Season 1 is set for release, there are rumors that its premiere might be postponed.
