As scheduled, Kim Soo-hyun held a press conference today, March 31, accompanied by his lawyer, to address recent controversies. First apologizing with a deep 90-degree bow, the South Korean actor admitted to being a coward and prioritizing himself but denied ever grooming late actress Kim Sae-ron or dating her when she was underage.
He confirmed they had a one-year relationship but he had previously denied it due to there being too much at stake during Queen of Tears. The 37-year-old actor denied involvement in what ultimately resulted in her death and refuted claims that his agency pressured her over debts. Kim also alleged he was being blackmailed with manipulated evidence, including leaked private photos, and played recordings to challenge accusations from Kim Sae-ron’s family and former agency representative.
The actor’s career came to a halt when allegations involving the late Kim Sae-ron first surfaced. Recently, late actress Sulli’s family also accused him of pressuring her into nude scenes in Real, which his agency denies. Today marked the first time Kim Soo-hyun publicly addressed the rumors after weeks of back-and-forth between his agency and his accusers. Meanwhile, he has lost endorsements, and his upcoming big-budget Disney+ drama Knock-Off has been postponed. Despite his emotional cries throughout the presscon, backlash continues as many remain unconvinced.

I honestly don’t think he was convincing enough. The tears looked fake, couldn’t differentiate them from the ones he shed for Queen of Tears.

Give the man his Oscar cause lol first of her family should also be investigated because they pumped her out. Secondly after Queen of Tears finished you had time to go and party for the must you could have clarified. Third why were you hanging out with a teenager at 27? Four the only reason you care now is because your innocent image is no more. Now you can’t “seduce” innocent victims. Cause everyone will see you a mile away. So any one who believes this crocodile tears is should look within.
