Kim Soo-hyun Denies Underage Dating Claims Amid Controversy

News summary

South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun has come under fire amid allegations of dating the late actress Kim Sae-ron when she was underage, leading to significant backlash and the severing of ties with several brands. In a recent press conference, he publicly apologized for the pain caused by the controversy, expressing sadness over Kim Sae-ron's death and denying that their relationship began while she was a minor. Kim emphasized that he did not pressure her financially or contribute to her tragic decision to take her own life, asserting that their relationship was consensual and occurred four years prior. He acknowledged his past denial of their relationship, admitting to prioritizing his public image over personal authenticity, and expressed regret for not being more transparent. The controversy, which began earlier this month after a YouTube channel made claims about their relationship, has sparked a heated public discourse, with Kim's agency filing lawsuits for defamation against those spreading false information. The ongoing situation reflects the complex interplay of celebrity culture, public scrutiny, and personal tragedy in South Korea.
