Actress Kim Ji-soo recently addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding actor Kim Soo-hyun, who is currently facing allegations of dating a minor. On April 7, 2025, during her appearance on the Philippine reality show “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition,” Kim Ji-soo was asked about her relationship with Kim Soo-hyun. Her response, “Actually, no. I haven’t met him personally,” distanced her from the actor and sparked a range of reactions from the public.
The Backlash and Support
Kim Ji-soo’s statement drew mixed responses from netizens. Some fans of Kim Soo-hyun criticized her for what they perceived as an unnecessary comment, while others defended her for providing a straightforward and honest answer. This remark comes at a time when Kim Soo-hyun is embroiled in a scandal involving accusations of having a romantic relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron, a minor, as well as allegations of pressuring her over financial matters.
As public pressure mounts on celebrities associated with Kim Soo-hyun, some have distanced themselves from him. Actors such as Ahn Bo-hyun and Im Si-wan reportedly cleaned out their following lists on social media, while Jung Hae-in has faced criticism for continuing to follow Kim Soo-hyun despite the ongoing scandal.
Kim Soo-hyun’s Response to Allegations
Kim Soo-hyun has vehemently denied the allegations, including the claims that he was involved with Kim Sae-ron during her youth. On March 31, 2025, he held a press conference where he tearfully denied the accusations and filed a 12 billion KRW defamation lawsuit against her family, asserting that the allegations were false.
Kim Ji-soo’s Past Controversy
