Amidst ongoing discussions surrounding Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron, a resurfaced post from Kim Soo Hyun’s university classmate has drawn significant attention online. The post details a time when Kim Soo Hyun was deeply upset after an advertisement contract cancellation resulted in his agency facing substantial penalty fees. This revelation has sparked reactions from netizens, particularly in light of recent events.
University Classmate’s Account
The online post, reportedly from a classmate who took the college entrance exam with Kim Soo Hyun, recounts an incident that occurred around the time of his university orientation. The classmate described encountering Kim Soo Hyun in the waiting room during the second round of the exam, noting that they were the only one who recognized him as a celebrity at the time.
The post then shifts to an incident involving a “big shopping website,” which allegedly happened a few days before orientation. According to the classmate, this incident caused Kim Soo Hyun considerable distress.

And Soo HyunโฆI took the college entrance exam with him. During the second round, we had the same time slot, so we were in the waiting room together, but I was the only one who recognized him as a celebrity. No one knew he was a celebrityโฆ
And with the big shopping website incident, for him, it was a mix of wanting to cry, feeling wronged, and wanting to give up. This incident happened a few days before orientation. Because he was working on a show then, he came to orientation at night and got in huge trouble from a senior.
I was going around to different rooms checking on the kids to see if they were drunk, so I observed Soo Hyun closely. Anyway, he cried, saying he was really sorry.
He said he couldnโt forget the newspaper that first published the negative article about him. He said he wanted to die at the time as he was on the verge of signing a contract with Olympusโฆbut it ended up being canceled, and his company had to pay huge penalty fees..he was really upset.
The classmate’s account suggests that Kim Soo Hyun was deeply affected by the contract cancellation with Olympus, particularly due to the financial repercussions for his company.
Netizens’ Reactions
Korean netizens who came across this resurfaced post expressed disbelief and shock. Many commented on the irony of Kim Soo Hyun allegedly being distressed by penalty fees in the past, given the recent reports of his agency’s actions towards Kim Sae Ron. Some netizens speculated that the “big shopping website panties incident” mentioned in the post might be the reason for the past penalty fees.
I guess he was charged a penalty fee for the shopping website panties incident? I didnโt know that. They are probably holding on now because of the past. The moment they apologize, they pay the penalty. But the person who wrote the post really canโt write for sh*t.

The reactions indicate that this past experience of Kim Soo Hyun has influenced how some members of the public are viewing the current situation involving him and Kim Sae Ron.
Further Developments
This revelation comes amidst reports of a second certified letter sent by Kim Soo Hyun’s agency to Kim Sae Ron. This letter reportedly threatened legal action if Kim Sae Ron caused damage to an upcoming drama. The discovery of this letter by Kim Sae Ron’s bereaved family has further fueled the ongoing controversy.
