A past incident involving Kim Soo Hyun’s former manager has resurfaced, catching the attention of many online. This comes amid ongoing discussions about Kim Soo Hyun. The manager’s prior sexual assault case from 2012 has created a stir among netizens.
The Resurfaced News
An old news article, detailing the sexual assault arrest of Kim Soo Hyun’s manager, gained significant traction on online community boards. The 2012 report stated the man, in his twenties at the time, was arrested for sexual assault. Police officials described him as a “typical sex offender with a sexual addiction,” who targeted women in their twenties and thirties living alone, particularly during evening hours.
The report also mentioned that the manager was a friend of Kim Soo Hyun.
Netizen Reactions and Past Comments
Comments from when the incident occurred provided further context. Some users claimed the manager was Kim Soo Hyun’s classmate and close friend.
“Kim Soo Hyun’s manager is his friend, and they are classmates. After filming ‘The Moon Embracing the Sun,’ his friend said he was getting more popular and laughed. I’m not sure if it’s that manager or the new manager he had after moving agencies.”
“Yes, they are indeed friends. He is 24 and 180cm tall and weighs 80 kg. I’m unsure how Kim Soo Hyun had this type of person as his manager.”
“Regardless of his fans going crazy about it…honestly, if they are friends and one of them is a sex offender..do you think Kim Soo Hyun is going to be normal? Plus, having this type of person close to him as a manager just means they have something in common. What is a celebrity manager anyway? It’s someone that stays next to them for 24 hours like a shadow.”
“I see them as similar kind..in terms of mindset, morals and ethics.”
At the time, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency requested that the manager’s name be removed from news articles, stating he was not his dedicated manager. However, long-time fans maintained that the man was a close friend.
Korean netizens expressed shock and concern upon the news resurfacing.
“How close were they to have him as his manager.”
“Wow, this is the first time I’ve heard about this.”
“So crazy, I have goosebumps.”
“This is something more serious than a misdemeanor.”
“Birds of a feather flock together.”
