An old social media post, allegedly written by actor Kim Soo Hyun, has resurfaced, drawing strong reactions from netizens amidst ongoing controversy surrounding his alleged relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron. The post, from a reported 2008 Cyworld account, describes his “ideal type” in a manner that many find disturbing.
The Resurfaced Post
The alleged post, which has circulated online, presents a dark and demanding view of love. It includes phrases like:

You have to be sad because of me, want to die, regret everything, and no matter who you look at, you should only think about me. Above all, you should never doubt me. Don’t interfere in my matters because it’s annoying. I’m good at swearing. But when I need you, you always have to be there because I crave attention. You need to be quick to understand things because I’m hot-tempered. If you try to teach me, then you’re dead.
Ah… buy me some medicine. I tend to get sick often. I have an arrhythmia, it’s called ventricular tachycardia, and I need surgery.
Now, try to love me. If you can’t, just throw me away coldly. So I can at least cry sorrowfully.

Netizen Reactions
The post’s content has led to widespread criticism. Many netizens expressed discomfort and disgust. Some comments include:
“I hate it so much.” “The worst.” “Ugh.” “Would a normal person write something like that on a public platform…” “A normal man wouldn’t write something like that.” “He said, ‘You have to want to die,’ and then really killed her. Kim Soo Hyun, are you at least a little satisfied now?”
Some attempted to contextualize the post, suggesting that such brooding expressions were common on Cyworld at the time. However, the majority of reactions were negative, especially given the current allegations surrounding Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron.
Context of the Controversy
This post resurfaced amid allegations from Kim Sae Ron’s aunt, who claimed that Kim Soo Hyun had been in a relationship with her niece since she was 15 years old. This, along with past comments by Kim Soo Hyun about wanting to marry someone decades younger, has further fueled public disapproval.
