Kim Soo Hyun’s Past Remarks About 15-Year-Old Nam Ji Hyun Stir Public Outrage as They Resurface During Ongoing Controversy Over Alleged Kim Sae Ron Relationship
Old comments made by actor Kim Soo Hyun about actress Nam Ji Hyun, who was 15 at the time, have resurfaced, adding to the actor’s current wave of controversy. This renewed scrutiny comes amidst allegations of a past relationship with Kim Sae Ron that began when she was also 15.
Past Remarks Under New Light
In a 2010 interview, Kim Soo Hyun discussed working with Nam Ji Hyun on the dramas “Will It Snow for Christmas?” and “Giant.” At that time, he was 22 years old. He made a joke about feeling like his on-screen younger brother, actor Yeo Jin Goo, had “stolen his girl,” referring to Nam Ji Hyun’s role.
“It felt so weird, like my younger brother had stolen my girl.” — Kim Soo Hyun
He also praised Nam Ji Hyun’s acting skills, saying he learned a lot from her despite their age difference. Kim Soo Hyun admitted feeling jealous of the praise she received from directors and senior actors, which he said fueled his competitive spirit.
“Ji Hyun is a real fox when it comes to acting. Even though she’s much younger than me, I learned a lot while filming ‘Will It Snow for Christmas?’ She understands everything—camera angles, how to deliver her lines, all of it. On the first day of filming with Ji Hyun in Sancheong, I couldn’t sleep because my stomach hurt so much. I was so jealous of how she was praised by the director and adored by the senior actors. I guess that’s why my eyes were burning with so much competitiveness.” — Kim Soo Hyun
Netizen Reactions and Controversy
While these comments did not cause significant backlash at the time, they are now being viewed critically due to the ongoing controversy surrounding Kim Soo Hyun. Many netizens are expressing strong disapproval of his remarks, particularly his use of phrases like “his girl” and “a fox,” especially considering the allegations involving Kim Sae Ron.

“Wow, he’s been consistent… calling a 15-year-old ‘my girl’?”
“Ew, he’s been consistent. Disgusting.”
“Wait, what the hell is this?????????”
“WTF, calling a middle schooler “my girl”??? WTF…”
These reactions show that the public is now reevaluating Kim Soo Hyun’s past actions and words in light of the current allegations.
