Kim Soo Hyun’s agency has triggered a wave of disbelief among Korean netizens by announcing they will release a full statement next week to address the ongoing controversy surrounding his relationship with Kim Sae Ron. The agency’s move to tease an official response, rather than immediately addressing the mounting allegations, has been met with widespread criticism.
Agency’s Delayed Response
The agency’s announcement stated they intend to “correct false statements and counter the baseless rumors that were presented about Kim Soo Hyun.” This delayed response, however, has only intensified the public’s scrutiny, especially given the recent release of what many perceive as incriminating evidence.
Netizen Reactions
Netizens have expressed their outrage at the agency’s handling of the situation. Some common reactions include:
“The photos of them kissing when she was a minor have already been released, so he won’t be able to say that they dated when she was an adult. I wonder what kind of story they will come up with for this. Can’t he just apologize and leave the industry and pay the penalty fees.”
“Are they trying to buy time because of the advertisement penalty fees? Nakai in Japan delayed retiring because of penalty fees, too.”
“Trying to bury the impeachment issue.”
“They’re calling these rumors…are they crazy.”
“Still calling this a rumor? Total trash.”
“Grooming a middle schooler and breaking up with her when she’s an adult and ruining her career and threatening her with money…no matter what he says, he’s a criminal..he needs to repent and retire.”
“A formal issue teaser..what the hell.”
The sentiment among many is that the agency’s attempt to label the allegations as “rumors” is insensitive and dismissive, particularly in light of the evidence presented.
Additional Evidence
Further fueling the controversy, Garosero has released additional evidence, which includes a postcard that Kim Soo Hyun allegedly wrote to Kim Sae Ron while in France. This added layer of information has increased the public’s demand for a clear and immediate response.
