Kim Soo Hyun Receives Fan Support After Photo Controversy

Over the weekend, the internet erupted when actress Kim Sae Ron uploaded a photo on her social media that sent fans into a frenzy. The photo, which has since been deleted, showed her and heartthrob actor Kim Soo Hyun, currently starring in the hit K-Drama “Queen of Tears,” in a close selfie with their cheeks pressed together. The intimate nature of the photo sparked immediate dating rumors, especially considering the significant age gap between the two stars.

Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron: Intimate Photo Sparks Dating Rumors Yet Again!

This controversy has unfortunately tarnished Kim Soo Hyun’s image to some extent. However, a wave of loyal fans have come to his defense, highlighting his well-known friendly personality.

Fans Defend Kim Soo Hyun’s Character: Pointing to Past Interactions

Kim Soo Hyun’s supporters argue that the photo might be a misunderstanding due to his naturally friendly nature. They point out his history of posing closely and playfully with co-stars and crew members alike. To illustrate this, fans have shared pictures of Kim in similar poses with other celebrities.

Fans pointed out that Kim Soo Hyun is very friendly with everyone he comes in contact with, whether it’s a co-star, crew member, etc. When you see pictures of him with other people, he is always posed in a close, fun-natured way. So, the selfie with Kim Sae Ron might not be as intimate as it appears at first glance.

For instance, fans brought up his relationship with Jung Eun Pyo, his co-star from “Moon Embracing the Sun.” They remained close even after filming wrapped up, with Jung praising Kim’s good nature and even naming his third child after Kim’s character in the drama.

Similarly, Kim Soo Hyun’s interactions with “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” co-star Oh Jung Se showcase a seemingly brotherly bond. Notably, Kim became emotional during Oh’s acceptance speech for an award, further demonstrating their close friendship. Additionally, Oh Jung Se even made a special appearance in Kim’s current drama, “Queen of Tears.”

These examples, along with the positive comments from many of his past co-stars, paint a picture of Kim Soo Hyun as someone who builds genuine connections with those he works with.

Official Denial and Legal Action

Adding to the defense, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, GOLDMEDALIST, released a statement firmly denying any romantic involvement between the actors. They clarified that the photo was an old one from the time both Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were under the same management company. The agency also expressed their lack of understanding regarding Kim Sae Ron’s motive for posting the photo.

Additionally, GOLDMEDALIST denied all rumors of Kim Soo Hyun being in a relationship with Kim Soo Hyun. They claimed it was an old photo from when the two were under the same management and were not in a relationship.

Hello, this is GOLDMEDALIST.

We would like to inform you of our official position regarding a picture of Kim Soo Hyun that has been spreading today.

We would like to inform you that the rumors of Kim Soo Hyun being in a relationship [with Kim Sae Ron] are unfounded.

Likewise, an insider also strongly denied the dating rumors.

While the true reason behind Kim Sae Ron’s actions remains unclear, Kim Soo Hyun’s fans and his agency have made their stance clear. Only time will tell how this situation unfolds, but one thing is certain: Kim Soo Hyun’s loyal fanbase stands strong in his defense.
