“Kim February Sunday Special is still [my] birthday”
(To a fan’s message: “Are you getting along well with GD?”)
“Haha I am busy but he is even busier”
These messages were sent exactly one week after Kim Sae Ron’s passing on February 16, which coincides with Kim Soo Hyun’s birthday. This timing has drawn sharp criticism from netizens.
Netizens have also pointed out that the actor attended G-Dragon’s listening party just two days after sending the Bubble messages, on February 25.

Netizen Reactions
Netizens expressed shock and disappointment, questioning Kim Soo Hyun’s “morals” and “humanity.” Many found his actions insensitive, especially considering their past relationship. Comments included:
“The more I find out, the creepier it gets.”
“Even if someone you dated for just one or two years died, you’d probably feel down for months. But six years… that’s not human.”
“At that age, talking about Kim February or whatever…”
“Even if it were just an acquaintance, it would be hard to cope for a while. But dating that young girl for so long and still acting like this… seriously.”
“Do you even have emotions? Do you have any sense of sympathy as a human being?”
“After everything they shared, you’re saying he feels nothing for that young girl?”
“What a terrible person.”
“Even if they broke up, that was still someone he dated. How is this possible?”
“Seriously disgusting. Just disgusting.”
“So this is the kind of person he was. Being a celebrity really is all about image.”
“Someone died, and he looks so happy. LOL. He must feel relieved.”
“He’s probably worried about the contract penalty. What a heartless jerk.”
“Fine, sending a Bubble message is one thing. But actually saying ‘it’s still my birthday’?”
“If you’re human, wouldn’t you be in complete shock at a time like this?”
“Guess he’s happy that an inconvenient person is gone. Even if they were just in the same company, this reaction would still be unacceptable.”
“He probably feels relieved that someone who knew his weaknesses is gone. Even if it were just someone he barely knew, you’d still be in shock if they suddenly died. How can he be like this?”
“It’s scary how this industry stays quiet and accepts this even when the wrong person is being protected.”
“Don’t ever come back. It’s chilling.”
“Acting like a money-hungry person, not even able to resist refunding bubbles — nice to see his true colors.”
“How can a person act like that?”
“He looks completely relieved now that someone who knew his weaknesses is gone. He’s not human.”
“After all that, he’s now saying he’s struggling? Who would believe that?”
“My hands are shaking too. I hope the bereaved family never sees this.”
“She wasn’t even just some random person — his ex-girlfriend died on his birthday…”
“Pressuring over a 700 million won debt, ignoring calls, spreading phone numbers to reporters, using the press to harass — even if you consider that all a misunderstanding, how can someone act like this after an ex they dated for six years committed suicide on his birthday? Is that even human?”
Further Criticism
Adding to the controversy, netizens also pointed out that Kim Soo Hyun attended G-Dragon’s listening party just two days after sending the Bubble messages. They also criticized his return to Bubble at the end of the month, speculating that he did so to avoid refunding fans for inactivity.
