A number of scandals have hit South Korea’s top actors, many of whom have starred in movies such as “Secret Mission” and the drama “You Who Came From the Stars.

Kim Soo-hyun, 37, has received numerous awards, including the Blue Dragon Film Award and Popular Star Award, the Republic of Korea Popular Culture and Arts Award, and the State Minister’s Commendation. He is immensely popular both at home and abroad, and has many fans in Japan.

The first incident occurred on February 16, when a Japanese man named Kim Su-hyun, who had been dating Su-hyun, was arrested and charged with sexual misconduct.

Actress Kim Theron, who was said to have been in a relationship with Soo Hyun, passed away at her home in Seoul. She was only 24 years old. After her death, she confessed on YouTube that she had been in a relationship with him since she was 15 years old. The allegation that a top actor was dating an underage girl caused an uproar in the Korean entertainment industry.

Soo-hyun denied dating. However, when a series of posts on the Internet suggested a relationship with Theron, he acknowledged their relationship and claimed, “We only started dating when Theron became an adult.

This is not the only “scandal” that has befallen Soo-hyun.

The Internet also raised questions about an allegation made about 10 years ago,” said a reporter for a Korean newspaper. Suhyun held a fan meeting in Bangkok, Thailand, in March ’14. However, the day before the meeting, he announced that he wanted to play badminton, and the staff dismantled the fan meeting venue. After the badminton game was over, the staff was forced to work all night to reassemble the venue. Images of the work at that time were posted on SNS by staff members who were working there, and it became a topic of conversation.

By March 24, Soo Hyun’s agency announced that it had filed criminal charges against the operator of the “Carosello Institute,” which had accused Kim Sae Ron of problems, on charges of intimidation and other crimes. The institute claims that what it is doing is a “serious criminal act.

Meanwhile, moves to terminate the contract with Soo Hyun are accelerating. The British perfume brand Jo Malone London has decided not to re-sign her. Disney Plus has put a hold on distribution of “Knock Off,” an original drama starring Soo Hyun.

Lee So-young, a writer with expertise in the Korean entertainment industry, said.

Soo-hyun is a highly regarded actor in Korea who debuted at a young age and has been in the entertainment industry for a long time. He set up his own private agency, and the late Mr. Theron was also a member of it. Today, Korea is very strict about compliance.

If he had been in a relationship with Mr. Theron and had her registered with his own agency, the public would be very strict. I think it will be very hard for her to continue her activities as before.”

Suhyun is scheduled to attend a fan meeting in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on March 30. Japanese fans are paying close attention to what he will say at the venue.
