Kim Soo-hyun Returns as the "Fake King"'
Actor Kim Soo-hyun has resumed his activities after being cleared of unjust charges, sparking great interest in his upcoming project, "Knock-Off."
Allegations that actor Kim Soo-hyun had a romantic relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron during her childhood turned out to be rumors completely fabricated by Kim Se-e, the administrator of the YouTube channel "Garo-Sero Research Institute" (commonly known as Gaseyeon). YouTuber Kim Se-e is under investigation for spreading false information about Kim Soo-hyun and damaging his reputation by manipulating Kim Sae-ron's voice using artificial intelligence (AI). Consequently, Kim Se-e was arrested and charged in May.
After being cleared of the false charges a year and four months later, Kim Soo-hyun has demonstrated the enduring power of a Hallyu star, showing no signs of slowing down. He resumed his activities by filming a commercial for a Philippine fashion brand in July, and on July 23, he appeared as a special guest on RCTI—an Indonesian private broadcaster—for its 37th-anniversary live special, "Mahakarya RCTI 37." Kim Soo-hyun received a warm welcome, thrilling the local community and reaffirming his unwavering popularity. Additionally, Kim Soo-hyun is preparing to hold a major fan meeting in the Philippines this October, an event expected to draw 20,000 attendees.
In fact, as his popularity continues to rise, the support and encouragement from fans—who are eager for his return to acting—are growing ever stronger. Their calls have become particularly urgent since Kim Soo-hyun was forced into an unplanned hiatus following the 2024 success of Queen of Tears due to unfounded rumors.
