Kim Soo Hyun’s Current State Shocks Fans: Needs Constant Supervision, Apologizing to Colleagues Everywhere
The latest updates about Kim Soo Hyun are causing a stir on social media.
Recently, Ten Asia Hankyung addressed fans’ concerns by publishing information allegedly shared by someone close to the actor. This source stated: “Kim Soo Hyun is going through an extremely difficult time. He is nearly distraught, to the point where staff members have to stay by his side at all times. He has been personally meeting with each colleague and crew member he has worked with to apologize individually.”

Additionally, the source emphasized that during the filming of Knock Off on the 12th, Kim Soo Hyun approached each actor and the director to offer his apologies. A staff member on set revealed: “During breaks, Kim Soo Hyun was so shaken that he remained inside his vehicle and did not step out.”
As for today’s recording of Good Day, according to Ten Asia, Kim Soo Hyun has confirmed that he will proceed with the filming as planned and will not be leaving the show, contrary to previous rumors. Ten Asia also reached out to the Good Day production team for comments but has yet to receive a response.
The actor’s current situation has been widely shared across social media, sparking mixed reactions. Given his ongoing contract cancellations with various brands and the looming financial burden of up to 20 billion KRW in compensation—along with the potential collapse of his career—it is understandable that he is experiencing emotional distress.
Fans are also deeply concerned about the fate of Knock Off, the project Kim Soo Hyun is currently filming. Reports indicate that filming is nearing completion and is still ongoing despite the controversy surrounding the lead actor. Sources claim that for this project, Kim Soo Hyun’s per-episode fee reaches a staggering 800 million KRW, significantly higher than what he earned for Queen of Tears. This makes canceling the project or recasting the lead actor highly improbable. If such drastic measures were taken, the compensation Kim Soo Hyun would owe the production team would be immense.
Perhaps this is why, despite being at the center of public scrutiny and criticism, Kim Soo Hyun has continued filming in recent days to ensure the project stays on track for its scheduled completion in March. The drama was originally slated for release in April 2025.
