Kim Beom Soo speaks up to defend Kim Soo Hyun despite threats to cut him off the airwaves.
Recently, Kim Beom Soo appeared on the live broadcast of Maebul Show and said, “I’ve never been interested in Kim Soo-hyun. But after seeing this news, there’s been a fuss about him dating a minor, as if it were a big crime.” He continued, “When people date, there can be an age difference, and the woman can be much older, right?”
He continued, “Since Kim Sae-ron is a child actress, it’s very likely that she matured early. She started dating a 27-year-old man at the age of 16.” He then stated, “Is it right to attack an adult man for dating a minor? Maybe in my case, because she is young, I don’t see her as a girlfriend. Isn’t this a personal trait?”

He also said, “The change in customs and morals is still too backward in many cases, so why attack an adult man for dating a minor?” and added, “I don’t know if Kim Soo-hyun is lying, but trying to deny the relationship with Kim Sae Ron from the beginning is also a way to manage a bad image. Actually, it’s not a bad thing. This is something that our society doesn’t have the courage to fight.”
Kim Beom Soo’s statement spread quickly on social media. Afterwards, the video’s comment section was flooded with comments from netizens criticizing Kim Kap-soo’s statement, such as: “Do you want to say that to a deceased person?”, “Maebul Show, please officially apologize for Kim Beom Soo’s offensive remarks.”, “Kim Beom Soo, please apologize properly for your remarks. Does Maebul Show support ‘matrimony’?”, “Dating a minor is unacceptable under any circumstances.”, and “Relationships between minors and adults are not a matter of personal preference, but a crime, and it is not a matter of backward thinking, but of law and morality.” In response to such criticism, the ‘Maebul Show’ side is currently planning to cut out the controversial part of Kim Beom Soo’s statement.
