As previously announced, Kim Soo Hyun officially appeared before the media, looking visibly exhausted. After greeting the press and the public, the actor bowed deeply in apology and broke down in tears. In his speech, Kim Soo Hyun admitted that he was a coward who had caused trouble for many people.
Below is Kim Soo Hyun’s full statement:
“First and foremost, I sincerely apologize to everyone. Because of me, so many people have had to endure pain—even the deceased has yet to rest in peace… This pains me deeply. I think of myself as a weak person. I have always only sought to protect what I have.
In my case, I didn’t even have the courage to face the final consequences. I was always afraid of losing something, so I chose to run away and deny everything. It took me a long time to finally stand before you all today.
Sometimes, I ask myself—would it have been better if I had been brave enough to speak the truth from the beginning? If I had done so, perhaps the fans who have always loved me and the staff in my company wouldn’t have had to endure such exhaustion.”
However, Kim Soo Hyun is not expected to personally respond to allegations. Instead, he has authorized lawyer Kim Jong Bok from the law firm LK & Partners to clarify the recent controversies on his behalf. Additionally, to prevent further tensions from escalating, the press conference will not include a Q&A session with the media.
Kim Soo Hyun has been embroiled in a series of personal scandals that have significantly damaged his public image and acting career. The most serious controversy involves allegations from Kim Sae Ron’s family, who claim he was in a relationship with the actress when she was underage. The family insists that Kim Soo Hyun publicly admit to dating Kim Sae Ron as a minor and issue an official apology. In response, Kim Soo Hyun has only acknowledged dating Kim Sae Ron after she became an adult and has taken legal action against the late actress’s family for spreading sensitive images.
Moreover, Kim Soo Hyun and his cousin, Lee Sarang, have recently been asked by Sulli’s brother to address allegations that they pressured the late actress into filming intimate scenes in the 2017 movie Real.
According to South Korean media, Kim Soo Hyun’s March 31 press conference is expected to be a pivotal moment in this controversy and could determine the future trajectory of his career. In recent times, his public image has plummeted due to ongoing negative scandals.
