On the morning of September 9, *Indiatimes* reported that an account with 80,000 followers on X had shared news that Jennie (BLACKPINK) received an offer to star as the female lead alongside Kim Soo Hyun in a TV drama. The source added that while the actor happily accepted the project, the BLACKPINK rapper decisively turned down the role.
The post quickly garnered over 700,000 views and thousands of comments in a short span of time.
Online communities are currently buzzing with debate, with opinions sharply divided regarding Jennie’s refusal to collaborate with Kim Soo Hyun. Notably, some fans have expressed support for her decision. However, many others were surprised by the rapper’s move and questioned the reasons behind her passing up the opportunity to work with the *Queen of Tears* star.
It is worth noting that Kim Soo Hyun has been completely cleared of allegations regarding a relationship with a minor. On July 29, the Seongdong Police Station in South Korea officially decided not to prosecute or refer the case to the Public Prosecutor’s Office following accusations that he violated the Child Welfare Act. Previously, the actor had faced allegations of a romantic relationship with Kim Sae Ron when she was just 14 years old. According to the police, the investigation focused on two key issues: whether Kim Soo Hyun had dated Kim Sae Ron while she was under the age of 18, and whether there had been any exploitation or sexual abuse of a minor, as alleged by the accusers. The investigation concluded that all allegations claiming Kim Soo Hyun dated Kim Sae Ron while she was a minor were false and baseless. The actor was cleared of violating the Child Welfare Act. This official conclusion effectively exonerated Kim Soo Hyun, confirming that he did not engage in an inappropriate romantic relationship with Kim Sae Ron when she was 14 years old.
Having been cleared of the allegations, the actor is now actively working to resume his career in the entertainment industry. In contrast, YouTuber Kim Se Ui—who had repeatedly accused Kim Soo Hyun and clashed with him over the past two years—is now facing a dire situation. Recently, the court issued an arrest warrant for Kim Se Ui for defamation and the dissemination of false information regarding Kim Soo Hyun and the alleged dating scandal with Kim Sae Ron. Prosecutors have also formally indicted Kim Se Ui on five charges: defamation under the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization; violation of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes (such as the distribution of illegally filmed footage); violation of the Stalking Punishment Act; and charges of coercion and intimidation.
As for Jennie, she made her acting debut in 2023 with a supporting role in the American series *The Idol*, a project that garnered mixed reactions. In the three years since, the rapper has not pursued further acting roles. However, news has recently emerged that she has received an offer to star in a Korean drama alongside actor Kim Soo Hyun. However, the female idol, born in 1996, reportedly flatly refused.
