Actor Kim Soo-hyun has been embroiled in allegations that he dated the late Kim Sae-ron during her minor years, and as a result, Kim Soo-hyun's fan cafe has also been closed.
On the 13th, Kim Soo-hyun's fan cafe 'Yukaris' closed all bulletin boards except for a notice written by the operator, leaving only a temporary bulletin board. This fan cafe is known to have about 29,000 members and has served as Kim Soo-hyun's official fan cafe.
However, in response to the famous fan cafe also 'cutting ties', the operator announced, "The reason for temporarily making the cafe private is to prevent cyberbullying among members," reiterating this point. They explained that they switched to private mode out of concern that fans would become targets after the allegations of Kim Soo-hyun's relationship with a minor surfaced.
Fans are closely monitoring the situation regarding the allegations, while the sentiment among overseas fandom is not positive. On platforms like China's Weibo, negative reactions such as "I never want to see him in China again" have emerged.
A foreign fan with 460,000 followers left a message on their social media account saying, "To the actor I once admired, goodbye."
Previously, the family of the late Kim Sae-ron claimed through the YouTube channel 'Garo Sero Research Institute' that Kim Sae-ron had been in a relationship with Kim Soo-hyun for over six years since she was 15. Photos of Kim Soo-hyun kissing Kim Sae-ron on the cheek and text messages in which Kim Sae-ron requested help from Kim Soo-hyun have been revealed through the channel, causing a stir.
Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, stated that this is "clearly false information" and that they are considering the strongest legal response possible against the false information spread by 'Garo Sero Research Institute'. They have emphasized that there will be "no change in their position" despite repeated additional revelations.
