Actor Kim Soo-hyun is scheduled to make his first public appearance in over a year, indicating a gradual return to public life after a career interruption caused by controversy. According to his agency, Gold Medalist, Kim will appear on a live anniversary special of Indonesian private broadcaster RCTI on August 23 in Jakarta. As a special guest, Kim will participate in stage activities and an interview while meeting local fans.
This event is particularly noteworthy as it marks Kim's first in-person public appearance since he paused his activities amid allegations related to his past relationship with late actress Kim Sae-ron. Controversy erupted in March of the previous year when allegations emerged that Kim had dated the late actress while she was still a minor.
Kim admitted to dating Sae-ron but denied that their relationship began when she was underage, addressing the matter through statements and a press conference.
