Kim Soo-hyun appears emotional in first public event since controversy

Actor Kim Soo-hyun made a rare public appearance in Indonesia, visibly emotional as he returned to the spotlight following a controversy surrounding his personal life. The South Korean actor took part in a special live show on Sunday, marking the 37th anniversary of Indonesian private broadcaster RCTI's Mahakarya RCTI 37.

Kim performed as a special guest on the roughly four-hour program, celebrating RCTI's landmark event. The actor, dressed in a white suit with a black bow tie, greeted the audience in Korean, expressing gratitude for being invited to the meaningful occasion.

During the live show, Kim participated in both a performance and an interview, meeting fans in person. He sang "Dreaming," a song from the soundtrack of the 2011 KBS drama "Dream High," a series that propelled him to stardom. However, the performance was not without a few shaky moments, as Kim appeared nervous at the beginning.
