A Seoul court has recently ruled in favor of actor Kim Soo-hyun, dismissing a lawsuit from Swiss watch brand Mido seeking over half a million dollars in damages. According to the decision made by the 13th Civil Division of the Seoul Eastern District Court, Mido's case was entirely rejected. The dispute centered around alleged allegations made on the YouTube channel HoverLab, suggesting that Kim Soo-hyun had been involved with the late Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor.
However, Gold Medalist, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, insisted that these claims were fabricated and had no connection to any actual wrongdoing by the actor. The court agreed with the agency's stance, deeming the termination of Mido's contract with Kim Soo-hyun not be due to any fault on Kim Soo-hyun's part. This legal victory marks a significant win in a series of lawsuits filed by former advertisers of Kim Soo-hyun, and it is expected to set a precedent for the remaining cases.
