Kim Soo-hyun to resume activities in Korea after over a year

Actor Kim Soo-hyun is set to make his first public appearance in South Korea next month, according to informed sources. This follows over a year of inactivity, sparked by allegations surrounding the late actress Kim Sae-ron. As an award presenter at The Fact Music Awards, scheduled for September 19 in Busan, Kim will make his return.

This event comes after conservative YouTuber Kim Se-ui was arrested for spreading false and fabricated information regarding Kim's relationship with the deceased actress when she was still a minor. Hover Lab, the YouTube channel operated by Kim, made these allegations public in March 2025 following the actress's death at the age of 24.

Kim subsequently held a press conference, confirming their relationship while denying the claims of a minor relationship. He further filed defamation complaints against both the YouTuber and the late actress' family. Recently, police have dropped the case.
