A viral TikTok about actor Kim Soo Hyun’s alleged real personality has triggered divided reactions online. The video, which shares anecdotes about his off-screen behavior, comes amid growing controversy surrounding his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron.
Past Allegations Resurface
During a recent live broadcast on Garo Sero Research Institute, Kim Sae Ron’s aunt claimed that Kim Soo Hyun dated the actress when she was 15 and his company asking her to pay back 700 million won drove her to desperation, which led to intense scrutiny of his personal life. As the controversy unfolds, old stories and past clips of his behavior have begun resurfacing.
One particular viral TikTok has drawn significant attention, with a former acting trainee/content creator sharing alleged insights from an acting teacher who studied at the same university as Kim Soo Hyun, which is Chungang University. The Tiktoker claims that the actor’s real personality is vastly different from the one he presents to the public.
Shocking Allegations About His Personality
The TikTok user alleged that Kim Soo Hyun:
- Frequently curses, to the point where he struggles to form a sentence without swearing.
- Uses offensive language that insults family members, a particularly severe form of swearing in Korean culture.
- Had tension with actress Jeon Ji Hyun over seniority and status at an event, more specifically about standing positions on a podium.
The claims have sparked a polarizing response from netizens.
Mixed Reactions Online
Many online users expressed frustration that Kim Soo Hyun remains one of Korea’s most successful actors despite these alleged personality traits. Some shared additional negative anecdotes, reinforcing a narrative that he may not be as kind or humble as he appears.
However, others questioned the timing of these allegations, pointing out that such stories only seem to surface now because of his current controversy. Supporters argued that no concrete evidence supports the claims and that the actor is being targeted unfairly due to his connection with Kim Sae Ron.
“If these things were true, why are we only hearing about them now?” one netizen questioned
People are digging up anything to ruin his reputation,” another added.
As debates continue, neither Kim Soo Hyun nor his agency has addressed the viral video. With ongoing scrutiny surrounding his past relationship, public perception of the actor remains deeply divided.
