Kim Soo-hyun’s Bubble Messages a Week After Kim Sae-ron’s Passing Ignite Controversy

The controversy began when Kim Sae-ron’s aunt claimed that Kim Soo-hyun had been in a relationship with the actress while she was still a minor and that his agency contributed to her financial difficulties. These allegations led netizens to scrutinize his past actions. What upset many was that, despite Kim Sae-ron passing away on his birthday, Kim Soo-hyun made no mention of her death.
The backlash intensified when netizens discovered that just days after Kim Sae-ron’s passing, Kim Soo-hyun attended G-Dragon’s listening party. His lack of public acknowledgment further fueled the perception that he was indifferent to the tragedy.

Additionally, private messages he sent to fans around that time have resurfaced, adding to the controversy. His upbeat tone and continued birthday celebration left many questioning his sensitivity.

Kim Soo-hyun: Wow. Hello?
Kim Soo-hyun: Kim February Sunday special. It’s still my birthday.
Kim Soo-hyun: [Replying to a fan] ㅎㅎ I’m busy as well, but he (G-Dragon)’s even busier.
These messages, sent on February 23, exactly one week after Kim Sae-ron’s passing, have only intensified criticism. After the screenshot of this chat was posted on theqoo, many netizens expressed disappointment, believing that Kim Soo-hyun’s reaction did not appropriately reflect the gravity of the situation despite his long history with Kim Sae-ron.

Comments on theqoo:
- Even the devil would weep.
- How does he feel absolutely no guilt? She passed away on his birthday.
- Crazy.
- He has given up on being human.
- Ugh, I can’t stand seeing any of this.
- Such a sociopath, seriously.
As the controversy continues to escalate, many are left questioning Kim Soo-hyun’s apparent indifference and whether he will eventually acknowledge the situation. His silence in the face of mounting criticism has only fueled further backlash, leaving the public divided on whether his actions stem from a desire for privacy or a complete disregard for the tragic loss of someone he was once closely connected to.
