Following his tearful press conference on the untimely death of his ex-girlfriend, Kim Sae Ron, who died on February 16, 2025, South Korean star Kim Soo Hyun has found himself at the center of a media storm. In response to reports about their previous connection, the actor, who was clearly upset, denied dating the actress when she was a juvenile. However, he received a lot of backlash for his emotional outburst, with online users accusing him of fabricating a “fake” breakdown.
Kim Soo Hyun acknowledged dating Kim Sae Ron during the press conference, but she vehemently denied rumors that the two were together when she was a minor. He emphasized, “I didn’t date Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor.” The actor clarified that their romance began five years ago, long before his popular drama Queen of Tears aired. Netizens were unconvinced despite his heartfelt sobs and requests for solitude.
Social media users swiftly began talking about Kim Soo Hyun’s emotional collapse, with many accusing him of pretending to feel something. His exhibit was ridiculed by users on sites like X (previously Twitter), with one user saying, “Bro thinks this is Queen of Tears Season 2 or what? Do we appear foolish enough to fall for his phony tears? Another tweet mockingly joked, “Kim Soo Hyun wins the Oscar!” These remarks reveal a growing lack of faith in the actor’s authenticity, as many people liken his performance to a K-dramatic role audition rather than a real emotional moment.
Kim’s decision to deny his relationship with Kim Sae Ron earlier, despite their background, aroused doubts about his genuine intentions, according to some remarks, in addition to the skepticism around his tears. Another user remarked, “Not #KimSooHyun crying in public, pleading for mercy while denying all accusations exactly as expected.”
Even after Kim Soo Hyun clarified, opinions are still split. Some people accept the actor’s explanation, while others still doubt that his emotional reaction was genuine. The problems that celebrities confront when their private affairs are made public are brought to light by the continuous controversy surrounding his connection with Kim Sae Ron and his press conference performance.
Kim Soo Hyun is still under a lot of scrutiny as the topic develops, and social media users are still voicing their thoughts. It’s unclear how this issue will develop in the days ahead because the public’s perception of the actor’s emotional collapse is still very much alive.
