Kim Soo-hyun Faces Criticism Over Alleged Relationship With Kim Sae-ron

South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun is currently facing significant public criticism following allegations of a past romantic relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron, which purportedly began when she was a minor.
These claims have caused a lot of criticism across various online platforms, with many netizens expressing their disapproval and calling for boycotts of the actor’s work.
Allegations and Public Reaction
The controversy intensified after the YouTube channel Hoverlab released materials provided by Kim Sae-ron’s family, including a photograph suggesting intimacy between the two actors and a text message from Kim Sae-ron to Kim Soo-hyun, indicating financial distress and a plea for assistance. In the message, dated March 19, 2023, she wrote:
“Oppa, it’s Sae-ron. I received the content-certified letter. You’re suing me… I can’t manage 700 million won all at once. Please give me time. I’m begging you, please help me.”
These revelations have led to a surge of negative comments on social media platforms. Users have expressed their anger and disappointment, with some accusing Kim Soo-hyun of unethical behavior. One Twitter user commented:
“Even if it’s her number, you shouldn’t have spread it. Is he being serious right now? He is literally way older than her; why is he acting like this?”
Another user expressed outrage, stating: “I’m speechless, man. What… This is… oh my god, I’m so mad.”
This has extended beyond online criticism, with calls for boycotts of Kim Soo-hyun’s current and future projects. Viewers are urging networks and production companies to reconsider his involvement in ongoing shows and upcoming films.
The actor’s latest Instagram post has been inundated with over 193,000 comments, many demanding his removal from public platforms and expressing disappointment in his alleged actions.
Reemergence of Past Controversies
Despite the current scandal, previous controversies involving Kim Soo-hyun have resurfaced. These include allegations of inappropriate behavior during his youth, such as underage drinking, smoking, and setting fire to paper airplanes that caused damage to school property.
Additionally, past comments he made about dating younger women have been brought back into the spotlight, further fueling public outrage.
Official Response
In response to the allegations, Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has firmly denied any romantic involvement between the actor and Kim Sae-ron, labeling the claims as “baseless” and “malicious.” The agency has threatened legal action against those spreading these rumors, stating:
“The claims that Kim Soo-hyun had a romantic relationship with Kim Sae-ron from the age of 15 are entirely untrue.”
Impact on Career
The ongoing controversy poses a significant threat to Kim Soo-hyun’s career. Public sentiment has shifted dramatically, with many fans expressing feelings of betrayal and disappointment. The actor’s current projects are under scrutiny, and industry insiders speculate potential repercussions, including loss of endorsements and roles.
As the situation continues to unfold, the full impact on Kim Soo-hyun’s career remains uncertain. The allegations have undoubtedly tarnished his public image, leading to widespread criticism and calls for accountability. Whether he can recover from this scandal will depend on forthcoming developments and the public’s response to any further revelations.

Neill Blomkamp to Direct New ‘Starship Troopers’ Movie Based on Original Novel

Renowned filmmaker Neill Blomkamp, celebrated for his work on “District 9,” is set to direct a new adaptation of “Starship Troopers” for Sony’s Columbia Pictures. This upcoming film will revisit Robert A. Heinlein’s 1959 science fiction novel, distinguishing itself from the 1997 satirical movie directed by Paul Verhoeven.
The 1997 “Starship Troopers” film offered a satirical take on Heinlein’s novel, critiquing fascism and militarism. In contrast, Blomkamp’s adaptation aims to remain more faithful to the original text, exploring themes of citizenship, duty, and the complexities of a militarized society.
Joining Blomkamp in this endeavour is his wife and collaborator, Terri Tatchell, who will co-write the screenplay. The duo previously earned acclaim for their work on “District 9,” which received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Blomkamp’s filmography, including titles like “Elysium” and “Chappie,” is known for blending science fiction with socio-political commentary. This background suggests that the new “Starship Troopers” adaptation will delve into the novel’s intricate themes while delivering the director’s signature visual storytelling.

VeryDarkMan’s Lawyer Calls Mercy Chinwo’s N1.1 Billion Defamation Suit a Joke

Deji Adeyanju, the lawyer representing social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, has dismissed gospel singer Mercy Chinwo’s defamation suit against his client as “a complete joke.”
A Magistrate Court in Wuse Zone 6, Abuja, recently issued a bench warrant for VeryDarkMan’s arrest on March 13, 2025, after he failed to appear in court over allegations of defaming Chinwo. The summons was initially issued on March 5, 2025.
Chinwo has also filed a lawsuit at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, demanding N1.1 billion in damages. The lawsuit stems from allegations that VeryDarkMan made defamatory statements on social media, accusing Chinwo of being involved in a contract dispute and the mismanagement of $345,000 tied to her former record label boss, Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu (Eezee Tee).
Speaking in an interview with AIT, Adeyanju brushed off the lawsuit, questioning the basis for such a huge claim. “Pay N1.1 billion for what? Over what? This isn’t a court of law, so I won’t discuss our strategy here. We have no comment — it’s nothing serious, just a joke,” he said.
Meanwhile, VeryDarkMan, who is currently outside the country, has challenged security agencies to arrest him at the airport when he returns to Nigeria. He confidently stated that he was no stranger to being arrested.
