Starting a website dedicated to kdramas this year without mentioning the \"Kim Soo-hyun \/ Kim Sae Ron affair\" seems almost impossible.<\/strong> I, for one, have been following this story since its inception and remain convinced that it all stems from financial issues between the deceased and her family, the actor having found himself, in spite of himself, at the heart of the turmoil (his main \"fault\": having dated the actress in 2019-2020). For fans and those who have taken this affair to heart, these 3 long months of twists and turns (just today, since March 10) have been trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three months of turmoil: when the tide finally turns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During those three months, many people, in search of the truth, became amateur detectives, exploring the life of the deceased actress as if they were conducting a police investigation. And today.., we can say that the tide is turning in Kim Soo-hyun's favor. <\/strong>Initially, a wave of hatred swept over him, with brands breaking off their contracts without waiting for any official investigation (from a business point of view, it's hard to take that risk in the face of the initial accusations, but from a human point of view, the decisions were too extreme and aforementioned). His press conference on March 31 was hardly taken seriously, yet he made it clear that he was going to prove his innocence, by taking legal action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This case, which from the outset was based on little concrete evidence, has nevertheless had a real impact on the actor's career and life: how can he now get back on track after such a relentless attack on him? And what if the media also had a role to play in this? In recent weeks serious South Korean journalists,<\/strong> have begun to publish more nuanced analyses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
