• Knock Off and the actor's return to work
• The lies and contradictions of the "false aunt

It's been 8 months since actor Kim Soo-hyun's activities came to a standstill following false accusations by the family of the late actress Kim Sae-ron and youtuber Garosero. While these charges have now been dropped and that only the courts can definitively clear the actor's name, we learn that the primary objective of his lawyer and his team is to enable the drama Knock Off, which Disney+ has kept on hold since the initial accusations, to be released as soon as possible. Here's an update on this weekend's releases.

Knock Off and the actor's return to work

Heralded as one of Disney+'s flagship dramas, Knock Off benefited from an exceptional budget of 60 billion wonapproximately 40 million euros. The story was to follow Kim Sung-juna man whose life is turned upside down after the Asian crisis of 1997, before he becomes a major figure in the counterfeit market. An intense, dark and complex role, perfectly suited to Kim Soo-hyun.

Yet there's no trace of the drama in Disney+'s 2026 lineup. Today, Kim Soo-hyun's lawyer and fans are convinced that the drama will be released soon, once the courts have officially cleared the actor's name.

In any case, the lawyer's words this weekend have given hope to Kim Soo-hyun's supporters: he'll be ready to get back to work once this is over, as Kho Sang-rock wrote: "Our goal is to broadcast Knock off as quickly as possible, to quickly end the civil lawsuit with the advertisers without making any additional noise, and to quickly resume our activities without any restrictions (...)."

The lies and contradictions of the "false aunt

Lawyer Kho Sang-rock has published new evidence pointing directly to the "false aunt" as active accomplice by Kim Se-ui.

According to him, from the outset she presented herself as the representative of the deceased's loved ones, taking part in interviews and public actions. with the clear intention to support the alleged crime. After March 10, when Kim Se-ui began spreading particularly serious false accusations ("perverted pedophile", "relationship since middle school", etc.), she didn't just let him: she accompanied himHe also took part in interviews and even provided her with photos and KakaoTalk conversations of dubious relevance.

Two interviews given on the same day reveal flagrant contradictions.

• On The Fact afternoon: she asserts that the relationship between the actor and the deceased began in adulthoodafter 2019.
• The same evening on Gaseyeon Live she suddenly claims to have learned of their relationship when the deceased was a minorby seeing photos sent by Kim Soo-hyun. Two totally incompatible versions.

The lawyer pointed out that there had never been any mention of a relationship when the young woman was a minor in the previous statements. He therefore believes that the "false aunt" deliberately invented or altered her testimony to support Kim Se-ui's story.

A new week begins, with the hope of Kim Soo-hyun's entourage that Kim Se-ui Garosero will finally be arrested, and that the results of the analyses of the exhibits fabricated by the prosecution will finally be released. November 21 also sees the hearing of the trial of the 3rd advertiser against the actor, Dinto.
