Actor Kim Soo Hyun continues to be embroiled in scandals.

On the morning of May 21st, Korean media outlets simultaneously published information favorable to Kim Soo Hyun. Police confirmed that he did not have any relationship with Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor. Thanks to this conclusion, the actor suddenly held the upper hand in his confrontation with the Garo Sero Institute and Kim Sae Ron's family.

However, the joy was short-lived. On the morning of May 22nd, Choi Gun Hee – the older brother of the late artist Sulli – unexpectedly ignited a new conflict. On his personal social media platform, he issued an ultimatum directly targeting the male lead of "My Love from the Star." He wrote a harsh threat, stating that the moment the other party dared to show their face again, round two would officially begin. He concluded by giving the actor the final choice.

When netizens curiously pressed him about the identity of the mysterious figure being referred to, Choi Gun Hee didn't hesitate to respond with a phrase implying "the one from the stars over there." Public opinion immediately recognized the target of the attack as Kim Soo Hyun. This move brought back memories of an incident that occurred exactly one year ago. At that time, Sulli's brother had also publicly questioned director Lee Sarang and Kim Soo Hyun about irregularities surrounding the 2017 film "Real."

The lingering trauma after the infamous footage.

According to Choi Gun Hee, based on accounts from crew members present at Sulli's funeral, the sensitive scenes were not in the original script. Although the "Real" team had prepared a body double, they forced the idol to perform those daring scenes herself. The explanation given at the time was that the body double suddenly fell ill. However, many witnesses who attended the funeral claimed the body double was present on set that day.

Under pressure from public opinion, Kim Soo Hyun's representatives immediately spoke out in rebuttal. They asserted that the entire crew had discussed the matter very thoroughly with Sulli before she agreed to participate in the project. The actor's side vehemently denied forcing the singer. They also clarified that the "Real" film crew did not use body doubles for sensitive scenes, but only hired stand-ins to assist with adjusting lighting and preparing for filming.

The incident sparked a wave of outrage in early November 2016. Numerous sensational articles about Sulli filming sensitive scenes sparked countless malicious insults. Korean audiences relentlessly attacked her, causing the 1994-born actress to panic. In late November 2016, Sulli attempted suicide after weeks of online harassment. Rumors circulated at the time that the cause stemmed from the immense pressure of this film project.

The film "Real" itself was criticized by critics as a disastrously failed family-run scheme by the duo Kim Soo Hyun and his cousin, director Lee Sarang. The terrible script, coupled with the overuse of women in violent and casino scenes, dragged down the film's reputation. Furthermore, the PR strategy of exploiting Sulli's real-life scenes only pushed her deeper into despair. Her family tearfully revealed that she suffered a severe mental breakdown after completing the role. The young woman sought psychological treatment and emphatically declared that she never wanted to participate in any more films.
