Actor Kim Soo Hyun‘s overseas fans showed their support by sending a ‘cheer truck’ near the press conference.

On the afternoon of the 31st, Kim Soo Hyun’s emergency press conference will be held at the Stanford Hotel Seoul in Mapo-gu, Seoul. Kim Soo Hyun and his legal representative, attorney Kim Jong-bok (LKB & Partners Law Firm) will attend the press conference. While many reporters were waiting early at the scene, the ‘cheer truck’ sent by Kim Soo Hyun‘s overseas fans caught people’s attention on the nearby road. The ‘Kim Soo Hyun cheer truck’, which had disappeared for a while due to a parking issue, reappeared near the hotel as the press conference approached.

It was sent by South American fans, and they said, ‘Kim Soo Hyun has dedicated his life to art and his fans’ and asked them to stop the cyberbullying. However, no one who was presumed to be a fan was to be found at the scene. Only a truck was guarding the front of the press conference.



The YouTube channel ‘Garosero Research Institute’ (abbreviated as ‘Ga Se Yeon’), which previously appeared as a representative for the bereaved family of Kim Sae Ron, stated on the 10th through a broadcast that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron had dated for 6 years. However, Kim Soo Hyun and his agency Gold Medalist completely denied the related facts in their first statement. Rather, they foreshadowed legal action.

However, when ‘Ga Se Yeon’ paid no attention and released additional revelations and evidence of their relationship, Kim Soo Hyun and Gold Medalist admitted to the relationship in their second statement, but emphasized that ‘they met when they were adults, not minors.’.

And ‘Ga Se Yeon’ did not stop their revelations. The repercussions grew as they revealed messages that Kim Soo Hyun allegedly sent to Kim Sae Ron. Public opinion also deteriorated rapidly. As a result, it seems that Kim Soo-hyun and the gold medalist decided to hold a press conference instead of making an additional official statement.

What will Kim Soo-hyun say at the press conference? Attention is focused on the statement that Kim Soo-hyun will personally reveal after 20 days since the controversy began.
