Before you read the article announcing that Kim Soo Hyun was cleared of the allegations against him, here are some significant definitions and explanations
불송치 (literally “not sending/referring”) is the police decision, after completing an investigation, not to forward the case to the prosecutors.
In the Kim Soo-hyun case, the police issued a “혐의없음” 불송치 (“no suspicion” non-referral). This is the strongest form of clearance among non-referral outcomes: the police determined there was no basis to recognize a violation of the Child Welfare Act.
The police’s “혐의없음” 불송치 decision means that after a full investigation of the Child Welfare Act allegations (including the period when Kim Sae-ron was under 18), they concluded the claims were not substantiated and closed the case without referring it for possible prosecution. Attorney Go’s statements in the article below emphasized that this was a definitive investigative conclusion on those specific allegations, separate from any ongoing trials involving the people who spread the claims.
Note: they went beyond the fake evidence to find out if KSH did, indeed, violate any Child Welfare Act laws - and found no such evidence.

Kim Soo-hyun cleared of Child Welfare Act violation… Lawyer: “Case closed with ‘no suspicion’ non-referral” Reporter Yoo Ji-hye | 2026. 7. 29. 16:58
Actor Kim Soo-hyun has been cleared of the allegations of having dated the late Kim Sae-ron while she was a minor. According to police on the 29th, Seongdong Police Station recently decided not to refer Kim Soo-hyun’s cases involving violation of the Child Welfare Act and false accusation.
/// removed paragraph recapping KSH’s hiatus
Kim Soo-hyun’s legal representative, attorney Go Sang-rok, stated that day: “The police investigated not only the claims and materials submitted by the other party, but also the relationship at the time and the related facts. As a result, they determined that there was no basis to recognize a violation of the Child Welfare Act by Mr. Kim Soo-hyun and decided not to refer the case.” He continued: “Under the Child Welfare Act, a ‘child’ refers to a person under the age of 18. In this case, the investigation examined whether the claim that Mr. Kim Soo-hyun dated the deceased Ms. Kim Sae-ron (hereinafter ‘the deceased’) during her third year of high school—when she was 19 in Korean age, including the period before she turned 18—was true, and whether any acts violating the Child Welfare Act, such as sexual or emotional abuse, occurred in the process. In other words, the investigation was not limited only to a portion of the deceased’s childhood. It covered the entire period of the raised allegations, including the third year of high school, which people commonly regard as the minor period.” He further stated: “The police investigated the claims and submitted materials from the other party as well as the relationship and relevant facts at the time, and concluded that there was no basis to recognize a Child Welfare Act violation by Mr. Kim Soo-hyun, deciding not to refer the case.” Additionally: “A non-referral decision does not mean that judgment is being reserved or that the outcome of another future trial is being awaited. It is a disposition by the investigative agency concluding that the establishment of the crime cannot be recognized with respect to the relevant allegation and therefore not referring the case to the prosecution, thereby ending the investigation. Accordingly, the official conclusion reached by the investigative agency at present is clear: the allegation that Mr. Kim Soo-hyun dated the deceased while she was a child, or committed acts violating the Child Welfare Act such as sexual abuse, has not been recognized.” He also noted: “The upcoming criminal trials of Kim Se-ui and related parties are not trials to determine whether Mr. Kim Soo-hyun violated the Child Welfare Act. They are trials to determine whether they spread false information or used fabricated materials and what crimes they committed in the process. Mr. Kim Soo-hyun’s minor-related allegations are not a legally unresolved matter that will only be concluded in a future trial. Those allegations have already been independently investigated and closed with a ‘no suspicion’ non-referral decision.” End of article
Welcome back to your rightful place, Kim Soo Hyun!
One day he will pay for what he did!!! I know now he will continue as if nothing happened, that’s life hey!…
This has been investigated every which-way to Sunday. There is no evidence he did anything wrong. Not because he’s a celebrity or because he’s rich. But because the authorities did their job. If you have more proof, bring it. I’m sure the authorities will be happy to have it. If not then stay silent about the accusations. Why didn’t KSR’s family release her phone? Could it be because there was other evidence on it, not related to KSH, that would have made them liars? If they were so intent on bringing justice for their daughter, they would have willingly given up her phone to the authorities. There are so many unanswered questions on the family’s end. But the haters have it all figured out on KSH’s end, even better than the investors.
amen. how many celebs have suicided over smaller struggles they deal with & ruined rep, but this pos takes…
Again, that heinous, very serious accusation must come with irrefutable evidence, of which there is NONE. If there is no evidence, then your post is defamation. Pure and simple.
amen. how many celebs have suicided over smaller struggles they deal with & ruined rep, but this pos takes…
Just to add…., Because of his ability to hire the legal team he hired, other innocent celebrities who fall victim to cyberbullying can thank him for exposing cyber defamation for what it is. The law is changing due to this case - thanks to kSH’s legal team. High-profile, innocent victims can fight back now, too, and not leave their industry or make the extreme choice so many others have made before them because they didn’t have the ability to fight back.
At the supposed timeframe age of consent was 13. (it has since been raised to 16). It has not been proven in court…
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I’m sure I read that once the investigation determined the evidence brought to them was fake, they went several steps farther. They concentrated on both KSH & KSR’s timelines and any other verifiable evidence (digital or non-digital) there was from her minor years in order to independently determine if KSH actually had a relationship with her while she was a minor. They found no evidence, independent of the fake evidence, to support the accusations. I can’t find that article but I read it in the last couple of weeks.
Here’s why you are a troll -you are about stirring up emotion to slander someone. You are not in honest pursuit of the truth. If you did as much as this MDL poster (in the link) did to explain themself then I could respect you, But you just say words without any backup, either to express an unintelligent, willfully uninformed opinion, OR to sway public opinion in your direction.
That kind of posting worked for so many months in concert with Garo Sareo and his band of cyber bullies. But now that the authorities have completed their thorough investigation and he with his 2 buddies behind bars, somehow the words of an innocent man (KSH in case you forgot) have been proven true.
but Trolls and cyber bullies will not rest and must continue to spew this tired rhetoric -and have the audacity to go on someone else’s MDL page, trying to tie in another innocent man, JHI, for believing in his friend all along.
Shame on you!
It’s not just KSH’s fans….., the public is getting tired of the simpletons who cannot and will not do their research and support their damning comments with proven FACTS.
I’ve seen your twisted comments other places so I know you are familiar with this poster, in the link, who tirelessly sought out the facts and who independently came out with the same conclusion as the investigators.
if you have irrefutable proof of your claims, bring it. otherwise stay silent about KSH.
How unexpected? He literally never stopped following Kim Soohyun on instagram
I may have replied to the wrong person. If that’s the case, I sincerely apologize. However, this thread is confusing because I honestly and respectfully can’t tell if you are supporting JHI or not.
This is my first watch and I’m nearly finished. This is truly a masterpiece. I agree there are a lot of moving parts. But that’s the point, right? To keep the viewer working it like a puzzle until it’s finished. I’ve been entranced!
Thank you to @My Way for the link
