I get where you’re coming from. The one difference in your story tho is that your teacher did not lust or get romantically involved with you once you reached adult age. Kim Soo Hyun did. That to me is already gross behavior. Especially if you’ve seen that person grow up, the ones I know like this in real life will always remain like that in my eyes. As for an investigation, if it’s only about him dating Sae Ron as a minor it won’t happen since age of consent was 13 back then

Yes. Why does an almost 30 year old man have to be that close to a teenager and sent her letters while he’s in military? Saying he misses her and using nicknames then apparently 2 years later they actually start dating. You can make what you want of it but to me it can't look any more obvious

Well here is the article of the agency confirming the letters: https://www.edaily.co.kr/News/Read?newsId=01239846642103320&mediaCodeNo=258. Obviously he's never going to admittely say it's a love letter because this was while she was still a minor as well, but sending her letters in the first place saying he misses her and using nicknames and then 2 years later they "actually" start dating. You can make what you want of it but to me it can't look any more obvious

With under the radar I mean that most people were not aware which is the case

Well him admitting to the letters he sent her from military while she was 17 is enough confirmation

Was about to comment the same.. very tragic

How are you liking it so far? :)

Same here I usually don't care about kids or babies but Hani is adorable

Not at all it's just how I interpreted your long replies, not sure why you think I'm gaslighting or harassing you

It's more like I find it interesting that you seem to get worked up over SIGS comment that's why I said I'd just ignore whoever disagrees with the statement of separating art from an artist. As for KSH being guilty or not, his agency confirming the military love letters he sent her when she was 17 is the one thing that convinced me

You seem to be getting very worked up and I don't really get why because it sounds like you already know where you stand at. Separating art from an artist is fine. If people want to boycott let them be, I myself won't be watching any of KSH's work anymore either, but if others still want to check out work that he happens to be in that's fine too (The Thieves is a great movie with a huge star filled cast). A lot of people often feel like they are on some moral high ground. Where the line needs to be drawn tho is actively supporting the artist himself if you know he's a terrible person but as long as you're aware I don't see any harm and I'd just ignore whoever is judging you for it

There actually isn't because Kim Soo Hyun will never be prosecuted since the age of consent was 13 years old at the time

No because everything was very under the radar. Most people were not aware, I wasn’t either. It wasn’t until the current situation that everything has been put into spotlight

This is not a case of the internet wanting a new target to bully. We’re talking about Kim Soo Hyun here, most paid actor of South Korea with an inmense popular filmography. Him being a wolf in sheep’s clothing has shocked everyone, of course people are upset and making so much noise

I agree but it's the explanation I got: https://mydramalist.com/discussions/support/139294-why-is-mdl-hiding-the-current-kim-soo-hyun-article

Yeah many factors play a role honestly. People in their early 20s are usually students. Students have a whole different life going on compared to a full time working adult

I'm not saying 25 and 20 is wrong but that even that I'd personally not prefer doing because early 20s is still so immature

Yeah it is disturbing. I’m 25 now and the older I get the more it creeps me out. I could never feel romantically or lust over someone years younger than me, even a 20 year old feels very underdeveloped to me because that’s how I was at that age too. I can totally understand teenagers defending KSH since they probably don’t realize yet what is wrong with it. But seeing many adult women being on his side is immensely disappointing especially given all the evidences.

Yes 13. Since 2020 South Korean law changed it to 16

Well it is the case since the agency confirmed it. Unfortunately nothing will happen with him tho since at the time age of consent was 13 years old
