South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun is taking a bold legal stand to protect his name. In a dramatic turn of events, the beloved star has filed a lawsuit worth 12 billion won (approx. $8.7 million USD), firmly denying all false accusations made against him and vowing to defend his reputation at all costs.
In an official statement released by his legal team, Kim’s representatives confirmed that all legal fees have been fully covered, directly refuting recent media rumors suggesting the actor was struggling financially amid mounting legal expenses.
“Kim Soo-hyun has been deeply hurt by the spread of baseless claims targeting his character and professional integrity,” the statement reads. “This lawsuit is not just about money — it is about truth, accountability, and restoring his good name.”
While the details of the allegations remain undisclosed due to ongoing investigations, sources close to the case say the accusations involved personal matters that were “completely fabricated” and “malicious in intent.” Kim’s legal team also warned that they will be pursuing additional legal action against anyone who continues to circulate defamatory content.
Fans have rallied behind the It’s Okay to Not Be Okay actor, flooding social media with hashtags like #StandWithKimSooHyun and demanding justice for the star.
Kim Soo-hyun, known for his discretion and private nature, has rarely taken legal action in the past — making this bold move all the more significant. Insiders believe the size of the lawsuit reflects both the emotional and reputational damage he has suffered.
As the case unfolds, his agency assures the public that “truth will prevail” and that Kim is determined to take this battle to the very end.
