Kim Jung Hyun reportedly apologized to SNSD's Seohyun at the 2024 KBS Drama Awards. The event was held privately and recorded for broadcast after the national mourning period in South Korea.

On Tuesday December 31, 2024, a tweet from the Twitter account owner @aboutloveknot who attended the 2024 KBS Drama Awards went viral. He reported how Kim Jung Hyun apologized to SNSD's Seohyun while receiving an award on the podium. Seohyun was the host that night.

"What was Kim Jung Hyun thinking when he apologized to Seohyun, who was the MC during his acceptance speech? Hahaha. For him, it was probably a moment he could forget once he got off the stage. However, for Seohyun, she still had to be the MC. 

He didn't even consider for a moment how he brought up a personal matter that affected Seohyun. Really impressive, hahaha. I've never seen such a late and selfish apology," wrote Twitter user @aboutloveknot in his viral tweet.

Until now, the tweet of the Twitter account owner @aboutloveknot has received more than 8 million views, 6.4 thousand likes and 6.3 thousand retweets. Not a few Korean netizens criticized Kim Jung Hyun because they felt that the apology was too late and should have been done backstage in private.

 Kim Jung Hyun was accused of trying to clear his name. Fans are reminded of Kim Jung Hyun's controversy, which involved his ex-girlfriend, Seo Yea Ji in 2021. As seen in the chat screenshots shared by Dispatch, Seo Yea Ji dictated Kim Jung Hyun to refuse an intimate scene with his co-star, SNSD's Seohyun in the Korean drama Time.

Not only that, Kim Jung Hyun was indifferent to SNSD's Seohyun during the press conference for the Korean drama Time in 2018. In his official statement, Kim Jung Hyun said that he was getting into character at that time. "Both on set and off set, I tried to live as Cheon Soo Ho. 

When I was sleeping and traveling, I let go and let Kim Jung Hyun out. I tried to control it. I just really devoted myself to the character. I really tried to be him," Kim Jung Hyun explained regarding his cold demeanor and reluctance to smile during the show.

Meanwhile, other viewers who attended the 2024 KBS Drama Awards said that the apology was not directed at SNSD's Seohyun. Kim Jung Hyun did not mention the actress' name. The broadcast schedule for the 2024 KBS Drama Awards has not been released by KBS.
