Kim Soo Hyun has recently been embroiled in controversy after being accused of dating the late Kim Sae Ron when the actress was still a minor. However, the star of the drama "Queen of Tears" has actually denied accusations of being a pedophile and groomer. Now, rumors of Soo Hyun's family past are being discussed again by the public.
The mother of the actor is suspected of working in bars and nightclubs in the entertainment industry. Due to Kim Soo Hyun's childhood exposure to nightlife and being constantly surrounded by older men and women, various rumors state that this triggered his irrational behavior and obsession with younger girls.
Kim Soo Hyun's mother was also reported to have had a baby out of wedlock while working as a hostess. The baby, named Lee Sarang, was reportedly not properly registered in the family and is believed to be Soo Hyun's half-sister, despite being publicly known as her cousin.
As more stories about the film "Real" continue to emerge, past stories in the industry that Kim Soo Hyun's cousin may actually be her half-sister and the family's messy relationship are resurfacing. Rumors about Kim Soo Hyun's father have also become a hot topic, with netizens claiming that the actor's poor parenting and his parents' behavior are the cause of his current situation.
His father, Kim Chung Hoon, the former lead vocalist of the famous 80s rock band Seven Dolphins, decided to divorce Soo Hyun's mother and start a new family. In the past, Chung Hoon shared in a 2019 interview how he regretted not being there for his son during an important time due to his commitments to the band.
"Kim Soo Hyun needs surgery," Chung Hoon said. "It wasn't a major surgery, so I didn't think much of it, but it turned out to be quite a significant surgery. I had obligations with my band, and unfortunately, I couldn't go," he added, raising suspicions that his family may have been neglectful and not providing the support or attention a child needs.
Chung Hoon even held a private wedding under the spotlight while Kim Soo Hyun was promoting "Queen of Tears". Although there were rumors that they had a strong relationship, Soo Hyun did not attend the wedding. Out of respect for his mother, Kim Soo Hyun always claimed to be an only child.
The actor did not acknowledge his relationship with his half-sister, Kim Joo Na, until the younger sibling gained media attention after appearing on the program "Produce 101". Netizens began to comment on the impact of family environment on one's growth.
Many also noted that Kim Soo Hyun single-handedly supported not only her immediate family, but also her father's new family. Netizens commented, "Although it's just a rumor, it seems like some people can understand Kim Soo Hyun's side after hearing this." Others wrote, "His family is a mess, he must have suffered extreme emotional damage."
