Disney Plus is in the spotlight after releasing the latest photo of Kim Soo Hyun from the drama Knock Off. The drama itself is reportedly being postponed because the main actor, Kim Soo Hyun, is embroiled in controversy.
These photos were shared through various online communities such as Instiz with the title “Disney Reveals Kim Soo Hyun’s New Visual in Knock Off”. Instantly, this upload went viral. Many people are amazed by Kim Soo Hyun's visuals which remain captivating and the drama's feel which looks stylish and luxurious.
However, what has caught the public's attention the most is the timing —why did Disney Plus choose to publish the content amidst an unresolved issue? The public is divided in opinion. Most netizens expressed surprise and disappointment because Disney Plus was considered to still be promoting a project involving a controversial figure.
Comments like “Are they crazy?”, “Huh? They continue without consequences?”, and “Disney is really out of their minds” were popping up in the Instiz comments column. The drama Knock Off was previously touted as Kim Soo Hyun's big project this year.
However, due to legal issues and public debate involving him, the project was reportedly put on hold. However, the release of the new photos has many wondering whether Disney Plus plans to continue airing the drama or is simply trying to gain public attention amidst this difficult situation.
Interestingly, amidst the storm of criticism that attacked him, Kim Soo Hyun actually received good news. He managed to take first place in Top Star News' monthly poll for the most popular male actor category. Of the total 5,519,310 votes cast, Kim Soo Hyun received 2,242,170 votes.
This result surprised many international fans and confirmed that Kim Soo Hyun's popularity in South Korea is still very strong even though he is facing controversies. However, that doesn't mean everything went smoothly for the actor.
He is also reportedly facing an additional lawsuit worth 2.8 billion won from advertisers, as well as the potential for other advertising fines of a fairly large amount. All of this is the aftermath of a case that also dragged in the name of actress Kim Sae-ron, who is known to be involved in this legal situation.
The public is now waiting for the next steps from Disney Plus. Will the drama Knock Off still be released? Or is this just part of a mistimed promotional strategy? One thing is for sure, Kim Soo Hyun is still the center of attention—both in the entertainment world and in the public sphere.
