Actor Kim Soo Hyun has been cleared of all allegations in his legal case against the late Kim Sae Ron’s family. However, his public reputation took a big hit last year, with many people having mixed reactions about any updates about his case. Not only that, but according to new reports, while almost everyone is boycotting the ‘It’s Okay To Not Be Okay’ actor, co-star Jung Hae In is said to be standing by his side. When the report became known, netizens started sharing their various reactions to the news.
It has been reported that Jung Hae In continues to support Kim Soo Hyun amid the allegations
About a year ago, Kim Soo Hyun was accused of dating Kim Sae Ron as an adult while she was still a minor. On top of that, his company was also accused of forcing the star to pay the debt. While the actor clarified all the allegations after the investigation, many netizens are not okay with that decision. According to a report made by MHN, fellow actor Jung Hae In, known for his work in ‘Tune In For Love’ and ‘While You Were Sleeping’, is said to have supported him in everything, despite many people and companies in the industry boycotting the actor in South Korea. YouTuber Eun Hyun-jang, a controversial influencer who has been accused of many things, also mentioned Jung Hae In and Kim Soo Hyun in her latest video. In the uploaded post, he detailed how many people who turned against him contacted him again, and how ridiculous the situation was. In addition to the video, he mentioned that “Jung Hae-in is the only one who didn’t even unfollow me on social media and stayed by my side until the end. He is a friend I have met a few times who has given me a lot of support. And he also watched over Kim Soo-hyun who never unfollowed him until the end. That’s why I always call him my younger brother, Jung Hae-in.”This report caused a backlash online, with many people criticizing Hae In for standing up to someone accused of such crimes. He has faced criticism in the past year. At the time, she was one of the few celebrities who did not immediately unfollow Kim Soo Hyun after the allegations and scandals came to light.
Netizens reacted strongly to the report
When the report and the YouTuber’s video spread online, many netizens debated the actor’s credibility and how he could stand up to someone accused of such crimes. One person’s post about the matter read, “I have always hated Jung Hae In,” while another person posted, “I thought it was just a joke but Jung Haein is really still without shamefully following Kim Soohyun. (crying emojis) I have to check and this just made me sad—what’s wrong with him?? They really are besties, right?! (crying emojis and laughing while crying).“Another social media user commented, “Disappointed with Jung Hae. Now, join him in hell.” Another comment on the matter read, “Haein is not the only one. Hyunwook, Chaemin or anyone who follows that person should realize that fans and K-drama fans in general are not obliged to ignore everything and continue to cheer; they have the right to ask questions, get frustrated and walk away if their values ​​don’t match.“At the time of writing, neither Jung Hae In nor Kim Soo Hyun have spoken publicly about the report and the ongoing backlash.
