Kim Soo-hyun's father suddenly took special action towards his son amid the scandal storm.
When South Korean top actor Kim Soo-hyun became embroiled in a shocking scandal involving the late actress Kim Sae-ron, his estranged biological father—veteran singer Kim Chung-hoon—unexpectedly broke his silence to defend his son.
“My son is not that kind of person,” Kim Chung-hoon declared relationship, publicly standing up for Kim Soo-hyun despite their famously rocky.
Their strained ties have long been the subject of speculation. Following a divorce from Kim Soo-hyun’s mother, Kim Chung-hoon remarried and started a new family, leaving the actor to be raised almost entirely by his mother. Over the years, Kim Soo-hyun has rarely mentioned his father in public, maintaining a noticeable emotional distance.
In 2024, when Kim Chung-hoon held a wedding ceremony with his current wife, Kim Soo-hyun was noticeably absent—fueling rumors of deep-seated family quarrels.
Now, the actor is facing disturbing allegations from Kim Sae-ron’s family, who claims the two began a relationship when she was still a minor. While Kim Soo-hyun's management has strongly denied the accusations, labeling them as baseless, the storm continues to grow. Legal action against those spreading false information has already been announced.
Despite the fractured relationship, Kim Chung-hoon’s rare public statement in support of his son suggests that—when reputations and careers are on the line—blood may still prove thicker than water.
