With actor Kim Soo-hyun cleared of allegations of dating a minor, his global fans have expressed joy over the possibility of his return.

On the 27th, recent posts on Kim Soo-hyun's Instagram were flooded with fans leaving supportive comments such as "We are waiting for you," "Congratulations," "I knew you would return," and "I believed in you. It must have been tough for a year; let's walk only on a flower path from now on."

Supportive messages continued with comments like "We will keep supporting you. Please come out soon," "You have finally won," "It is hard to imagine the hardships you endured, but you really went through a lot," and "In a world where lies prevail, truth is buried, and a precious person's time flows away like that. Mr. Soo-hyun, you must have suffered greatly."

Kim Soo-hyun last posted a photo taken during his schedule on his Instagram feed in February last year. Despite having 18 million followers, he has suspended his SNS activities for one year and three months since the allegations of dating a minor surfaced.

On the 27th, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, issued an official statement: "Regarding the various criminal complaints and reports filed by Kim Soo-hyun and our agency against Kim Se-ui of Garoseoro Institute, the investigation results confirmed that the various allegations and evidence presented by Garoseoro Institute against Kim Soo-hyun are false."

The agency added, "In particular, it was revealed that the deceased's KakaoTalk conversations, which were disclosed through a press conference, were fabricated and altered conversations with third parties unrelated to Kim Soo-hyun, and the deceased's voice was also confirmed to be a manipulated material generated using AI technology."

It further stated, "Given the seriousness of the matter, including charges of violating the Act on the Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation by posting false facts), the Special Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes, the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (distribution of filmed materials using cameras, etc., and coercion to use filmed materials), and threats, the court issued an arrest warrant for Kim Se-ui."

Judge Bu Dong-sik, head of the warrant division at Seoul Central District Court, held a substantive review (pre-arrest interrogation of the suspect) for Kim Se-ui, who was indicted on charges of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (filming and distribution using cameras, etc.), defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act, threats, and attempted coercion on the 26th, stating, "There is a risk of evidence destruction and escape," and issued an arrest warrant.

Kim Se-ui faces allegations that Kim Soo-hyun dated the late actress Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor, that Kim Soo-hyun's side pressured the repayment of debts, which was the direct cause of Kim Sae-ron's death, and that he distributed recordings and other materials. He is also accused of fabricating false facts by manipulating the late Kim Sae-ron's voice using AI to damage Kim Soo-hyun's reputation. Law enforcement authorities believe that the KakaoTalk conversation contents presented by Kim Se-ui at a press conference around March last year, claiming that Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron were in a relationship, were also fabricated.
