Actor Kim Soo-hyun is set to resume his entertainment activities after more than a year.

On the 8th, a representative of Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, told StarNews, "It is correct that Kim Soo-hyun will shoot an advertisement for the Philippine fashion brand 'Bench' on July 14."

Kim Soo-hyun had halted his activities, including the suspension of filming for the Disney+ series 'Knock Off,' amid negative rumors such as claims that he dated the late actress Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor. However, he has recently cleared his name and shown signs of resuming his activities.

On the 5th, Gold Medalist announced the results of the police investigation into the lawsuit and criminal complaint filed against the YouTube channel 'Garo-Sero Research Institute' Kim Se-ui (CEO) for spreading rumors about Kim Soo-hyun. The agency stated, "As a result of the police investigation, charges including violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation by posting false facts), violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes, violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, etc. (distribution of filmed materials using cameras, etc.), attempted coercion, and threats were recognized. Considering the seriousness of the matter, the police have detained and transferred Kim Se-ui to the Prosecution Service."

The agency also said, "We deeply thank those who spoke out on behalf of Mr. Kim Soo-hyun for a long time while waiting for the procedures prescribed by law, even though they were not direct parties to the incident." It further added, "We also express our gratitude to those who worked hard by directly investigating to reveal the truth of the incident and to everyone who joined efforts to ensure the reality of the incident became widely known."

Kim Soo-hyun is reported to have faced damage compensation lawsuits totaling over 10 billion won from various companies, including Prombio, Classys, Kukje Electronics, and Trend Maker.
