Kim Soo-hyun had halted activities after YouTube channel 'Garo-Sero Research Institute' Kim Se-ui (CEO) raised allegations that Kim Soo-hyun dated the late Kim Sae-ron during her minor years.

However, Kim Se-se recently was arrested and transferred to prosecution on charges including violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation by dissemination of false facts), violation of the Special Act on Punishment of Stalking Crimes, violation of the Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, etc. (distribution of filmed materials using cameras, etc.), attempted coercion, and threats. Police believe that the recorded conversations between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron claimed by Kim Se-se, as well as messenger chat logs, were all fabricated.

Currently, Kim Soo-hyun is preparing to resume activities. He has officially confirmed filming an advertisement for a Philippine fashion brand in Korea this month, signaling his return to work.
