As actor Kim Soo-hyun fires the first shot of his return, Kim Se-ui (CEO), which raised allegations surrounding him, showed diverging paths by appealing for a provisional attachment on his deposit funds while remaining in custody.

On the 15th, Ben Chan, chairman of the Philippine clothing brand BENCH, announced Kim Soo-hyun's return as a model via his SNS.

Chairman Ben Chan stated, "Kim Soo-hyun has returned as a model for BENCH and is resuming one of the most iconic partnerships representing the brand," adding, "He has completed new advertising shoots, which serve as a signal to open a new chapter in his activities."

He further added, "Kim Soo-hyun, who has delivered memorable performances in dramas such as 'Queen of Tears,' 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay,' and 'My Love from the Star,' continues to enjoy enduring popularity across Asia. He demonstrates unwavering trust."

The jointly released video showed Kim Soo-hyun smiling at the advertising shoot site, shaking hands with Chairman Ben Chan, and posing for photos. Kim Soo-hyun also shared Chairman Ben Chan's post on his own SNS account to announce his return.

Meanwhile, Kim Se-ui (CEO), which has consistently raised allegations related to Kim Soo-hyun, is currently undergoing trial while in custody.

According to recent reports from the Gwaseoro YouTube channel, Kim Se-se claimed in a handwritten letter written from detention that YouTuber Eun Hyeon-ji had filed a provisional attachment on his 100 million won deposit claim. He stated, "There was only 300,000 won in my deposit account, but due to the attachment, I cannot purchase bottled water, toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes, or medicines," expressing his hardship.

He also said, "For the past few days, I have been vomiting due to symptoms of a cold and stomach upset, yet I cannot even buy cold medicine or stomach medicine," claiming a deterioration in his health condition. He further revealed that he is considering requesting the court to exclude the minimum amount necessary for his livelihood from the attachment target.

Previously, Eun Hyeon-ji announced that she had proceeded with a provisional attachment on Kim Se-se's deposit claim, stating, "I will make sure Kim Se-se cannot even buy and eat a single sausage in detention."

Meanwhile, following the death of Kim Sae-ron last year, Kim Soo-hyun was engulfed in various controversies. After halting all activities, he has continued legal responses. Kim Se-se, CEO of Gwaseoro Institute, has persistently claimed since March last year through YouTube broadcasts and other platforms that Kim Soo-hyun had been in a romantic relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron since their minor years and was responsible for her death. However, investigative authorities determined that the voice recording files released by Kim Se-se were fabricated using generative artificial intelligence (AI), and that the KakaoTalk conversation history between Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron was also manipulated.

On the 23rd of last month, Kim Se-se was arrested and prosecuted for violations including violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation by spreading false facts), violating the Special Act on Punishment of Stalking Crimes, violating the Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Crimes (distribution of filmed materials using cameras, etc.), attempted coercion, and threats.

While Kim Soo-hyun, who had halted activities after the controversy, is showing signs of resuming work starting with his advertising return, Kim Se-se is sharing updates amidst legal battles and custody, resulting in diverging paths for the two individuals.
