Actor Kim Soo-hyun conveyed his return greeting. This comes about one year and four months after the controversy over his private life.
The Philippine fashion brand Bench revealed on the 2nd via its official channel a video of Kim Soo-hyun, stating, "Our beloved global Bench-setter has returned."
Kim Soo-hyun in the video said, "I really missed you all," and added, "I am happy to greet you through the bench for the first time in a while. Please look forward to this bench."
In particular, Kim Soo-hyun drew attention by waving his hand with a bright smile.

Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun became embroiled in a personal life controversy starting in March last year. At the time, the YouTube channel 'Garo Sero Research Institute' Kim Se-ui (CEO) persistently claimed that Kim Soo-hyun had dated the late Kim Sa-rin when she was a minor and bore responsibility for her death. The channel also held a press conference on behalf of the bereaved family and released materials including an audio recording of the late Kim Sa-rin's voice and what it claimed were KakaoTalk conversations with Kim Soo-hyun.
However, investigative authorities determined that the voice recording file released by Kim Se-he was a fabricated file generated by generative artificial intelligence (AI), and that the KakaoTalk conversation between Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sa-ron was also manipulated.
In May, Kim Se-ui (CEO) was arrested on charges including spreading false information about Kim Soo-hyun. The first trial is scheduled for August.
Amid the fallout from the controversy, Kim Soo-hyun suspended all activities and continued with legal measures. After being arrested as Kim Se-ui (CEO) and clearing his name, Kim Soo-hyun announced a resumption of activities, starting with a return to advertising.
