Actor Kim Soo-hyun made his first official appearance in about a year, receiving enthusiastic cheers from local fans in Indonesia.

According to Indonesian media outlets such as SINDOnews on the 23rd (local time), Kim visited the MNC Studio in Jakarta, Indonesia, to appear at RCTI's 37th-anniversary special event "Mahakarya RCTI 37."

Local reports indicate that Kim arrived at the venue around 7:23 p.m. that day. Thousands of fans gathered on-site, and as Kim stepped out of his vehicle and appeared in front of the main entrance, loud cheers and applause erupted.

Kim responded to the fans' enthusiastic cheers with a smile. He waved to both sides and greeted fans who were shouting his name.

Notably, after entering the lobby to prepare for an interview, Kim came out again and greeted the waiting fans once more. The scene was once again filled with loud cheers at his unexpected appearance.

Kim then took the stage for "Mahakarya RCTI 37," held in commemoration of RCTI's 37th anniversary.

He participated in a segment based on a virtual wedding ceremony between characters Sena and Davina from the Indonesian drama "Terikat Janji." He also joined quizzes such as guessing the titles of Korean dramas he had starred in, harmonizing with local cast members.

As Kim appeared on stage, cheers of "Oppa, Oppa!" erupted multiple times from the audience. Local media reported that every time Kim spoke or conversed with the cast, the studio was filled with cheers.

Previously, Kim had suspended his activities and pursued legal action following allegations regarding his private life related to the late Kim Sae-ron in March last year.

Kim Se-ui, operator of the YouTube channel Garoseoro Institute, who has raised related allegations, was arrested and prosecuted in June on charges including defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act, violation of the Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Violence, and violation of the Stalking Punishment Act.

Kim Se-ui is accused of spreading false claims that Kim Sae-ron had been in a relationship with Kim Soo-hyun since she was a minor and that the cause of her death was due to financial pressure from Kim Soo-hyun's side.

He is also facing charges of spreading false information using manipulated audio files of Kim Sae-ron created with generative artificial intelligence (AI) and damaging Kim Soo-hyun's reputation.
