Actor Kim Soo-hyun returned to a domestic stage for the first time in one year and six months.

On the afternoon of the 19th, Kim Soo-hyun attended the '2026 The Fact Music Awards' held at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium as an award presenter. This marks his first appearance at a domestic official event since a press conference held in March last year, one year and six months ago.

On this day, Kim Soo-hyun took the stage to present the 'TMA Popularity Award' and greeted the audience with a bright smile. Dressed in an all-black suit, he proceeded with the presentation without showing any signs of nervousness despite his first official appearance in a long time.

He said, "Although I am standing here today as an award presenter, I am also one of the listeners who truly loves K-pop."

Continuing, he added, "K-pop has now become a single culture that transcends borders and languages, fostering empathy and communication. This likely signifies that the power of music has grown even stronger."

The recipient of the 'TMA Popularity Award' was singer Im Young-woong. Award presenter Kim Soo-hyun and Jeon Dal-bat-neun (수상) recipient Im Young-woong exchanged polite greetings with each other.

Im Young-woong shared his acceptance remarks, saying, "I would like to express my gratitude once again to the 'Hero Era' family. Thank you, and I love you."

MC Jeon Hyun-moo said, "Congratulations to Lim Yeong-ung-ui (수상). I also extend my thanks to Kim Soo-hyun for joining us as an award presenter."

Previously, in March last year, Kim Soo-hyun temporarily suspended his activities amid rumors related to his private life. However, Kim Soo-hyun's side consistently denied the allegations, and the Seoul Seongdong Police Station, which investigated the case, decided on the 7th not to file charges against Kim Soo-hyun for alleged violations of the Child Welfare Act and false accusations due to insufficient evidence. The Prosecution Service also returned the case files to the police without requesting any additional or re-investigation.

Additionally, Kim Se-woo, CEO of Garo-Sero Research Institute (Gaseyeon), who spread false information about Kim Soo-hyun, was arrested and prosecuted on charges including violation of the Information and Communication Network Act (defamation).

Having shaken off judicial burdens, Kim Soo-hyun will meet fans from around the world at the 'Asia Artist Awards 2026' (AAA 2026), to be held on December 5th and 6th at the Kaohsiung National Stadium.
