Kim Soohyun bastard talked for 15 mins but I cant summarize anything? He is blabbing his random feelings and things like “I have many things to protect” and “I will do the same decision again for Queen of Tears”. He’s not saying anything concrete wtf🤣#kimsoohyun #김수현 pic.twitter.com/WivkUhPZJG

Kim soohyun saying he denied dating saeron at first cause he felt bad and wanted to protect Queen of tears staffs and other actors is crazy, Saeron needed him more than those people.

Not him using his co-workers as an excuse. What about the girl he groomed and abused for years? Isn’t she also important? Kim Soohyun is a disgusting psychopath, even going to this press con w makeup and hair done. No person of good conscience believes a word he says. Deplorable. https://t.co/EgoY4x31dJ

Kim soohyun brought also the queen of tears name because he needs to connect with the public/audience so saying keywords can make others empathetic even if this sound crazy is a perfect use of manipulation. What a psycho
