Actor Kim Soo Hyun has been embroiled in controversy after the late Kim Sae Ron‘s aunt alleged he dated the actress as a minor.
Actress Tang Wei is someone who has taken photos with Kim Soo Hyun at events, but it seems these few moments led to her being asked about the controversy.

On March 16, Tang Wei attended the 18th Asian Film Awards.
In an interview, Tang Wei was asked about the “controversy” surrounding Kim Soo Hyun, and she explained that she hadn’t pointed out that they once met at a premiere. When the reporter continued to ask, Tang Wei stayed calm and answered, explaining that they weren’t close.
Reporter: Have you been paying attention to the recent reports of Kim Soo Hyun’s controversy?
Tang Wei: I haven’t been paying attention, sorry. I think he once came to a premiere, and I saw him.
Reporter: But did you keep in touch with him?
Tang Wei: Actually, I don’t know…
Reporter: Would you perhaps find an opportunity to ask how he’s doing?
Tang Wei: Actually, I don’t know him. Sorry.
The video instantly became a hot topic on Weibo, but netizens hit back at involving the actress in the controversy when she had no involvement.
- “This was so unnecessary. What does this have anything to do with the goddess…”
- “The media’s questions make me speechless.”
- “You empathize with one girl but push another innocent one to the top of the hot search rankings. Some people are heartless.”
- “Quit asking actresses these kind of boring questions. No one wants anything to do with a pedophile.”
- “Why do you have to ask a question like this? Speechless.”
- “Even if she knew him, there’s nothing she could say.”
- “Tang Wei has taken photos with countless people at various events, so it’s normal that she wouldn’t know…he doesn’t deserve any interactions anyway.”
The video went viral on Weibo.
