Kim Soo Hyun has stated he would make the same decision to hide his relatinship with Kim Sae Ron if he could turn back time.
In an emergency press conference held today, March 31 KST, Kim Soo Hyun and his legal representatives from law firm LKB & Partners spoke in front of the media at the Stanford Hotel, Seoul. There, Kim Soo Hyun spoke about he would make the same decision to hide his relationship with Kim Sae Ron.
Once I debuted as an actor, I’ve received so much love. I have never been one to own much, but I suddenly had so much to protect and hold on to. Even when ‘Queen of Tears’ was airing, I had a lot to protect as the male lead. I wondered what might happen if I admitted to having been in a relationship with the deceased. What will happen to the cast? The staff working hard day and night? The production company who invested in the show? My management company? What will happen to them all? Every time there was a clash between Kim Soo Hyun as a human being and Kim Soo Hyun as a celebrity, I ended up making the best decision for the celebrity Kim Soo Hyun. And it made me terrified every single day. Because of the decisions I’ve made as a star… damn it i missed some here.
But even if I go back to when the show was airing, I will make the same decisions.
If you say these decisions are cowardly and selfish, I accept that. And to all who loved and supported me, I apologize.
— Kim Soo Hyun
Kim Soo Hyun previously confirmed earlier in his press conference that he did date Kim Sae Ron for one year in 2020.
