Kim Soo Hyun’s “Ridiculous” Use Of 3 Damage Control Teams To Handle Controversy Sparks Outrage
Kim Soo Hyun’s response to the controversy surrounding the late Kim Sae Ron has only fueled further outrage among the public. His crisis management strategy — which reportedly involves three separate teams handling different aspects of the situation — has left many questioning the actor’s approach.
According to recent reports, GOLD MEDALIST (Kim’s agency) has enlisted a law firm to oversee legal matters, a management team to monitor media coverage and brand partnerships, and a crisis management team tasked with gathering information from Kim Sae Ron’s acquaintances and former agency representatives.
The last group, in particular, is believed to have been retracing the events leading up to the actress’s passing, sparking speculation that they may have obtained significant statements or evidence.
Instead of easing public concerns, this extensive crisis response has backfired. Many believe the actor and his team are focusing more on damage control than addressing the issue with sincerity. The fact that they are actively persuading key individuals to hold a press conference has only worsened the backlash.
Kim Soo Hyun’s team is currently handling the crisis through three separate divisions. A law firm serves as the central control tower, overseeing legal matters, while the management team monitors media and advertising. Additionally, an internal and external team of crisis management experts is actively engaged. This crisis management team has reportedly been retracing the circumstances leading up to Kim Sae Ron’s death by meeting with her acquaintances and former agency officials, raising speculation that they may have obtained significant testimonies or evidence.

Korean netizens have taken to online forums, such as TheQoo, to express their frustration. They argue that Kim Soo Hyun’s team is prioritizing his career and public image over accountability. Some have even mocked the use of multiple crisis teams, pointing out that even international celebrities do not resort to such extreme measures.
- This is ridiculous.
- Of course. No matter how much he has, he always wants more. And he wouldn’t want to ruin the filmography he’s built up by being associated with a dirty and disgraceful image.
- Stop making a scene and just admit it and apologize instead of pulling these pathetic, evasive tactics.
- Crisis management team, Lee Jin Ho.
- LOL, even pop stars don’t have three crisis management teams.
