Kim Soo Hyun‘s way of referring to himself has sparked major anger.
On March 31, Kim Soo Hyun held a press conference to address the recent controversy regarding the allegations related to the late actress Kim Sae Ron.

The actor got slammed for his appearance and actions.
Along with his actions, a particular word he used as a way to describe himself sparked major fury.
During the press conference, netizens noticed that Kim Soo Hyun referred to himself as “Star Kim Soo Hyun,” especially when comparing it to “Human Kim Soo Hyun.” Netizens hit back at the sudden outburst and use of “star,” as many thought it seemed like a joke. Many didn’t get why he used this wording in such a serious press conference and that his voice seemingly raised as he did.

"Human Kim Soohyun and star Kim Soohyun have different choices."
Kim Soohyun with his crocodile tears. We realized in this press conference that he will never admit or take responsibility for his guilt and will never ask for forgiveness or apologies.
