[Kang Il-hong's Today's Entertainment] 'Kim Soo-hyun's False Accusation' Confirmed... Late Kim Sae-ron's Mother Also Sentenced

'Pro-Japanese Descendant' Ha Young vs. 'Parents' Debt Controversy' Aitzing... Divergent Public OpinionTuesday, October 27, Kim Soo-hyun / Aitzing / Jeon Do-yeon / Lim Young Woong / Na-sol[THE FACT|Reporter Kang Il-hong] The 'fabrication of false information' and 'dissemination of lies' controversy that ensnared actor Kim Soo-hyun has entered a new phase.Regarding the case that raised suspicions of an underage relationship involving the late Kim Sae-ron, it has been reported that not only Kim Se-ui, the CEO of the Garo Sero Research Institute, but also individuals impersonating the deceased's mother and aunt, as well as the family's lawyer and a YouTube operator, have been sent to the prosecution.What will be the fate of the claims that have been made about Kim Soo-hyun all this time? Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, announced on the 26th that individuals impersonating the late Kim Sae-ron's mother and aunt have been sent to the prosecution on related charges.According to the police investigation result notification, charges such as defamation by stating false facts, dissemination of filmed content, and attempted coercion were applied to mother A and aunt impersonator B. Furthermore, family lawyer D and YouTube operator E were also reportedly handed over to the prosecution on charges related to defamation and dissemination of filmed content, respectively.In particular, the agency explained that the investigative authorities confirmed the forgery and alteration of KakaoTalk conversation content and AI voice manipulation data. The truth of the suspicions raised by Kim Soo-hyun's side is being treated as an important issue in the investigation process.Future legal proceedings will proceed to trial if the criminal charges are recognized by the prosecution, and the final verdict of guilt or innocence will be determined.However, the problem is the immense damage Kim Soo-hyun had to endure in the meantime. As rumors of an underage relationship and responsibility for the deceased's death spread, Kim Soo-hyun faced intense public pressure, and his entertainment activities were significantly disrupted.The impact on his work, advertisements, and various business activities, as well as the damage to his image and public trust built as an actor, were unavoidable. Although the specific amount of damages has not been officially confirmed, it is possible that the financial burden was significant, including loss of income due to the suspension of activities, contract losses, and costs associated with legal action.Above all, the mental suffering cannot be taken lightly, as public criticism was concentrated before the facts were clearly established.The core of this case is to thoroughly investigate who created and disseminated what materials, and what illegal acts were committed in the process. The suspicions raised against Kim Soo-hyun must also be strictly examined based on the police investigation results and the future judgment of the prosecution and the court.If someone's honor and daily life have been damaged by false information, it is also important to hold them accountable accordingly. The controversy surrounding Kim Soo-hyun is now facing a new legal judgment.One is shunned, the other is defended... What is the decisive difference that separated their fates?It's the same family risk, yet one person is on the verge of being kicked out, while the other is even discussing a fan fundraising campaign.Why is the public's reaction so starkly divided between actor Ha Young, who is embroiled in controversy over her great-grandfather's pro-Japanese activities, and Aitzing, a member of the girl group A2O LITE, created as part of SM's former general producer Lee Soo-man's comeback project?First, Ha Young. Ha Young boasted about her family's history of being doctors for four generations on broadcast, but later, suspicions of her great-grandfather's pro-Japanese activities emerged. Her agency initially denied the suspicions, then admitted to the relevant records and apologized, and Ha Young also bowed her head belatedly. However, the controversy also affected her advertising and acting activities.In contrast, Aitzing was embroiled in a controversy over her parents' unpaid wages immediately after her debut. Criticism poured in as the debt of about 660 million won became known, but some fans proposed a fundraising campaign, arguing that Aitzing, who is still young, should not be held responsible for her parents' actions.The key is not simply the family's wrongdoing. It is the weight of historical responsibility, the age of the person involved, and the difference in how they responded to the controversy.The pro-Japanese controversy during the Japanese colonial period goes beyond individual family history and touches upon the historical wounds of our society. In particular, Ha Young, who had directly boasted about her family, was criticized for glorifying her family history without fully verifying the past.On the other hand, Aitzing, born in 2013, is a minor and is not in a position to be directly responsible for her parents' business and debt problems, so a sympathetic view is gaining traction.What is the problem? It is certainly problematic to hold children responsible solely for the wrongdoings of their parents or ancestors. However, how the family's past was discussed and how the controversy was responded to can be evaluated as the individual's own responsibility.Ultimately, what the public sees is not just the family's wrongdoing itself. It is how much they are involved in the problem and how sincerely they responded.The public's judgment is still divided between the principle that children should not be held responsible for their parents' sins and the standard that public figures should be held accountable for their words and actions.Could she be the first Korean actress nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress?

First, the possibility of nomination cannot be taken lightly. This is because the acting skills of a globally recognized actress are combined with the artistic merit of director Lee Chang-dong's work. Notably, the fact that 'Possible Love' was selected as Korea's submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film is also noteworthy.However, submission for Best International Feature Film and nomination for Best Actress are separate procedures. In addition to the language barrier of being a non-English film, she must also overcome the high hurdle of the Best Actress category, where global stars compete.Jeon Do-yeon herself remained calm, stating that the Oscars had never been a goal for her. Ultimately, it is too early to be optimistic about winning at this stage. However, even just being nominated could mark a new milestone in Korean film history.Will Jeon Do-yeon be able to make history as the first Korean actress to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, following Youn Yuh-jung's win for Best Supporting Actress?

As a result, the real remarks or actions of ordinary contestants can sometimes lead to controversy or gossip.Oksoon from 'I Am Solo' Season 31 was embroiled in suspicions of rekindling her relationship after a friendly photo with Youngho was leaked.As the controversy grew, Oksoon directly addressed the situation. What exactly happened? On the 26th, photos of Oksoon and Youngho in close proximity and in a friendly atmosphere spread through online communities and social media.The two had ended up as a final couple on the show, but had later announced their breakup. Therefore, when the photos were released, speculations poured in, such as whether they had gotten back together or were even preparing for marriage.In response, Oksoon revealed through social media that the photo was leaked due to her mistake and was not intended to announce a reunion or marriage. She also stated that she had apologized to the other person and expressed her regret.However, there was another aspect that garnered more attention in this statement. It was her stance on various suspicions and false information surrounding her since the broadcast.Oksoon clarified that it is not true to conclude that she was the ringleader of bullying based solely on some scenes from the broadcast, drawing a line on the so-called bullying suspicions. She also confessed that unconfirmed stories repeatedly spread online made it difficult for her to lead a normal social life.She emphasized that she had been pursuing legal action focusing on cases of disseminating false information, not simply because she felt offended. She stated that she will continue to hold those who post or re-disseminate false information accountable through civil and criminal legal procedures.Ultimately, this controversy began with a single photo, but it has resurfaced issues beyond speculation about a reunion, including suspicions of bullying during the broadcast and the problem of false information online.What is clear is that the current relationship between the two cannot be determined solely by a photo. Shouldn't we make judgments based on the parties' statements, explanations, and confirmed facts rather than speculation?eel@tf.co.kr
