Kim Soo-Hyun Case: Knock Off pic, reports of additional lawsuits and topping in star rankings; latest updates

Kim Soo-Hyun’s case has caught the attention of the whole world. The Queen Of Tears star is fighting one of the most documented court cases from Korea’s drama world. In the past, Korean drama stars have been caught in scandals but what has happened in the Kim Soo-Hyun, and late Kim SaeRon matter is of another level altogether. The Bloodhounds actress died on February 15, a day away from the birthday of Kim Soo-Hyun. A month later, her family alleged that he groomed her when he was a minor and asked for an apology for the same.

There are reports in Koreaboo that two more firms that roped him as a brand ambassador have filed lawsuits. The sum is close to USD 2 million. Kim Soo-Hyun was the face of as much as 18 brands before this huge controversy broke out. His stint with Prada got terminated when he had just come on board. However, no one from Gold Medalist has confirmed about these lawsuits. In such cases, actors draw iron-clad contracts so that their liability is minimized. Some days back, there were reports of him facing lawsuits but his firm denied them.

Also, a new pic of him as Kim Seong-jun from Knock-Off has come on social media. It was trending all over last night. The series is somewhat similar to Raj and DK’s Farzi where a middle class man facing financial crisis gets into fraud business. It is coming on Disney Korea. This picture was seen on IMDb. People are discussing how much penalty he will have to pay if Disney decided to file a lawsuit on him. However, the streaming platform has stalled all its plans on Knock-Off’s release till the Court matter is resolved.

Kim Soo-Hyun, is going strong on popularity charts beating Kim Nam-gil in a recent ranking survey.
