This upcoming TV appearance will be Kim Soo Hyun’s first public event since in March of last year when he attended a press conference to address the controversy of his relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron.
On social networks, some fans and netizens welcomed the artist back to the industry, hoping to see him on the screen again, while others remained cautious and continue associating him with the previous accusation of his relationship with the late actress.
