KOREAN actor Kim Soo-hyun is set to return to the Philippines for a fan meet, marking one of his major comeback events after being cleared of underage dating allegations.
Soo-hyun’s fan meet scheduled on Oct. 2 in Manila was organized and announced by a Philippine clothing and lifestyle brand he endorses.
“I’ve missed you all so much. I’m truly happy to be back with [the brand] and to see you again,” he said in a recently released video.
Just prior to this, Soo-hyun was cleared of allegations of violating South Korea’s Child Welfare Act, which stemmed from a criminal complaint filed by the family of the late actress Kim Sae-ron in May 2025. The family of Sae-ron alleged that Soo-hyun dated the late actress when she was just 15 years old.
The camp of the Korean actor admitted that he and Sae-ron indeed dated in the past, but stressed that the actress was not underage when their relationship began.
The police also concluded in May that the supposed evidence against Soo-hyun — which included messages and voice recordings — had been manipulated and generated using artificial intelligence.
Soo-hyun is best known for starring in several hit Korean series including “Dream High,” “My Love from the Star,” “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” and “Queen of Tears.” (Anne Pasajol © Philippine Daily Inquirer)
