The ongoing controversy surrounding Kim Soo Hyun and the late actress Kim Sae Ron has taken a toll not only on the actor’s reputation but also on his co-stars, Jung Hae In and Im Siwan. Though neither actor is directly involved in the scandal, their association with Kim Soo Hyun through the show Good Day has led to significant online backlash.
Kim Soo Hyun has maintained silence despite the growing controversy, but the effects are hard to ignore. His Instagram follower count has noticeably dropped, and his account has been flooded with critical comments from disappointed fans. This dip reflects the damage to his public image, with many fans expressing their anger by unfollowing him.
Unfortunately, the backlash has extended beyond Kim Soo Hyun to his co-stars, Jung Hae In and Im Siwan. Both actors have shared the screen with him in Good Day and are now facing criticism from fans for their continued association with him.
Jung Hae In, admired for his calm and steady personality, recently posted an update on Instagram. However, the comments section quickly filled with criticism, with many questioning why he still follows Kim Soo Hyun on social media. Some fans view this as a sign of support, leading to growing frustration.
