While Kim Soo-hyun’s recent press conference garnered massive attention for its emotional delivery and raw confessions, not all viewers were moved. A sharply critical post by a netizen on FM Korea has gone viral, igniting debate over the actor’s sincerity and whether the event was more of a PR performance than a heartfelt admission.
The original post, titled “The Fundamental Credibility Issue With Kim Soo-hyun’s Press Conference,” calls out the internal contradiction in Kim’s message. The author argues that Kim’s own admission undermines the purpose of the conference, stating:
“By his own admission, Kim Soo-hyun exists first and foremost as a celebrity — where billions of won depend on his image. His claim that this pressure forced him to lie is understandable.
But here’s the issue: he cried, asking for understanding about being ‘forced to lie’… and then said he’d do it again if he could go back. So how can anyone trust this press conference isn’t another calculated performance?”
The post continues to question how Kim’s claim to “tell the truth now” can hold any weight when he openly confessed he lied in the past and would still lie under the same conditions.
“When the core message is ‘I lied to protect my image,’ but now there’s even more at stake how is this lengthy explanation suddenly the truth?”, the author added.
The post quickly gained traction, with the comments section flooded by users echoing similar sentiments. Many pointed to contradictions in Kim Soo-hyun’s timeline and reasoning:
- “I thought the exact same thing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He said if he went back to “Queen of Tears” promotions, he’d lie again — yet now he’s asking us to believe him?”
- “He literally said ‘I had to lie,’ and now he says, ‘But I’m telling the truth.’ That’s not growth, that’s spin.”
- “It’s true his credibility tanked the moment he changed his story — from denying the relationship to saying they dated post-adulthood.”
- “If he had real proof, he wouldn’t need to cry. Emotions are the last card when you have nothing concrete.”
Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun’s press conference, which included him tearfully denying any romantic involvement with Kim Sae Ron as a minor and accusing her family of manipulating evidence, has dominated headlines. Whether his press conference will ultimately sway public opinion or backfire entirely is still up in the air but what’s certain is that trust is now Kim Soo-hyun’s hardest battle.
