[0630] #KimSoohyun’s Long-Awaited Comeback Is Finally Here
The way people look at actor Kim Soohyun is with sympathy. That is because he was made to carry an “unfair false accusation” based on manipulated information, and in reality had to stop almost all of his activities.
Recently, the situation has changed a lot after Garosero Research Institute CEO Kim Seui was arrested, indicted, and sent to trial. One is the news of actor Kim Soohyun’s official return in July, and the other is additional legal action surrounding Garosero Research Institute CEO Kim Seui.
Looking at these two cases together, one saying naturally comes to mind. It is “사필귀정” (sapilgwijong), meaning that in the end, everything returns to what is right.
Kim Soohyun is scheduled to officially resume his activities after about one year through a commercial shoot for a Philippine fashion brand on July 14. During the past year, it is known that he spent time recharging by taking care of his health, studying acting, and watching projects, while making almost no public appearances.
Also, the damages lawsuit worth about 3.9 billion won filed by Frombio has had its hearing, which was originally scheduled for July, postponed to August. The court decided that it needed to more closely examine the reason for the alleged breach of the contractual obligation to maintain dignity, along with the related evidence, and will continue the hearing after receiving additional materials.
In other words, the legal judgment has not been completed yet. Even so, Kim Soohyun stopped almost all of his activities for nearly a year and carried a huge social burden. Now that his official schedule is starting again, it can at least be seen as a sign that the environment for him to continue his activities is slowly recovering.
Looking back at the past year, many people treated Kim Soohyun as if he were guilty based only on claims that had not been confirmed. But as time has passed, the legal process has moved forward step by step, while the people suspected of spreading false information are instead finding themselves facing legal responsibility.
Meanwhile, Kim Soohyun has endured a long break while preparing for his return. Not every trial has ended yet. But at least based on how things have unfolded so far, it can be seen as another reminder that the law and evidence matter more than a rushed trial by public opinion.
The saying “사필귀정” (sapilgwijong) is not about deciding the outcome in advance. Rather, it means that in the end, the truth should be revealed through the law and objective evidence.
Kim Soohyun’s return can be seen as the natural next step of resuming his work as an actor, separate from the legal process, while CEO Kim Seui will have the various legal responsibilities surrounding him judged through the judicial process.
Going forward, what matters is not emotions or guesses, but facts, evidence, and the court’s judgment. It seems necessary to keep watching until the court reaches its final conclusion.
