In a dramatic and unprecedented move, actor Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has declared a global legal offensive against cyberbullying and defamation. The announcement comes amid a wave of online hate, harassment, and fabricated rumors targeting the actor, who has been entangled in a highly publicized controversy in recent months.
The agency issued a firm and chilling statement: “We will pursue every avenue—domestic and international—to hold malicious actors accountable. There will be zero tolerance moving forward.” The message was loud and clear: whether it’s anonymous trolls on forums or content creators profiting off falsehoods, no one is safe from legal action.
This aggressive stance signals a turning point in the way Korean entertainment agencies handle digital abuse. With Kim Soo Hyun’s reputation taking hits from viral conspiracy theories, alleged leaked messages, and speculative YouTube content, the agency has decided to no longer play defense. Instead, they’re going on the attack—with lawyers in tow.
Gold Medalist’s legal team has already begun filing lawsuits against multiple individuals and groups across various platforms, both in Korea and overseas. According to insiders, they’re also working with international legal partners to pursue cases where the defamation has crossed borders, aiming to set a new precedent in the fight against cyber harassment in the entertainment world.
Fans have reacted with thunderous support, launching hashtags like #ProtectKimSooHyun and flooding social media with encouragement. Many see the agency’s declaration as a long-overdue reckoning for the toxic culture of digital rumor-mongering that has claimed many celebrity careers—and lives.
With the agency standing like a fortress behind its star, the message is crystal clear: Kim Soo Hyun is no longer alone in this battle. And for those hiding behind anonymous accounts, the countdown to accountability has officially begun.
