Netflix Korea Reaffirms Support for Kim Soo-hyun: “No Plans to Drop Projects”
In a significant show of confidence, Netflix Korea has publicly reaffirmed its support for actor Kim Soo-hyun amid ongoing controversies surrounding his personal life. Despite the swirling allegations and public scrutiny, the streaming giant has confirmed that there are no plans to halt or alter any current or upcoming projects involving the acclaimed actor.
This announcement comes at a time when Kim Soo-hyun is facing allegations related to his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. While some brands and collaborators have distanced themselves from the actor, Netflix’s steadfast support underscores its commitment to its partnerships and content integrity.
Kim Soo-hyun’s recent work with Netflix includes the highly successful series “Queen of Tears,” which garnered impressive viewership and critical acclaim.

The actor is also set to star in the upcoming Disney+ series “Knock Off,” a black comedy that delves into the world of counterfeiting during the 1997 Asian financial crisis. While Disney+ has postponed the release of the series due to the ongoing controversy, Netflix’s continued support for Kim Soo-hyun highlights a contrasting approach within the industry.
Industry insiders suggest that Netflix’s decision may be influenced by the actor’s proven track record and the strong performance of his previous projects on the platform. By maintaining their collaboration, Netflix not only supports the actor but also ensures the continuation of high-quality content for its global audience.
As the situation unfolds, Netflix’s unwavering support for Kim Soo-hyun sets a precedent in the entertainment industry, emphasizing the importance of due process and the value of established partnerships.
