He was made to look bad in front of the other players.

Fans are shocked to hear that one of Korea's best stars, Kim Soo Hyun, was fired from the famous drama Boys Over Flowers.

On May 16, a post called "Kim Soo Hyun Was Replaced While Reading for Boys Over Flowers" went popular. In the post, the writer put up a few pictures from a reading session with the actors of the drama.

Fans were surprised, though, to see a young Kim Soo Hyun reading at the table with the other stars.

During the reading, the actor was yelled at by the director, and another actor finally took his place. You can find the translations for the comments below.

"The Boys Over Flowers reading was a lot of fun!"

"Oh…" (Kim Soo Hyun shows up). In front of the director, the writer, and the players… After reading and learning the script on his own with Koo Hye Sun, he is now acting it out."

"All of a sudden, the director scolds Kim Soo Hyun and tells him he's doing it wrong…. The director warns the player not to be too eager…"

"Kim Soo Hyun looks a little surprised and stiff…."
"After hearing the director scold him, the players around him laughed… F@ck. Soo Hyunnie is frozen… ㅠ_ㅠ"
"Kim Soo Hyun is given another chance to act, but… The director didn't seem to like how he acted."
"In the end, Jung Eui Chul was chosen for the part."

Soo Hyun was changed in the end, and she left. Oh my… (The Japanese caption says: The part was not given to the new actor.)

When Netizens saw the post, they tried to comfort the star. Many people were shocked by how the director made Kim Soo Hyun look bad in front of the other players.

"The director doesn't know how to spot good actors. Why is he making him feel bad? Even if he was going to replace him, he should have done it in a kind way. Why does he say bad things about the actor?"
"If that had been me, I'd have been so upset, LOL. I have a weak mind…"
"Wow, he even read the plot with other actors, but he must have been so scared. I think they are mean to new stars and actors who aren't known yet."
"It hurts my heart."
"Every time I see this, it hurts my heart. Couldn't he have found a better way to replace the actor? Is there a reason why he put him down in this way?"

"The best talent there is probably Kim Soo Hyun, LOL."

"Why would you put someone else in his place on the reading set? There's too much of this."

Kim Soo Hyun is now one of the best actors in Korea, so it looks like the director really didn't know how to spot ability.

Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has spoken up about the recent controversy involving the late Sulli and her bed scene in the 2017 movie Real.

On April 2, Gold Medalist released an official statement saying, “From the very beginning, the role of Song Yoohwa, played by the late Sulli, included a bed scene. This was clearly stated during casting, and the actress had to be comfortable with it.”

They explained, “Just like job listings mention necessary qualifications, this role required exposure, and that was made clear in advance. If these things are only discussed after casting, it can create unnecessary pressure on the actor.”

The agency also emphasized, “Sulli and her agency were fully aware of the bed scene before she accepted the role. The script clearly described the level of exposure required, and the contract also included these details.”

Addressing rumors about a body double, they stated, “There was no body double for the acting. A ‘standing actor’ was only used during rehearsals to help with movement cues.”

Gold Medalist also included statements from Real’s assistant director Kim Joong Wook and script supervisor Lee Jun Hyun, confirming, “No actor was ever forced into doing a bed scene or nudity. That would never happen on set.”

As for claims that they contacted Sulli’s mother, the agency denied it and responded to her brother’s accusations, saying, “It’s understandable to have concerns about things heard at the funeral. However, bringing up something from six years ago and spreading false information as if it were personally witnessed is hard to accept.”

Finally, they urged people to stop spreading false rumors, saying, “Many people worked hard on Real, and these baseless accusations are hurtful. Also, there have been false rumors targeting Kim Soo Hyun recently. We sincerely ask for an end to speculative reports and misinformation.”

This comes after the late Sulli’s older brother, Choi, raised concerns on March 28 about the bed scene in Real, demanding answers from Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang.
