Actor Kim Jae Young revealed some fun details about his close friendship with actors Byeon Woo Seok and Joo Woo Jae on the December 8 episode of SBS’s My Little Old Boy.

As a special MC on the show, Kim Jae Young made a stunning entrance with his iconic model walk, impressing the "Mother Avengers" group, who couldn’t help but praise his handsome and dignified presence.

When MC Seo Jang Hoon jokingly mentioned that fans say Kim Jae Young’s wish is to always wear a coat no matter the weather, the actor responded with a smile, sharing, "I’m 187 cm tall, and my shoe size is 296 mm."

This sparked further curiosity when Seo Jang Hoon asked if his shoe size was 300 mm, to which Kim Jae Young explained, "I’ve had a habit of wearing shoes that are too small for me since I was young, so my toes are a bit curved." He was then advised to go for shoes around 310 mm for comfort.

But it wasn’t all about fashion. Kim Jae Young also opened up about his deep bond with his fellow actors and former models, Byeon Woo Seok and Joo Woo Jae.

He shared a funny story from one of their year-end gatherings where they all decided to skip the alcohol. "Joo Woo Jae doesn’t like drinking. He doesn’t even enjoy watching others drink. So when we meet, we don’t drink much," he revealed.

Instead, they enjoyed carbonated drinks and spent their time sharing stories about their achievements and talking about their successful friends.

When asked who was the most popular among them during their model days, Kim Jae Young humbly admitted, "None of us were very popular as models back then. However, Joo Woo Jae was probably the most well-known because he was famous for his fashion in Hongdae."

The conversation took a lighthearted turn when Seo Jang Hoon joked, "It’s a bit sad that you all sat together," and Shin Dong Yup humorously added, "It seems like they spent meaningless time together," causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Kim Jae Young’s career began as a model in 2011, and he later made his acting debut in 2013 with the film No Breathing.

Actor Kim Soo Hyun's dedicated fanbase is taking action against online hate and false rumors aimed at damaging his reputation.

On April 22nd, the Kim Soo Hyun Fan Union (comprising Daum Cafe Yukaris and DC Inside Kim Soo Hyun Gallery) released a statement announcing they are working to file criminal charges against those spreading harmful slander about the actor.

Their lawyer, Yang Tae Young from Law Firm Siwoo, revealed that they plan to take legal action as soon as this week, filing a formal complaint at the Seoul Seongbuk Police Station. According to the fan union, these online users are violating the Information and Communication Network Act by spreading malicious defamation.

While defamation cases can be pursued by third parties, unlike insults which require the victim to act, the fan union is determined to protect Kim Soo Hyun's reputation. They stated, "This is a voluntary movement to defend the actor’s rights and maintain a healthy fan culture. We won’t tolerate personal attacks disguised as freedom of speech and will take action without hesitation."

The fan union also emphasized that this effort is not just limited to South Korea. International fans have joined the movement, showing support for the cause. The union has gathered solid evidence, including harmful comments, manipulated images, and false posts made over the past few months.

In a related move, Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, filed a separate report with the authorities on April 15th, condemning the continuous spread of baseless rumors and unverified claims that have been damaging to the actor’s image. They also filed a defamation lawsuit.

This all stems from claims made by the family of late actress Kim Sae Ron, starting in March. Through the Garoseero Research Institute YouTube channel, they alleged that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship from November 2015 (when Kim Sae Ron was a minor) until July 2021. They presented supposed evidence such as handwritten letters Kim Soo Hyun allegedly sent to Kim Sae Ron during his military service and a photo of Kim Soo Hyun kissing Kim Sae Ron on the cheek.

In response, Kim Soo Hyun's agency clarified on March 14th that the actor only began a relationship with Kim Sae Ron after she became an adult, from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020. Kim Soo Hyun also addressed the rumors directly during a press conference on March 31st, stating, "I did not date Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor."

The situation continues to unfold, with fans and the actor taking a firm stance against the damaging rumors.
