Actor Kim Jae Young made a jaw-dropping confession during his appearance on SBS's My Little Old Boy on December 8. The actor revealed that he has mentally gone through six divorces, leaving viewers stunned.

Kim Jae Young, who was a special MC on the show, shared some personal details, saying, “I’m 187 cm tall and my shoe size is 296 mm."

He also mentioned that his toes are slightly bent because of a childhood habit of wearing small shoes, adding an interesting, yet unexpected detail about himself.

During the show, Kim Jae Young talked about his close friendships with models-turned-actors Byeon Woo Seok and Joo Woo Jae.

He shared some behind-the-scenes moments from their "year-end gathering", where the trio would gather and drink only soda.

Kim explained, "Joo Woo Jae hyung doesn’t like drinking, and he doesn’t even like watching others drink. So when we hang out, we don’t drink much."

The conversation turned to their modeling days, and when asked who was the most popular at the time, Kim Jae Young said, "None of us were that popular. But Joo Woo Jae was the most famous because he became well-known in Hongdae for fashion."

Later, Kim Jae Young opened up about his views on love and marriage. When asked if he thinks about marriage at the start of a relationship, he admitted, “It’s extreme. I’ve always thought about whether I could marry when I’m in a relationship, and people say it’s unusual.”

Shin Dong Yup jokingly asked, "If you think about marriage and then break up, does that mean you’ve had a divorce?" Kim Jae Young replied, “I think it’s like that. I definitely think that marriage would not work."

When asked how many times he’s actually gone through a divorce, Kim Jae Young shocked everyone by saying, “Six times, seriously?”

Shin Dong Yup couldn’t help but joke, “You’re senior to Seo Jang Hoon,” causing the room to burst into laughter.

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.
