The late Sulli’s older brother has spoken up again after his recent cryptic post led many to believe he was talking about actor Kim Soo Hyun.

A few days ago, Sulli’s brother posted on social media, writing, “Mr. Kim. I have a lot to say, but I can’t say it. You’re going to fall from a high place—hold on tight.”

Right away, netizens suspected he was referring to Kim Soo Hyun, since the actor had previously worked with Sulli in the movie Real (2017).

As speculation grew, Sulli’s brother hit back, saying, “How is it that so-called fans are the least helpful? I never even mentioned the name ‘Soo Hyun,’ but people came rushing at me.”

He continued, “It must be driving you crazy not being able to fact-check, huh? I’ve spent years living with just this one thought: ‘Well, I guess it couldn’t be helped.’ It actually helps me stay sane.”

On March 22, he made another post, writing, “Is the word ‘fan’ some kind of royal inspector’s badge? In this situation, who even counts as a fan? To me, you all just look like people trying to tear each other apart.” He also added, “My life, your life, everyone’s life is ‘Real.’”

Meanwhile, Kim Soo Hyun is currently facing major controversy after the family of the late Kim Sae Ron accused him of grooming her. They claim the actor was in a relationship with Kim Sae Ron for six years, starting when she was 15.

At first, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency denied everything, calling it “false information.” But on March 14, they admitted, “Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020, after Kim Sae Ron became an adult. The claim that he dated her while she was a minor is not true.”

Despite the clarification, online rumors continue to spread, with YouTube exposés fueling the scandal even further.

Seo Ye Ji is facing major backlash after her surprising appearance on SNL Korea 7.

On April 12, Seo Ye Ji made her long-awaited return to variety shows by guest-starring on Coupang Play's SNL Korea Season 7.

Before the show started, she made jaws drop by joking, "I'll gaslight the SNL crew and make it fun," referencing her own past controversies.

During the "Seo Ye GPT" segment, Seo Ye Ji played an AI that helped Kim Won Hoon nail a company presentation. She then made a sharp comment, saying, "The truly embarrassing thing is sitting quietly and being talked about behind your back. I've experienced that a lot," hinting at the criticism she’s faced.

In the "Eve Hair Salon" skit, Seo Ye Ji acted as a salon director and joked about her past "Kim Ddak Ddak" scandal, where she was accused of controlling her then-boyfriend Kim Jung Hyun. When a character mentioned her stiff neck, she responded, "It's firm," making everyone laugh but also stirring mixed feelings.

Fans were shocked to see Seo Ye Ji using her past scandals as comedy material, especially since it’s been eight years since her last variety show appearance. Many pointed out that joking about serious accusations like gaslighting and academic fraud might have gone too far.

The controversy over Seo Ye Ji’s education also came back into the spotlight. She had previously claimed she studied abroad in Spain, but in 2021 it was revealed she never actually attended the university she mentioned.

Her agency explained she was accepted but didn’t attend because of her career in Korea, but many netizens weren’t convinced.

On SNL Korea, Seo Ye Ji even played a character who lied about her past to impress a boyfriend, making fans think of her real-life academic background scandal.

After the episode aired, reactions online exploded. Some comments included, "Falsifying academic background is a crime," "This was too much," "It was funny though," "Let’s forgive it since it’s black comedy," and "Why was Seo Ye Ji the first guest?"

Seo Ye Ji’s bold jokes have definitely split public opinion, with some calling it brave and others saying it only reopened old wounds.
